Winners For Sketch 70

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


The Queen of Clean:  Rebecca of Mellymoo Papercrafts
Thanks to everyone who participated in the challenge this week!  We ended up a whopping 146 entries, so I guess more than a few people liked my sketch. :)  Picking just one winner was so hard! After much debate, I had to go with Rebecca's beautiful creation!  Our challenge is all about clean and fresh and she totally nailed both of those.  I love the ledger and the patterns on the flower and leaves.  The bit of bling from the rhinestones was the perfect finishing touch!  Congrats, Rebecca, on being the Queen of Clean this week!  


Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new challenge from Linda Callahan!

Winners For Sketch 67

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


The Queen of Clean:  Shannon Jaramillo of EZPeasy Cards


Wow, what a week!  I can tell that many of you, like me, were happy to get back into your craft rooms and create!!  All of the cards simply amazed me and it was such fun to see the variety of styles and twists on the sketch.

This lovely Valentine's card just captured my heart, so to speak.  First, the color scheme is fantastic.  Then, there are all the little details.  That pretty brad with a coordinating heart out of DSP, the embossed scallop and the rhinestones all create such fabulous texture.  This all adds up to the perfect Valentine for anyone on your list.  Congratulations, Shannon, on being the Queen of Clean!!
