DT Call and Challenge #05 - Sketch

Good morning all! It's March already - spring should be here soon, although there's not much sign of it here in Michigan. There's still lots of snow on the ground along with arctic like temperatures! Never mind, I've some news that I hope will make you want to stay in your nice warm craft room and play! You may have noticed that we have lost a few team members recently. Sadly, Jacqueline of Deezinesart, who started this challenge in July 2013 has also had to step down. We miss you ladies.

So we need to get some new members and we're having
