Come and visit the Recreational Center of the Digi Scrap Campus (http://www.doitdigi.com/dsc/forum/index.php). This week`s challenges include...

Sketch it (http://www.doitdigi.com/dsc/forum/index.php?topic=133.0):

Use this SKETCH to spark your inspiration. No limitation on what you can use, and no template to squeeze in. Use it only as a starting point, then modify your page to your liking. Add elements if you want, add layers if you want. Do what you want.
