Challenge #11 - A Gorjuss Sketch For You

Thursday 19 March 2009
Good Morning Crafters!
It's Thursday again! how the week's fly by! and it's spring sun is out this morning!
Firstly thank you to everyone who took part in last weeks 'One for the Boys' challenge a theme most of us struggle with, but you all did us proud and we have seen some wonderful work this last week!
The challenge was down to me (Joanne) this week so I have bravely done my first ever sketch for you to use, nothing too complicated!

You can twist it, flip it, add to it, but please make sure we can still see that you have used the sketch. You don't have to use an image where it says image you can use a topper/decoupage/photo anything you like, the sketch is perfect for a scrapbook page!!!
You can see the guidelines on the sidebar.
HAVE FUN!
To be in with a chance to win, just leave us a comment with a link to your work with Mr Linky and we will randomly pick 1 winner next Thursday.
Don't forget you can make anything!!
We hope you will join in this week and we look forward to seeing your creations. If you don't have a blog please email us at charismachallenges@live.co.uk and we'll will post it on this blog for you.
You have till Wednesday 10pm GMT London to get your entry's in!
