I confess: I am a sketcher. I never used to be, but now I have discovered sketching, I am addicted. I keep all my sketches in a notebook, and add to it almost every day.
And I sketch in a very particular way - I can't do a straight drawing - it has to be on an angle... I am strange.
So, to honour the arrival of new year, I have decided to have a week of sketching fun.
Over the next few days, I will share a new sketch and card every day or so. I will add a link tool so you can play along with me if you wish.
AND - to make it even more fun and exciting, the lovely ladies at The Ribbon Girl (the BEST ribbon shop EVER) have just offered a fab prize for a lucky participant of TODAY's challenge: one winner will receive a metre of each of their colours of Saddlestitch Grosgrain ribbon - that's a lot of delicious ribbony goodness. Thanks girls!

SO without further delay - on to Day 1.
Here is the sketch...
And here is my card. Totally clean and simple.

Oh, and can you tell I have a new camera!!! My father gave it to me. I am SO SO lucky. I will be experimenting with it over the next month or so... Can't WAIT!
So, play along if you'd like to be in with a chance of winning a stash of ribbon - I'd love to see what you create. Submit entries by Friday 7th January. And see you again soon for the next sketch.
Happy New Year!!!
