Welcome to the Graduation Card Sketch challenge for Card Sketch #43 with the Paper Craft Crew. We look forward to seeing your creations this week. We are mixing it up this week by adding a "suggested" theme! With Graduations happening around the corner, we could all use some inspiration so why not share your interpretation of this weeks Graduation Card Sketch challenge!

Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch

Graduation Card Sketch #43

Just some things to think about as you play along with us this week

You may flip or rotate the card sketch, change or replace the shapes, but please make sure the general layout is recognizable.
Share a direct link to your creation, not just your blog, using the InLinkz feature at the end of this post. If InLinkz is down, please add a link with your comment.
If you don't have a blog, don't worry! You can still use inLinkz by linking to your photo posted on Facebook or a similar social media site.
The Paper Craft Crew Design Team are Stampin' Up! Demonstrators and as such, we would like to see a minimum of 2 Stampin' Up! products or stamped images used on your card but don't let that stop you from participating.
Only those individuals that have at least 2 Stampin' Up! products (please try to include at least one stamped image using Stampin' Up! products) are eligible for any blog candy that may be offered along with being a "featured participant."
When uploading to online galleries, please use keyword PCCCS043.

Additional Details important to the Paper Craft Crew

SOCIAL NETWORKING and UPDATES… Look for the Paper Craft Crew on Facebook! You can like us by clicking HERE! You can also find the Paper Craft Crew on Pinterest. Don't forget to sign up for email updates if you haven't done so! We encourage you to share the Paper Craft Crew along with your card creation via email, on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter or any other social venue.

GUEST DESIGNER OPPORTUNITY… Each time you participate "adds up" and may earn you an invitation to be a guest designer for a future challenge! How cool is that… Also, the more participation by our readers increases the exposure for everyone from participants to the design team to Stampin' Up! To be eligible as a guest designer, you MUST participate in no less than 5 consecutive sketches. Our FIRST Guest Designers will be in January… Over the next week or so I'll be contacting our regular participants to ask about being a guest designer for an upcoming sketch.

BLOG CANDY… Now, for the exciting news! We will be offering SOME type of BLOG CANDY at least ONCE a month! BUT you will never know which week the Blog Candy will show up. We have to keep you on your toes and coming back for more! NOTE: shipping of blog candy within the United States is free, unfortunately, we must ask our international winners to pay for shipping on any blog candy they may win.

So… What are you going to create? We are excited to see!
