When you're paper crafting and you draw a blank what motivates you to create? Over the years, I've found the best way for me to get my mojo going is to start with some kind of challenge. It doesn't matter which paper crafting group, and there are many, or whether its a sketch, a color, or a theme challenge. What matters is I've looked at something that has motivated me to move to my craft desk and begin creating.
So today, in line with my 2023 New Year's Resolution to complete at least one sketch challenge a week, I've taking my inspiration from the Freshly Made Sketches #568 challenge hosted by Judy.
Here's the Challenge Sketch:
