Winners For Sketch 53


The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and Tui has chosen her Queen!

The Queen of Clean:

Vicki Burdick


This gorgeous creation of Vicki’s is one fallen beauty!  Her choice of colours, texture and patterned papers personify the season exquisitely, and the simple addition of the vintage brad and seam binding ribbon - a perfect execution of subtle elegance!   
Congratulations Vicki, you are my choice for Queen of Clean this week!

Winners For Sketch 51


The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and Cindy has chosen her Queen!





And the Queen of Clean:

Gina B.

I love the technique that Gina used for her focal point, which, according to her blog is the 'line art image technique'.  I love the way she used several colors on her stamped image, and how they perfectly coordinate with the beautiful papers she chose.  The burlap ribbon and orange rhinestones are a plus!  Very well done, Gina!

Congratulations, Gina!  You're the Queen of Clean this week!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for a special challenge to celebrate our One Year Anniversary!
