Winners For Sketch 238!

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


The Queen of Clean: Jacquie from What did I do today?



It's always so many fun to look through the entire gallery. I'm always amazed how the same sketch can be made cute or elegant, soft or bold, childish or loving or sympathetic.  This week, I fell in love with Jacquie's card. I love the mix of dies, textures and colors. The black, white and red pop on the kraft, and the whole grouping is softened by the felt and the pearls. Congratulations, Jacquie, you are the Queen of Clean! 



Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Cindy Hall!

Happy FMS Sketch day everyone!!  It's Kim with this week's sketch.  My very favorite thing to do on my cards is little groupings of images and dies.  It's a great way to add detail and interest but still keep lots of fresh, open space on a card.  Since I love it, I decided to put it into a sketch and have the inspiration of seeing what you all do with it.  Have fun!

The Queen of Clean: Lee Ann from Greyt Paper Crafts

What an amazing gallery this week! I enjoyed visiting everyone's sites - so much creativity is definitely inspiring! It was tough picking just one! I chose Lee Ann's card - such a work of art! Stamping and coloring an image on newsprint adds a fresh new look to the design. The colors are wonderful and oh so vibrant! Her card is original and eye-catching! Congratulations, Lee Ann, you are the Queen of Clean!

Winners For Sketch 235!

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


The Queen of Clean:  Tammy Hershberger from Stamp Happy

The gallery was just full of beautiful cards this week and I want to thank everyone who played along with my sketch.  It was so fun to see lots of color, flowers, watercolors, big sentiments, and so much more in the gallery.  I've chosen Tammy's card as my favorite because I love the linen textured background she's created and the tulips are a lovely splash of color for her neutral color scheme.  The bold die cut sentiment finishes the card off perfectly.  Congratulations, Tammy, you are the Queen of Clean! 


Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Rita!

Hello!  It's Jen Mitchell here reporting for duty as your sketch hostess this week.  The sketch is a bit clean and simple and perhaps lends itself to those big sentiments that are so popular right now.  You decide!  I can't wait to see how the gallery looks with your interpretations of this sketch!

The Queen of Clean:  Audrey from Audrey's Workshops



So many beautiful projects this week with the sketch.  I loved the coloring, the pretty dsp choices, and your lovely twists on the sketch.  For those who know me, you already know that I love clean cards with lots of white space.  This card just jumped out of the gallery for me.  It is clean perfection!  Those dies and that little pop of color make this so elegant.  Congratulations, Audrey, you are the Queen of Clean! 



Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Jen Mitchell!
