Winners For Sketch 500

 

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

The Queen of Clean: Carol from Saw It. Had to Make It.


The gallery for our 500th sketch this week was amazing.....and then some!  Wow I had a tough decision to make!  Since we are in our final days of summer where I live I was drawn to Carol's beach scene.  I love that she designed a bird's eye view of the beach.  The water is blended beautifully to the shore. The strip of foam is perfect and adds texture. A day at the beach is the best way to end summer!  Congratulations Carol, you are this week's Queen of Clean!

Our winners of the prizes have been randomly chosen from those who joined the gallery this week.  We will be contacting you via the information you give in the link tool but you can also contact us (email: jentimko at gmail dot com).  You will have 5 days to respond or we will choose a different recipient.  So make sure you come back next week to check!

Congratulations to you all! We are so grateful to these amazing sponsors for their support and generosity!  

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch by Kim!

Winners For Sketch 497

 

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

The Queen of Clean: Lucie from LucieG Cards



It was so inspiring to go through the gallery this week and see how you used the sketch in such different ways!  Thanks so much to each of you for playing along. Lucie's bright red poppy created a fabulous vertical line and I love the way she wove the stem through the yellow horizontal strips. And I love that the strips were cut from check and polka dot designer papers! Congratulations Lucie, you are this week's Queen of Clean!
