SKETCH SAVVY COLUMN CALL
This is your chance to be a part of one of our most popular columns. Take a look at our sketch here, and use it as a springboard for your own design. Then send your project our way for consideration. Please keep seasonality in mind. And feel free to make this sketch your own. Turn it, adjust it, and adapt it to your unique creative style. Or follow it directly. We welcome all approaches and can’t wait to see your interpretations!

If your work is accepted for publication, you will receive a copy of the issue, as well as a box of crafting supplies provided by our generous industry partners.
Thank you for submitting! We’re always inspired by your ideas and can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on.

Wondering how to submit the projects. Are pictures allowed or do the originals need to be mailed in?
