Whether it starts with a sketch I have stumbled across or one that I have come up with myself, it always seems to be the best way for me to start the creative process. The sketch below I put together from ideas that have caught my eye and I mashed them together with some ideas of my own.

Thus begins the creative process.

Gotta love that!

Happy Scrappin'!!
