We're glad that many of you liked our sketch last week. Hope you'll like this week as well! How about something simpler and something you can use your scraps with? Make it as busy looking as you want by adding additional embellishments!
One thing we like doing aside from creating sketches of course is featuring talented new artists week after week, getting to know them a little better and even seeing those lovely faces behind the artsy crafty cards they create! This week is no exception of course. Many of you have known her as Chupa in the blogging world. Today, we'd like to welcome....

Getting to know Chupa a little better!
Hello from Down Under!! My name is Iwona, but they call me Chupa. I'm a wife to the most wonderful man, and a mum to a six weeks old cutie called Zuzia. I've been cardmaking since July this year, and from the very beginning I could call myself an addict - if only I had unlimited time and money to spend on supplies :) I'm overjoyed and honoured to join the super talented team for this week, I wish you all fun with this lovely sketch!
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity, wish you all a great week!
