Hello there!  It's time for another great challenge over on the Cut It Up blog.  This time our theme is Sketches.  Pick any sketch you like and include a die-cut on your project and you are good to go :-)  Our sponsor is:  As Cute as a Button.

The sketch I used is from:  Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #211.   This link has a ton of wonderful sketches :-)  I created this card for my daughter's 10th birthday.  We got her the WiiU game Guitar Hero, so of course that was the inspiration for my card.  I love how it came out!!
