Strong Of Heart for #TGIF344 & #FMS514

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

The challenge this week at TGIF Challenges is a 'Product Challenge' using Pastels.  The team asked, "have you used them", and since my answer was No, I had to get busy and learn, and I love them!  I'm so happy I accepted the challenge and fit it into my busy week.  

Next, I needed a sketch, and my go to is Freshly Made Sketches.  Cecile has created this weeks sketch, please see it below and visit their blog post for more creative inspiration!
