March Madness with Sketches #322 & 323

Good morning and welcome to 

March Madness.  

It is the month for some people that Winter turns to Spring and Summer turns to Autumn (Fall), depending on which hemisphere you live in.

Now onto our new sketches for March.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter our last month's challenge.  We visited so many lovely cards on your sites, and we'll be back on the 18th of February with another post announcing our winner, and the Top 3 or 5 cards, along with some additional inspiration.

You can enter up to three projects per month, so why not try the new sketches and the retro sketch?

We love visiting your blogs, and we can't wait to see your entries. We have two new sketches for you this month, and also a retro from the past sketch. Here are the sketches for March 2026.

Sketch #322

Sketch #323

I rate sketch #322 easy, and #323 is easy too; it's a way you can use up all those different pieces of scrap design paper we all have stashed away.

I've checked through my computer for older sketches, and this would be one of my very favourite sketches.

Sketch #144

29th August 2018

My card in August 2018.

Remember, these sketches can be flipped and or turned; it's entirely up to you as long as we can see the original sketch in your card. 

Now onto some inspiration from our wonderful Design Team.
