Today I have for you a card created for the sketch challenge at Global Design Project #GDP234.

To ensure we are taking advantage of the loads of family time that has fallen into our laps and the new routines that have had to be created for the kids to get their exercise, fresh air, house chores and “school time” in – they are e-learning using Zoom and Google Classroom. Wow, has technology saved the day as far as education and communication go, at this point in time. I needed to pull something together quickly, we have loads of time but it is quite structured, so must use the windows when I can get them.

This card was just that, I pulled from the March Paper Pumpkin kit which is oh so cute! I Love it. It coordinates very well with the Under My Umbrella bundle from the Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Coordination paper pack called Pleased as punch. The 2″ Starburst punch, The Banner Triple punch, the Small Flower punch from Sale-A-Bration and a tiny piece of Burlap Ribbon adding texture for the basket – worked together nicely. The sentiment “Wishing you Brighter Days Ahead” is from 1 of the 2 stamp sets that came in the March Paper Pumpkin kit. The basket of flowers image is also from the March Paper Pumpkin Kit – such a cute Kit!

Thanks again for stopping by and spending a bit of your time with me. I hope you enjoyed learning about how this card came together. Hopefully you were even inspired just a bit.
