Winners For Sketch 259!

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


The Queen of Clean: Emily from Chickmooplusduck



What an amazing gallery this week!  There were over 100 beautiful entries -  I loved seeing all that creativity! Emily's sweet and simple Christmas card caught my eye with its holiday colors and adorable Santa Mouse! Her coloring is spot on and using a row of trees as an element of the sketch is very clever! Congratulations, Emily, you are the Queen of Clean!



Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Kim!

Winners for Sketch 258

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


The Queen of Clean: Jan from Scrapbooking Stuff




It looks like you guys weren't intimidated by those layers and banners at all!  So many beautiful cards in the gallery this week. Thank you so much for playing along with us.  For this week's winner I just had to go with Jan.  Her card is stunning.  I'm usually not a fan of pink, but she might have turned me around with this beauty.  The contrast of the pink and black is just amazing!  Congratulations, Jan, you are the Queen of Clean!





Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Linda!

Winners For Sketch 257!

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


The Queen of Clean: Teresa from Paperie Blooms


Thanks to everyone who joined us in the gallery this week.  It's always a treat to meander around the gallery and see how the sketch comes to life in your hands!  This week I chose this card from Teresa as my winner.  Since I'm watercolor-challenged I was really drawn to her splashy background, plus that glittery butterfly spoke to me.  I love how she made it stand out by adding some ink below its wings.  Congratulations, Teresa, you are the Queen of Clean!



Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Rita!
