Challenge #47~Sketch

Morning everyone!!! Happy 2011....has everyone been doing good writing 2011 instead of 2010??? I'm normally pretty good at remembering but man...I remember when I worked for Wal-Mart when people would give me checks beginning the new year...ugh...I had to double check everyones because 90% of people wrote it wrong!

How did you all do with last weeks challenge? That sketch was pretty great huh!! We have another one today from the fabulous Colleen so let's get on with it!

We are still being sponsored by:

Tracey has just put together some new Valentines images so be sure to stop by the store and check them out. She has also started up the monthly contest again. All's you have to do is make a project using a TSB image and link it to the monthly contest HERE. The more projects you do the more chances you have to win...that includes our DT too...so girls make sure you link your projects to the contest to get a chance to win.

Also...TSB has a FB page HERE and there will be a new freebie coming up soon so if you don't have any images to work with yet...become a follower on the page and you'll be getting an image soon!

Okay okay....on to the challenge!!!
