SFYTT Guest Designer Week 2...

It's Week 2 of my month as Designer of the Month for Jen del Muro's i{heart}2stamp Sketch For You To Try challenge and this week's sketch is a winner. My mom-in-law, Susan, has produced TWO amazing cards. You can see a sneak peek of my card creation below, and please leave comments for Susan on this post!
