This week’s Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge offers another sketch to utilize those left over strips of paper you have sitting on your desk. I was not a fan of this sketch when I saw it. Using up strips of paper scraps is not my forte and my cards always end up with too many layers for… Read More »
