JANUARY SKETCH CHALLENGE

Good Afternoon Ladies

Welcome to 2010, cant believe I'm saying that!!!!

Well we are starting the New Year off with a bang, we are moving to Queensland today, as we speak the truck is being loaded and the last thing I requested was that my computer be put on last, because I needed to update my challenges, say hello and goodbye's. I do hope everyone had a fabulous NYE, we had a quite one, because of today's events, but that was nice too.

Anyhow I will be offline for a couple of days then Ill be back in full swing, thought I would let you know the ins and out of travels at the moment so you dont all think Ive dropped off the earth.LOL

Please find below the details for the January 2010 Sketch Challenge.

The January Sketch Design



My Interpretation of the Sketch Design



Prize Pack



How you interpret the sketch is initially up to you. You can choose what ever Papers, Embellishments and Theme you like. All I ask is that you follow the sketch and keep in mind the original outlay of it all.

You may choose to flip it, turn it on its side or even make it a double. The list of possibilities are endless, so go forth and create.

Submission & Cut off time:

Please submit your entries onto the new ning site for Scrap.n.Art in the album provided (January Sketch Challenge) or to my email address scrap.n.art@hotmail.com by the 30th of January 2010, this will allow ample time for the judging to take place in the slide show area and the winner will be announced on the 31st of January 2010.

Keep up the great work ladies and I look forward to seeing your sketch creations.

Kind regards Angie xox
