Challenge #36~sketch~hip to be square

Morning everyone! Welcome to another Monday morning here at the Critter Challenge Blog!
We are half way through the month if you can believe that. It's almost time for Halloween...my kids are going as Buzz and Tinker Bell. It's amazing how much costumes cost...I couldn't find a good deal online to save my life. So I made sure I got them big so they could play with them at home too and get some extra use out of them!

We are still being sponsored by the fabulous MelJen's Designs. Make sure you check them out and join in their weekly challenges also.


On to our Challenge:

Challenge #36 SKETCH and HIP TO BE SQUARE

Here is your sketch by our wonderful DT memeber Heidi....isn't this an awesome sketch?


Now the "hip to be square" part of the  challenge:
All major elements should be square. You can use circles or other shapes as long as the major elements are square.

Now on to what the DT came up with:

Colleen:
Wow...what a great card. I'm loving all those squares.
MelJen's Image!



Glenda
Wow....I just love thos square shapes in the boxes...so cute!

One new thing, our DT....we just announced our new and returning members the other day and now today you get to start seeing some of their wonderful work. Second new thing, our sponsor....it's a new month so it's time for a new sponsor. Third new thing...challenge, a new one each Monday!

So, let's start with our sponsor this month. I am sooo pleased to say that MelJens Designs was able to get us out of a tight spot this month and was happy to sponsor us. They are some wonderful people over there!
