Sharing a sketch for the first time

I sketch in my little graph book all the time, it helps me sort out what I want to do and what size photos to print. I decided that I would share a sketch with the girls over at 3 Scrappy Boys. They are the coolest bunch of ladies, super supportive, encouraging and full of creative spunk. Mia (aka Mikesmom) even took me up on a challenge and created her own version on my sketch. So I have included it here for you all to see.

SO......what do you guys think? What to play along? Let's have a little challenge, Email me your version of the sketch and on the 15th of October there will be a scrappy prize for the winner. This is Mia's great example, love how she inked up the bright colors to make the layout more outdoorsy boy, and how she used the different shapes down in the lower corner.
This is my version, I wanted the woods man feel and this October Afternoon Paper was P-E-R-F-E-C-T. I also wanted the look of a log, so I hiked out into my back yard and took a photo of stump rings then printed it on cardstock and cut it out! I used the scrap bits left over to create the tag and other circle. Products used Core-dinations Cardstock, October afternoon Pattern paper and ticket, brads by american craft and bazzill and buttons by foof fa la. TFL :)
I hope to see your creations too!
