I don't know what it is like for you but here in Scotland we are starting to see the signs of spring. Daffodils are pushing their way up through the soil, the sun is streaming through the fluffy clouds and the chitter chatter of new arrivals is filling the air.
This month for the sketch we challenge you to use the sketch to create a layout/card/project to show what Spring means to you. You can use any Rusty Pickle papers but we would love to see some of the fantastic trims that are available for most of the collections but coordinate with all!
For your info:
Here are some layouts from the Chefs, who used the sketch to inspire you

Thank you so much to all who entered our December Blog Challenge. The challenge was to use the December sketch to make a layout using Rusty Pickle Christmas papers. Challenge participants were also asked to add a little sparkle to their layout by using glitter or bling. We had so many wonderful entries which can be seen {here}.
The chefs have voted and the winner of the December sketch challange is December 25th by Aphra. We love her take on the sketch and the clever way she did her title.
