11.25 sketch


So, how's everyone's Turkey Day going?  Stuffed yet? 

Here's this week's sketch for your creative time in between eating and shopping, LOL!

Some DT inspiration:





 








This week's sketch is sponsored by Stash To Treasure.  


A little about Stash to Treasure:

"We are always looking for new and exciting ways to use the many products we have in our craft spaces, and we know you are too. Scrapbooking changes so fast, and all the new products and techniques can be both fun and overwhelming. At Your Scrapbook Stash, we think you should have an easy way to increase your fun, while eliminating that overwhelmed feeling. So we created just that: Stash to Treasure.



The Stash to Treasure team is dedicated to bringing you cutting edge classes, exclusive tutorials, and new techniques, ranging from beginner to more advanced. We will be introducing you to new and exciting products, and showing you just what you can do with them. Join the Stash Girls and an amazing lineup of teachers as we bring you new classes and content every month! Aren’t sure how to get the most out of your mists? Let us show you! Need some fun new ways to use border punches? We’ve got the video!


As a subscriber, each month you will receive a full class, complete video instruction, as well as several exclusive tutorials, and step by step instructions to completing a variety of techniques and projects. Each month will be jam-packed with content, and each month will feature a different teacher, so you will get a range of styles and creative ideas. You also get to choose to purchase the class kit, or work through the classes using items from your own stash."

This week's lucky winner will get a three-month membership to the Stash to Treasure site, which will include at least 3 classes that the winner can enjoy for free!
