Winners for Sketch 729

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



It's so fun to see how one simple sketch can be used in so many different ways! Browsing the gallery was a delight this week. I chose Marcia's card as I loved how she created the oval using a mask, and I think her coloring is beautiful.  Congrats Marcia - you are this week's Queen of Clean!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Judy!

Winners for Sketch 727

To our dear crafty friends, something has gone terribly wrong with our Linky tool this week and many of your cards were dropped from our gallery.  Sometimes technology can be so frustrating and have unintended results. Thank you for the notes you left us telling about the problem.  We felt we should skip choosing our team favorites and just let you know that ALL of you are amazing.  Every week, we love what you share!  We are hoping to have this repaired for next week so we can continue on as usual.  Thanks so much for your understanding. 


Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Narelle!

Winners for Sketch 726

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

Laurie from Created by Laurie



A big thank you to everyone who took some time to play along with my sketch.  I loved seeing all the tags, and variations of tags, in the gallery.  I've been on a bit of a vintage kick in my card-making lately, so Laurie's gorgeous, clean card with a vintage feel really caught my eye!  The torn patterned paper with the texture behind work so beautifully together. Congratulations, Laurie, you are this week's Queen of Clean. 

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Michele!

Sketch #726 A Sketch by Karren

Hi, it's Karren here and I am your sketch hostess this week.  I love the look of tags on cards but very rarely remember to actually use a tag element on my cards. So I selfishly designed this sketch to force me to break out the tag dies.  Of course, you don't have to use a tag - anything similar would work.  Most of all we just want you to have some fun, crafty time!
