Hello SCT friends and welcome to 2017! We hope you enjoyed a fabulous celebration and welcoming all the opportunities that lie ahead in 2017. Here at SCT we have a fun new year planned for you which will include a monthly sketch challenge released on the 1st of each month. You'll have until the 20th of the month to complete the challenge and send it to us and we'll share them at a predetermined date later in the month (this month it will be the 23rd!) Fun right? Let's do it together!
Here is our first sketch for this monthly challenge which comes from our Fall 2016 issue!
A perfect sketch for all those holiday photos and if you want to turn it in to a double page, feel free! We would love to see how you interpret this great sketch by Cathy Zielske! Of course, where there's a challenge there is always a prize offering too! For our first month our friends at Hero Arts have a wonderful prize to share which is perfect for this time of year...
"Celebrate 2017 in style! Our featured products from December are fun for raising a glass and toasting the celebrations in your life, planning a girls’ night, or inviting friends to happy hour. The cute little stamps and dies are also great for your scrapbook pages and planners, too!"

Thank you SCT for coming out with a monthly sketch challenge! Some time after C&C Cornwall I seemed to have misplaced my mojo so this monthly challenge is coming at the right time for me. And the fact that you're offering prizes to one random winner is icing on the cake! :)
