December 15 2016 Challenge Featured Layout #2

Today's featured layout is a beautiful winter page based on our December 15th sketch. Before we show you today's inspiration, though, we want to recognize our sponsors for this challenge.

A big thank you goes out to The ScrapRoom for sponsoring this challenge with a $20.00 gift certificate to their online store for one lucky participant.

Each month TSR customers receive exclusive access to four Recipe Cards, complete with a full-color photo and step-by-step instructions for completing two 12x12 scrapbook pages with each of the four layout kits. With The ScrapRoom’s “Flavors of the Month” Kit, you’ll enjoy the scrapbooking products that you crave, along with ideas and instructions to help you “get more pages done…” And, in order to make your scrapbooking experience with us truly special, we’re packaging a Gourmet Flavored Coffee Sampler packet with each month’s kit,the perfect companion to a box of scrapbooking treats!

Kareen is our featured artist today. We love how she has surrounded her darling black-and-white photo with beautiful patterns, contrast, and texture.

We are so glad you joined us, Kareen. Please grab our "featured" button below and wear it on your blog.

Here's another look at the sketch:

Please link up your layouts over in the sidebar by December 29 2016 to be in the running for one of our prizes! All prizes will be drawn randomly using Random.org to pick a number.

When linking your layouts, please make sure it is linked to the specific post your layout is in, not your blog as a whole as it can be hard for our team to find your layout, especially if you blog often. You can also link from any gallery including Facebook and Flickr. (Though we may not be able to comment in all forums.)

Feel free to combine this sketch challenge with other non-sketch challenges, such as colour challenges.

Please post a link back to Stuck?! Sketches on your blog entry for our challenge. We would also love for you to share the sketch.

Thank you for visiting us today. We hope our sketch inspires you. Be sure to show us what you've made because we love to see your work and hand out prizes.

Janice :-)
