Karen's Doodles Challenge 1 - a Sketch

Welcome to Karen's Doodles United States Challenge blog.  We are so excited to begin this wonderful journey.  Today is our first challenge and we hope you will join in on the fun for a chance to win Karen's Doodles digi stamps.  The challenge rules are listed on the right sidebar, the most important rule being you MUST use a Karen's Doodles image.  If you belong to her Paper Craft Planet group, you can pick up a freebie image to use. Please read the rules and follow them closely.

For our first challenge, Karen has an extra special prize for the 1st place winner.  All winners will be chosen by Random.org.

• 1st Place Winner- 1 digi stamp that you design and get to name and 2 digi stamps of your choice from Karen's Doodles
• 2nd Place - 2 Digi stamps of your choice from Karen's Doodles
• 3rd Place - 1 Digi stamp of your choice from Karen's Doodles

The challenge will close on Sunday, March 14th at midnite EST.  Winners will be announced before the next challenge. 

We thought we would start with a sketch challenge.  You may rotate the sketch or change it to a square card, just try to stay close to the basic design.  You may add ribbon or other embellishments, this is just a layout.  You may use any Karen's Doodles image, the Lucky Leprechaun is just to give you an example.  To enter the challenge, please add to the InLinkz you will find at the end of this post, the URL to your actual blog post or online gallery.  Please do not link to your main blog, we want to be able to find your post to leave you comments.

So let's check out what our incredibly talented Design Team has created to share with you today.  We hope you will find inspiration from our work.
