Happy New Year! Happy New Challenge!

Hi all! Welcome back to Caardvarks! We are starting off 2008 with an exclusive sketch challenge from Becky Fleck. Becky created this CardMap just for us! We'd *love* to see your take on this one...link us to your creation in the comments section of this post by January 18th. We'll add your stuff to the DT's stuff in the CardMap Gallery as we move along. What's this about a prize? Oh! Yes, a prize...the winner of this challenge will receive a big priority mail box stuffed with scrapbooking yum yums. Seriously stuffed!




Here's what the Caardvarks Crew did with it:
