I do use sketches! It's very helpful when you feel a little uninspired. Thank you for the chance to win 😊
I haven't used sketches much but I do take inspiration from other cards
I should… I have many printed sketches, but I just don't use them. I guess the eye-candy is more appealing. I like to take a card that I love, then make my own version. Love the party pics- my granddtrs would just love this!!!
So very cute Yainea!!!
I love sketches especially when the Mojo needs a swift kick in the pants! LOL
Yes, I have been using more sketches this year as I attempt to make better cards. Card sketches provide balanced and creative compositions, and are much better than trying to rely on my own ideas, haha!
I haven't but tell myself I need to! I see so many great cards done from sketches, especially when using an entire 6 x 6 pad to make cards. It would certainly give me a great head start in my creativity! thanks for the chance to win this book.
I haven't used sketches before since I'm so new to card marking. But I can see the value of it and would like to give it a try.
I don't use sketches often but I do get inspiration from other card designs.
i dont use sketches, but i do use photos to inspire me.
thanks for the chance to win
I do use sketches quite often
Love these party ideas from Yainea! I have used sketches for cards, but most of the time I look at a finished card photo for inspiration. Sketches can be very handy and inspirational though — I should try using them more often!
Adorable party ideas! I love to use sketches as I create!
Yes – I like to go to a sketch if I am having trouble getting the creative juices flowing – but I like to alter it and put my own spin on it.
Card sketches are great for inspiration if you need help to get started.
Love me some Cardmaps!
Sketches are my go to when I am doing serious crafting.
I use Card Sketches when I am feeling like something is missing. It's great to have a reference on hand! I especially love Scrapbook & Cards Today! Even there magazine has been quite helpful!
I must use this stamp to make my own rainbow unicorns! Too cute! I use sketches all the time to make cards! I find them super useful when I'm struggling for ideas. Thank you so much for the chance to win!
Love using sketches! I loved the video too. I want to DIY my next party! My girls will love to help!
I use sketches from time to time. Use photos more.
Loving all the cuteness
of these rainbow party
items! I don't use
sketches for my cards.

I have never used sketches, I don't even think I would know how but I do save (pin?) pictures to help me create.
I LOVE LAWN FAWN! I love the cute party decorations!
yes! I love lawn fawn too!
I never use sketches, i tend to look at pictures or magazines to inspire me. By the way, I loved the video! Thanks. Marisol
It's fun to use sketches. To design and color.though I don't use them often. I use then for lettering on envelopes 🙂
I have used sketches to make my cards. Cardmaps is an excellent reference to use for making cards too!
I do usr sketches occasionally. They are a great resource.
I love sketches! They are usually a starting point for me and sometimes I make a card with the exact layout as the sketch shows. I am so looking forward to this book. I have a couple other ones when they were issued. This one will be so helpful. Love the rainbow party!
I use sketches to make some cards, they give a person great ideas. I have never heard of Cardmaps, I need to get one.
The party decor is adorable! I like to use sketches for inspiration.
Wow the party set us amazing Love it
I often use the sketches I see in Card Maps.
I might not use it exactly as posted – adapting it
to my style or the person who is receiving it instead.
Always needing inspiration.
Love your party set.
thanks for sharing.
Pretty party projects. I knew I would find a use for all those scrap strips I kept.
Sketches are great for inspiration especially when you are struggling with an idea.

I am having problems posting my comment.
The party decorations are very cute! I do use sketches. It really helps to get started on an idea.
I always improvise, but sometimes take inspiration ( usually lawnfawn!)
Love layout inspiration and ideas!
When I need some inspiration I will use sketches. Thanks always being inspiring Lawn Fawn!
Yep, I love using card sketches! It would be so awesome to be inspired by all the incredible talent and sketches in this fabulous SCT publication. Thanks for the chance to win a copy!
Love all the party ideas. No, I don't use sketches, but you've made me think that sketching would be a benefit to my card making.
I use sketches, because they serve as a springboard for card making & scrapbooking.
I use card sketches and I love Lawn Fawn too.
I don't use card sketches much, but I do have a binder full of sketches. I guess I need to use them more.
I do use sketches! I'm fairly new to cardmaking and it helps me make organized designs.
I do use sketches when I have an idea for a card in my head. 9/10 it doesn't end up looking the same but it helps organize pieces. But some times, I like to just "wing it". I even just take pieces and throw them up and see where they come down. You can get amazing things happening when you don't think about it too much.
Love the colors. Soft and beautiful!
Great party ideas, again, Yainea! Pretty pastels. I use sketches a lot… I'm pretty bad about layout design. I often get ideas, but need help with organizing elements so it flows.
Yes, sketches are my sure fire mojo motivator. Love them
sometimes I use sketches or ideas for color combos or putting your little critters together.
I haven't used sketches
Yes, I like to use sketches for my cards.
I do use card sketches to make cards! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I enjoy using card sketches–thanks for a chance to win!!
Those little unicorns are so cute! I love the "watercolor" papers.
Sketches get me out of my "stamper's block" every time!
What sweet & precious elements for a fun rainbow party! I know some little ones really enjoyed these! Great job!
I do! Not all the time but at the last craft con I went to, I carried around a tiny sketchbook so I could jot down ideas I got while there so I wouldn't forget. My favorite was a sketch I made of a stamp I saw of a topiary shaped like a bunny!
Love! LOVE!!! LOVE the unicorn party idea!! my grand daughter would love this too!! we might need to do this when she comes this summer
I don't sketch, but I do take pictures of ideas so that i can recreate a concept with my spin.
I'm always amazed by how versatile Lawn Fawn stamps and dies are. This party theme is so adorable and unique. 🙂
So cute! I love that unicorn! I look at sketches, but I don't use them for inspiration.
