I'm so amazed by all the beautiful cards in our gallery this week.  Your unique takes on the sketch exceeded any of my ideas on how to use it.  This bold red card really drew me in.  Something about the traditional colors with a modern vibe really wow'd me.

Winners For Sketch 707

 

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

Rochelle from Stamping Flair


Thank you to everyone who played with my sketch this past week! It is always such a joy to see your creativity and how you interpret the sketch. I loved looking at each of your beautiful creations. Rochelle‘s card really stood out to me because of her non-traditional colors and some of the fun elements in her background - like the Turtle Textures Embossing Folder and that fun paper. I loved those clean lines of the trees, but also, when you look closer, texture that she added to them with a stamp. An unexpected delight for Christmas!

Winners For Sketch 706!

 

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






What fun it was to look through the gallery this week! I loved seeing how many creative ways y'all found to use the focal circle image in this sketch. The card I kept coming back to was Bree's cute Halloween card. I love how she used the focal circle as a bright moon. This card is the perfect balance of spooky for me with the bats and haunted house, and cute with the adorable costumed critters. Such fun!
