Winners for Sketch 723

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






It was such a treat to look at the wonderful projects in the gallery this week! I was amazed at all the creative ways you made the oval focus point work. Susan's DIY oval background blew me away. Such a clever way to include the shape and the ink blending adds such a nice, soft touch. The reminder that spring is around the corner gives me hope in this snowy weather up north. Congratulations, Susan. You are our Queen of Clean!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Jen B!

Winners For Sketch 722

 

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




I had so much fun browsing the gallery this week! Your creativity is amazing - I saw flowers, bunnies and bears, gears and kiwi fruit, paint brushes and sailboats, and so much more! Deb's card especially caught my eye becuase of her image on vellum on top of the stripes. I love the stripes peeking through yet everything is still so soft and peaceful. Congratulations, Deb.  You are our Queen of Clean!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Verena!

Happy new FMS day! It's Kim and it's my week to bring you the sketch. I put this together with the idea of sun rays but a quick scroll through the inspiration from the design team and you'll see all of the fabulously creative ways in which the sketch was used! I know as I look through the gallery this week, I will find even more inspiration. Enjoy!
