A new addition to Sketch N Scrap + DT call

It is hard to believe that Sketch N Scrap has almost been around for a year! Since its inception Sketch N Scrap has undergone a lot of changes and we have had TONS of fun getting creative together! As we prepare for our upcoming first birthday party, we are excited to announce a new addition to Sketch N Scrap ~ CARDS!!! I don't know about you but I love making cards!

So in addition to our layout sketches posted on the 1st and 15th we will be adding two card sketches a month posted on the 5th and 20th! Exciting huh?

Congratulations Nancie! (Please email your address to : sketchnscrap@gmail.com to claim your prize!)

Each month it seems to get harder to pick a monthly featured scrapper, but this month our team has selected Christine Perez as our February Featured Scrapper.  Christine submitted to lovely layouts this month and both featured some lovely photos of some awesome architecture!  The photos she used of the Reims cathedral are stunning! I love how she made this layout into a double pager and let the accent be all on the photos!  In her second submission called Greenwich Village, I was astounded by her use of ink blots/splatters so perfectly placed that they gave a nice grungy feel to her layout without overpowering the pictures! Please stop by her blog to learn more about Christine and view some of her lovely and inspiring work.  And don't forget to leave her some love! Congrats Christine! 

Ladies, we hope you will have time this month to join us in our challenges! Our first monthly sketch is up and can be found HERE or in the sidebar.  You have until March 31st to play along by linking up your layout in our sidebar then check back on March 15th when we issue our second monthly challenge.
