Happy summer, friends! Donna here as this week's sketch designer for Sketch #744.
I'm bringing back the Polaroid, and I can't wait to see your ideas "captured" on your card.
Also, remember that the shape can be whatever you choose. Just have fun!

Winners for Sketch 743

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

                                 Mardi from Instagram


Well, it’s no secret that America had a pretty big party this past week. MarDi’s card is such a spectacular representation of that. It’s fun, festive, And was such a wonderful interpretation of the sketch. It caught my eye right away. 
 I was so happy that so many of you played along, because it may not have been the easiest or the most appealing sketch in the world, but you all really knocked it out out of the park! So many creative and pretty ideas! Thank you! 

Congratulations, MARDI! You are this week's Queen of Clean!

Join us tomorrow for a new sketch from Donna!

I loved looking at each card in the gallery and seeing how many different ways one sketch could be used. Jaydee's card, with its serious vacation vibes, stole my heart. It's sunny and happy, and the colors are gorgeous. What a fun card! Congratulations, Jaydee! You are this week's Queen of Clean!

Hey Everyone! Narelle here with this weeks sketch. As usual I had absolutely no plan or idea about a sketch for this challenge ahead of time as I'm not a planner.  I literally threw this sketch together at the last minute and came up with rectangles - the rest is up to you. Have fun with it!

  Congratulations, Alice! you are this week's Queen of Clean! I loved that you took my Sketch under-the-sea and used a smooshed piece from your collection for your sun - or is that the moon rising 
with all its wonderful 'craters?' 
Much appreciation to those of you who took my 'scene' in so many directions - all FABULOUS!
