We're starting off 2014 on a creativity high with the

30 day sketchbook challenge!!!

The summer of 2013 was the first 30 day challenge here at l.i.d! Even though it was summer break, and we were on our annual family vacation and had limited internet access, I managed to sketch, colour, paint and share daily here on l.i.d. and via social media.

I wasn't alone on that challenge, I had a few amazingly talented people join along, who shared their creativity, who offered encouragement to one another and who inspired me to post daily!!  To see my 30 days of sketches and a link to a few of these fabulous people, click here.

Now with the holiday rush coming to a close and with a start of a new year

what better way to open 2014 than with a new challenge!?!!

I invite you to join in the next the 30 Day Sketchbook Challenge!

Here are the rules!

1. There are no RULEs!!

2. WHO? Anyone can join.

3. WHAT? Each day you will; draw, sketch, paint and share, using the tools, medium, and technology of your choice!!!  Pick up a pencil, paint brush, stylus and/or your Wacom tablet.  Draw words, geometric shapes, doodles or even mini works of art!! Be free, play and don't limit yourself!!

4. WHERE? Post your work of art daily on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and even on your blog using the hashtag #30sketch.

5. WHEN? We begin New Year's Day.  Hangover or not. Traveling or not. We start then.  What if you miss a day?! Who cares?!! No-one.  My goal was to not miss a day, but life happens and this is a fun, creative, experience to encourage you to take time daily to play.  That's it!

6. WHY? Creativity inspires- period!! Creativity inspires thought, emotion, ideas, and pushes you out of your box!!

ARE YOU IN?!!
