Winners For Sketch 233!

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


The Queen of Clean:  Andrea from Wee Blue Swirls


It was so much fun to look through the gallery this week and see so many different interpretations of the sketch.  I was drawn to Andrea's beautiful card with the fun doodle-style flowers and leaves and beautiful bright colors.  Her coloring is superb and I love that fun, chevron print dsp.  Congrats, Andrea, you are the Queen of Clean!

Hello, everyone!  It's Amy here, and I have the privilege and pleasure of being the hostess this week.  I have really been loving collage-style stamping lately, so this sketch was an easy one for me to design.  I am excited to see what you do with it!  And as usual, the design team has created some fabulous and diverse cards for your inspiration.

Winners For Sketch 232!

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


The King of Clean:  Justin from JK Cards


Thanks to everyone who played along and made my sketch look good! I've chosen Justin's card this week as our winner.  I love the all-white background as it really shows off those fabulous feathers. The first word of I thought of when I saw his card was "classy".  His smattering of rhinestones are perfectly matched in tone and perfectly placed on his card.  Congrats, Justin you are the King of Clean!  


Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Amy!

Winners For Sketch 231!

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


The Queen of Clean:  Shawna from The Grand Stampede

Thanks to everyone who tackled my sketch this week!  You all made the gallery look fabulous!  My pick for Queen of Clean goes to Shawna who used the sketch in a wonderfully unique way, centering the focus on the right hand side of the card and making great use of the rule of thirds in her layout.  Her ombre panel and those gorgeous flowers are so striking!  Congrats, Shawna!

Hi, it's Karren here and I have the pleasure of being sketch hostess this week.  You blew us away last week with your fabulous cards and I'm interested to see what you all make of my sketch this week.  It's not quite as CAS as I usually make my sketches but it's a good opportunity to get out those scraps of patterned paper!  Have fun!

The Queen of Clean:  Lisa from Bellalistona



A huge thank you to all of this week's participants!  You guys did an amazing job at coming up with some incredible designs!  The gallery was full of beautiful cards!  Lisa's card caught my eye this week.  I love the shark on her card and the little clear droplets are the perfect bubbles!  Her angled banner tied it all together so nicely! Congrats, Lisa!  You're my pick for the Queen of Clean!


Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Karren!
