DT Sketchy Colors - Challenge #102: Sketch

Happy Sunday (again) Folks!

Today Sketchy Colors are ready with our Challenge #102, and Marianne has once again made a great sketch for us all to play with!

My teamies have made some pretty amazing projects again, using this week's sketch, and Bildmålarna is sponsoring us with an awesomely cute price, so you better go check out the SC Challenge Blog :)

For my project using this sketch, I've made a Lunch Box for Christmas, and that makes it my 2nd Christmas project this month :)

Once again, I've used one of the cute Bildmålarna images, that were released before Christmas, and coloured her with Distress Ink in winter colours!
