Sorry for the late post. But I hope you think it is worth the wait. :) I am in a hurry so I will keep it short today! First, let me share Sketch 42 with you:

Sketch 41: Cards,

Before, I share our cards today, I want to tell you that I am so excited for Danielle's debut!!! If you remember, Danielle Holsapple joined us about a month ago; however, she needed time to jump in and get on our schedule! I am pleased to announce that she is officially in the rotation and creating for Triple the Sketch! And no, you are not confused. I did just hire another Danielle last week. So, you will have to watch closely when Danielle Wycough begins to share her creations since we will have two Danielle's here at TTS. :) I will always include their last initial so hopefully that will help keep everyone straight!

Now onto today's creations! For our cards today, look at the different decorative edges each designer used for this sketch! I just love the variety!

Sketch 40: Cards

Before I share our creations for today, I wanted to introduce our newest team member to the Triple the Sketch Design Team! We have added Danielle Wycough to the team! Elizabeth Carney, one of our other designers, highly recommened Danielle to me. Then after looking at Danielle's blog and praying about it, I knew she was supposed to be a part of this team! Please welcome her, and then stop by her blog too. You can see Danielle's blog here. You will begin seeing Danielle's work in about 4 weeks. I like to give the team plenty of time to work on their creations so it will be just a bit until you see Danielle's. But in the mean time, you can keep up with her blog! :)
