April Sketch Challenge

Good morning everyone – running a little late today – but here I am!

Sharon here with your new Sketch Challenge.

Hello everyone – the sketch is pretty simple this month so I’m challenging people to come up with a “paired words” title using an ampersand.
You might have a favourite store (Marks & Spencer, Barnes & Noble), a favourite food item/items (Beer & Pizza, M&Ms). There are movie & book titles that might make a good title for your story (Law & Order, Fast & Furious, Love & Friendship, Pride & Prejudice) or any number of paired words in common usage (Odds & Ends, Skin & Bones, Wear & Tear, Song & Dance), OR you might just have a story to tell about two people.

Katie has put together a FREEBIE for us that includes the cork ampersand, the circle frames and the chevron arrows.

Some of our CT friends made some pages based on the sketch for your inspiration.

First up we have this pretty page by Penny (pennyh) called Giggles & Piggyback Rides – how cute!

Penny used:

Next we have this lovely page by Stacia about her good friends Phoebe & Bethany. I love the pretty mix of florals tucked around the frames!
