Sketch #84 - 2nd January 2010 - Simonne's DT Week! - sponsored by Your Next Stamp

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!

As it's the first Saturday of the month, it's DT week here at Sketch Saturday, and today it's my turn (Simonne) to set the sketch! This is the very first time I've drawn a sketch for Sketch Saturday, so please be gentle, LOL!

My sketch is being sponsored by my DT boss and good friend Karen from Your Next Stamp. Your Next Stamp is a new rubber stamp company based in Canada, and they have the most wonderful fun, cute and whimsical images. If you haven't seen these stamps yet, then hop on over to the store and take a look.

Karen has very generously offered the "Shopper Fhiona" stamp set for one lucky Sketch Saturday entrant - thanks Karen!

I would also like to introduce you to our Guest Designer for the month of January ...

Angela makes the most beautiful creations, and she has very recently joined the DT at Your Next Stamp and the DT at Truly Scrumptious. If you haven't visited her blog yet, hop on over and have a good nosey around - I promise you won't be disappointed!
