ICS Blog Hop - December 2025 - Sketch Challenge!!

 
Welcome to our Inspire - Create - Share Blog Hop for December 2025!  This month's we are doing a sketch challenge - lets see how I do :)  Here is the sketch -
and here is my take on it - 
I used the Celebratory Sips DSP - both for the background layer; and teh fussy cut images to make this fun Birthday Card.  Can you see the connection to the sketch?  Sketch challenges are a jumping off point - then you add your creativity to it.  I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Hope this gives you some inspiration and gets your creative juices going - because, you can take on the challenge too - see what you can make using the sketch!! 
For now, take a few minutes and hop on through all the blogs below for more takes on this sketch - and be sure to leave comments!!
