Hi Stampers, Today we have a sketch challenge.  Mr Brown came and delivered my pre-order and the stamp set Under My Umbrella was in the box.  Using this set was so fun and perfect for the challenge and it was so fun coloring in all the images.  I know the sketch has a heart on it but that is the beauty of a sketch, you use that as a starting point for your design and that is just what I did.
