Hi gang!! Are you guys still with me? Thank you all for your patience while I took a little break from Sketchy Thursdays. It was a good break for me. Now that I'm at home I need to form a new routine for my days. This week has been a practice run and so far it's not going as well as I'd hoped. Although wearing sweats every day does have it's perks!
So it's the first sketch for the new year. I hope it's a good one..... LOL!
Well it better be, cause I'm playing along too this week. So here we go....
And here's mine.... I couldn't resist inking these kissing cuppies up. I tried to keep it simple with a little flair.
I used some of my holiday cash (thanks honey!!) to pick up a little something the other day. I broke down and splurged on a Copic airbrush starter set. Not a bad value for $29.95 to wet your appetite. I'll admit it does take some practice and is much easier than sponging!!
I hope you will play along with me. I'm calling out to all you gals now. Lindsay, Michele H., Amanda, Carol, Nancy..... you know who you are. Haven't see you in awhile. And the 'crew' misses you!!!
As always I'll choose the most clever, creative, and cute creation from the submissions this week to be the next Sketch Artist. Your design will also be featured on my blog next week!
You have until next Wed. 1/13 to play along. When uploading to SCS and PCP or or your blog please use keyword ESS65 for the challenge.
Wishing the rest of your day is WONDERFUL!!!
Great sketch Tracy! One of my New Year's resolutions is to participate in more challenges, so I'll do my best to do this one!

Good to have Sketchy Thursday back Tracy! Looking forward to making some cards this year with your sketches. Love your card - that airbrushing is cool (and one can never go wrong with the cuppies - did you see the new releases today? Cute!)

Tracy, so happy you're BACK!!! Love your card, too! Those cute little cuppies have inspired me to perhaps pull out some of my TE stamps for this sketch! Hope your routine at home gets better; change is always a challenge....but the sweats are a bonus!!!! And if you ever need a little break from life at home....come up and visit me and we'll go to FORKS! LOL!
