It's time for a brand new sketch challenge for the month of April!! Let's build our stash of holiday cards for 2026! The {BYSH} Cardmakers team is sharing some fabulous inspiration for this month's sketch! Before we check those out, let's have a look at the sketch...

A super fun sketch this time that's just perfect for scrap papers! The focal image is within a circle or can be any shape. Lots of possibilities! The measurements are there as a guide... to inspire, not require. Hope the ideas start flowing and you can build your stash of holiday cards!
