How do I create a sketch?

[MacKenzie]

I would like to post a weekly sketch challenge on my blog and was wondering how to create one. Is there a specific program or template that is used?

MacKenzie! How funny! I JUST asked this same question yesterday of the Featured Stamper, "SparkleGirl" (Silke.) Here is what she emailed me...

"I dont know how to create it from scratch on the
computer, but all you need to do is click on the
picture and save it to your fav or any other file and
when you are ready to edit it onto your blog find the
file you have saved it under and that's it...."

I haven't tried it yet but plan to right now. Hope it works and hope that helps you as well.

Anyone else have some tips for us wannabe sketch offerers?

There are blank templates in the SC master thread that you can start with. These are set to actual card size and will print out on most computers this way. I think they are in post number four.

If by chance you use an Adobe program I may be able to give you some pointers. I did this last week but her version is newer than mine so I didn't have every answer for her.

OH great question and answer Roxie. I was actually wondering about this myself.

Do you have Paint on your computer (it's probably under accessories)? I've made some in there. You can draw the sketches with the squares and circles.
