I just launched a brand new MyRewards Program, be sure to check it out. I look forward to seeing what everyone creates with this Sketch, and good luck!"

The Prize:
One lucky, random participant this week will win the Let it Snow set from Creative Clear Stamps.

We're lucky this week to be joined by the talented Jessica Fick this week. Here's a bit more about Jessica in her own words.

"I am a wife, a mother of two who not only loves her family but loves all things paper related! I design card kits around some of my favorite stamp sets and enjoy getting back into the classroom (being a former elementary education teacher) teaching classes to adults who love playing with paper, markers, inks, and embellishments as much as I do!"

And here is Jessica's beautiful card using this week's sketch.
