We know that you all love a great sketch.
Sketches have so much life in them. Use different collections each time, and you are sure to have endless possibilities. You can also rotate the sketch right or left, and get a whole new take on it.
Sketches are created as a “jumping off” point for you. They can be interpreted exactly or very loosely. There are not measurements, so you can make it yours.
CHALLENGE #4: Create a spread using this sketch as your inspiration, incorporating one of the following pinwheel techniques to your spread! When you are done, take a quick photo and post it to the event page before 5:00 pm CST to qualify for the prize.
Use hashtag #CMVirtualCrop.
Kelly uses traditional pinwheels and shows you not only how you can layer two of them together, but also how you can layer them with flower shapes.

I think this was sent out by mistake. There’s nothing on the blog page when you try to open this. I guess this is for the crop tomorrow.
