Sketch Challenge extended to October 15th!

 We're extending our sketch challenge so get our your Eyelet Outlet projects and create with us! Here's the sketch!

And a few ideas from our Design Team
Created by Pearl

Please interpret this sketch however you choose but you must use products from Eyelet Outlet somewhere on your card. Melinda added a bow perfect for the coordinating ribbon we offer with our brads so we'd love to see that ribbon used if you have some in your stash.
