Winners For Sketch 704

 The Clean Team has chosen their Princesses for you this week and Michele has chosen the Queen: 




Thanks so much to everyone who played along with my sketch this week.  SO many wonderful interpretations- so many cards to love!  You made picking just one very difficult for me - and I thank you for that!  SmilynStef's lovely pumpkin-colored leaves with their touches of gold really speaks to my love of Fall and her choice of a kraft card base brought it all home. Congrats, Stef! You are this week's Queen of Clean!

Thanks so much to everyone who played along with my sketch this week.  The gallery was gorgeous!  Nora's bold, graphic card caught my eye this week.  The mix of the scripty text behind the bold, bright leaf is such a wonderful contrast. Congrats, Nora! You are this week's Queen of Clean!

What an amazing gallery of cards we had this week!  I can't get over how many different themes and styles we had!  You all rocked the sketch and I loved seeing each and every card!  Donna's big, bold leaves jumped out at me!  I love fall and all things fall coloured or leaf related make my heart skip a beat!  I love that big sentiment as well!  Congrats Donna, you are our Queen of Clean!
