Creative Scrappers, my favourite ever sketch blog, is closing at the end of February after 5 years. 
For the month of February only, they are selling their e-book of sketches 1-100 for $5.
You can also download sketches 1-100 and 100-200 from their blog creativescrappers.blogspot.com for free, so there must be extra stuff in the e-book if they are charging for it.
Anyway, after Gwynn's post about someone else charging crazy money for 25 sketches, I thought you'd be interested.

This is one of the places I go as well! I purchased the eBook a while back, and for $5 it's a good price.

Do you know if they are closing the blog? or if it is just going to no longer be new posts?

Ah, I didn't mean that - sorry! I meant they aren't doing any more posts or challenges. They will keep the blog up at least for the time being. Hopefully after a break they'll come back and start it up again. 
I've downloaded everything just in case. I love their sketches.

There are Pages up the top of the blog saying Download Sketches 1-100 and 100-200. There's a post hidden in the depths which I could dig out for you if you really wanted for 200-225.

Ok....that can't be available on the iPad version perhaps..... Will have to look in the PC. Have bought the book anyway.....so that's got me started, might print it and bind it, so it's available in hard copy.

Huh?  Which one?
So the book contains the challenge submissions as well then? I might have to buy it just for that!
