It's time for a sketch challenge!  A fun sketch that should give you lots of great ideas!  Use any shapes, just be sure we can see the sketch in your card!

We have made a change to our challenge rules – you have always had to use a stamp older than a year but now you must include the age (or approximate age) of the stamp in your blog post. After all – we want to give these old stamps some love!
