Winners For Sketch 78

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and Jen has chosen her Queen!


The Queen of Clean:  Allyson of Laughadaisy

Thanks to everyone who joined us in gallery!  We are all constantly amazed at the beautiful projects that you share with us and you make it so tough to choose our faves!  This week, I loved Allyson's fun take on the sketch.  The lacy trim and pretty ribbon make a lovely frame for the embossed layer.  But the focal point she created with the big letters and glittery heart just steal the show!  Congratulations Allyson on being my pick for Queen of Clean this week!


Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new challenge from Rita!

We are so excited to visit your blog and to see what YOU create with our sketch!

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Jennifer T. here with the our new sketch!  Thanks to all of you for your kind comments on our new look and for all the amazing entries in last week's challenge.  The team had such a great time admiring all your beautiful work!  I designed this sketch with a couple of things in mind.  First, I left a place for you to show off some pretty prints and second, I thought the smaller rectangle was a great place for some stamping.  As usual, the design team has outdone themselves with their inspiration and I can't wait to see your interpretation!

A gentle reminder about the word verification.  Our designers love commenting on your work but word verification make it hard to get to everyone's cards.  We have instructions to help you turn it off under our Word Verification Info tab.  It defaults to on so please check to make sure it is off.  The whole team thanks you!

Winners For Sketch 76

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and Linda has chosen her Queen!


The Queen of Clean:  Christine of Das Kartenchaos


I am overwhelmed by the submissions this week.  So many wonderful cards, so hard to choose just one Queen.  In the end, I chose Christine's card - a card that really captured my attention.  I love the colorful simplicity and clean lines on this card and I love how she used the same patterned paper for the popped up circles as she used for the card base.  It really ties it all together.  Congratulations Christine on being my pick for Queen of Clean this week!



Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new challenge from Jen Timko!
