Heat Wave Week Challenge!

It's Friday and you know what that means... time to announce other fabulous winner from our Sketch Week Challenge!  Congrats to Gretchen with your awesome card inspired by Martha's sketch! 
458512_600x600
We loved seeing all of your takes on the sketches!  And for a chance to win a prize pack of the Heat Wave line we've got a new challenge for you to tackle...
Heat Wave challenge We know that not all of you have Heat Wave in your hands yet, so to wrap up the month of February we've got a love themed challenge for you to try. 

And even though it's a summer and beach themed line, Heat Wave can definitely make a love layout hot!  Take this great example from Design Team member Paige...
How Do I Love
Supplies: 12 x 12 Cardstock Vanilla (71041) – AC Cardstock, Cherry Cowabunga Paper (35108) – Heat Wave, Molten Melon Paper (35117) – Heat Wave, Day in the Sun (70062) – Flair, Paper Flowers (77238) – Beach House, Printed Chipboard (77239) – Beach House, Chestnut Niki Riki (53038) – Thickers, Aqua Niki Riki (53039) – Thickers, Grapefruit Niki Riki (53040) – Thickers, Sunflower Niki Riki (53041) – Thickers, Snapper Journaling (42708) – Remarks, Solid Glue Runner (61711) – This to That, .03 Black (62311) - Precision Pen

Paige says: "I had so much fun using a beach-themed line to create a “love” layout. Flowers, arrows, and glitter really add to the lovey dovey effect. I made circular borders around a single photograph from house shapes like paper flowers as well as elements cut out from patterned paper like glitter flowers and glitter arrows. A couple lines of white and brown stitching through each row adds some definition. I just love the versatility of all these new lines by American Crafts!"

Now it's your turn to show us the love!

1. The layout with American Crafts in your supply list.

2.  You must leave a comment on this blog post with a link to your layout online.  You also must fill in your email address when posting your comment on this blog post.

3. Layouts and links must be posted by midnight PST on Thursday, March 4.

Good luck and have a great weekend!

Okay, I'm a bit confused here,- can I do a card instead of a layout? In the assignment it says to make a layout, but in the criterias for posting it says layouts OR cards. Can I make a card? And also, in the assignemt it only states that you need to use two or more AC products, but in the criterias for posting your submission it says you have to say which sketch you used. Do I need to use a sketch (and in that case, what sketches are you referring to) or not?
I have an idea for a card without using a scetch in my head, and I want to know if I can participate with that =)
