We are so excited to visit you and to see what YOU create with our sketch!

Hello, it's Amy here, and this week I have the privilege and pleasure of being the hostess.  That means I get to design the sketch.  I decided to do something a little different for me and design a sketch with a horizontal orientation.  This one also has some fun layers, but my aim was to keep it clean.  I am looking forward to seeing what you all create with it!  As you can see below, the design team has created some fabulous cards for your inspiration.  I hope you have fun with the sketch!
We have a few simple rules to keep things fun and fair for all of our players:
  1. Please use any crafting product you would like to use.
  2. Feel free to combine our sketch with up to THREE other challenges, except another sketch challenge.

Winners For Sketch 293!

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


The Queen of Clean: Cindy at Encre, papier, ciseaux


You all handled the curve I threw at you last week wonderfully well!  Cindy's idea to flip the sketch and turn the curve into a swimming pool was inspired and her bright colours, fabulous colouring and sweet images won my vote this week.  Congrats, Cindy!

Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Amy!

Hi, it's Karren here and this week it's my turn to be hostess and provide the sketch.  I did try and stay away from my usual CAS style and came up with what is, to me, a more challenging sketch.  As you can see from the gorgeous samples from the design team below, you don't have to have the exact same elements as the sketch, so go forth and have some fun!

Winners For Sketch 292!

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


The King of Clean: Justin at JK Cards




Thanks so very much to everyone who played along with us this week!  I could have picked so many Queens among all these amazing entries. But I have to choose only one, and this week, it's a king.  Justin's card is absolutely stunning, so simple and yet, so striking. There are very few elements but every single one of them is just perfect!  Congratulations Justin!  You are the King of Clean!

Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Karren!

Winners For Sketch 290!

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


The Queen of Clean: Deanne at Three Trees Paper



Thank you to everybody who played along with the sketch.  It is so amazing to see how many directions you all take the same sketch!  I fell in love with Deanne's ranunculus.  I love the soft faded color on the flower and the leaves.  It works perfectly with the ombre background and the hint of pattern. Adding the banner in vellum is beautiful look.  Congratulations Deanne!  You are the Queen of Clean!

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