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. 

Create a card based on the sketch and link up your creation here to our blog using Mr. Linky by October 15th at midnight Pacific time. We'll choose a winner by October 20th.

The winning card will be awarded a prize pack of Eyelet Outlet goodies.

We'd love for you to share this contest with your friends!
