Pixie Cottage Challenge #14 Buttons & Guest Sketch Artist!

It's Once Upon Wednesday time and for the second week in a row we have news for you!

This is my design card for the Pixie Cottage Challenge for this week! Guess What! I am just thrilled that for the very first Guest Sketch Artist, we have Priscilla from Midnight Madness! Not only does she have the best sketches around, she is such an awesome ARTIST. She has started her own digital image line that is absolutely wonderful!

For my card this week, I used the stamp "Hannah by the Pond". This stamp was illustrated by Sandra Hammer. Isn't she just perfect! I have sat by the pond (or lake in my case) many times. Each July, my family travels to Northern Indiana to spend the fourth with my sisters and brother. We often sit on the rock wall and look over the lake, especially for those wonderful Independence Day fireworks. This image is really near and dear to my heart and I just couldn't resist using it for this weeks sketch!
