Winners For Sketch 124!

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and our hostess Karren has chosen the Queen!  


The Queen of CleanAngela Maine

Once again, you all made it difficult to pick a winner, but Angela's card really stood out to me.  Her idea to use the three panels as pickets for a fence was genius and those flowers are just beautiful!  Congrats Angela!




Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Narelle!

Hi, it's Karren here and this is my first week to hostess!  I hope you like my sketch.  I've gone square this week - but this sketch will adapt easily to a rectangle so feel free to choose either shape.  Have fun with the sketch.  I'm looking forward to seeing the gallery fill up with more gorgeous cards!  Check out the fantastic inspiration from the Design Team.


We all just loved the gallery last week!  Thanks to all who played along.  This week Karren has brought you a fun challenge.  The triptych of panels can be the base of your design or the perfect place for your stamping.  This is Karren's first sketch with us and we think it is fabulous!!  We can't wait to see what you create!

Winners For Sketch 123!

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and our hostess Jennifer has chosen the Queen!  


The Queen of Clean: Allie Kostiuk

With all of the snow everywhere, one would think I'd be tired of it.  But when it comes in a card as pretty as this, who can resist the snowflakes?  The kraft with the white, the pretty twine and the bit of bling at the centers.  All are perfect for this winter card!  Congratulations Queen Allie!




Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Karren!

Jen B here this week!  I'm so excited to be your hostess!  I wanted to create a sketch for you with lots of little circles - though they don't have to be circles!!!  I can't wait to see what you come up with!  Let those creative juices flow!  We had so many entries last week, let's see if we can top that this week!

Winners For Sketch 122!

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and our hostess Cindy has chosen the King!  


The King of Clean: Brian King
Perfect Pennants, Stampin' Up!, Brian King, FMS122

Decisions, decisions, decisions.  Thanks to all of you for playing along with our sketch challenge this week and for making my job to pick a King or Queen so difficult!  Lesley Croghan created this blog to show everyone that Clean and Simple does not have to be boring, and I think Brian King's creation this week does exactly that.  It's all in the details... great colors/papers, and fabulous sentiment in a fun font and some extra tweaks with linen thread and candy dots all add up to one great card!  Congrats, Brian!  You're my pick for King of Clean!   




Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Jennifer Brum!
