Hey Everyone - it's Narelle here! I've created a simple sketch for you that I hope you like.  I've gone with a Christmas card (as have a few of the DT girls) because Christmas is just around the corner and I'm scrambling to get enough cards made.  But I can totally see a non-Christmas cards too that can be made with this sketch. Can't wait to see what you create!

Winners For Sketch 264!

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and our hostess Karren has chosen the Queen!


The Queen of Clean:  Jane

There was a wonderful variety of cards in the gallery this week, with a lot of focus on Christmas, so I guess I'm not the only one scrambling to get Christmas cards finished :)  I chose Jane's card because of the beautiful white space and the pops of bright color.  The circles tucked under the scalloped layer are also a very cool look!

 Congratulations, Jane, you are the Queen of Clean!






Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Narelle!

Winners For Sketch 261!

The Clean Team has chosen the Princesses for you this week and our hostess Cindy has chosen the Queen!


The Queen of Clean: Dawn Easton


What a fabulous gallery this week!  You all outdid yourselves and made it really difficult to choose a Queen or King. I especially love looking at the gallery this time of year, with the beautiful blend of fall and holiday cards.  It's so much fun!  The card that captured me is by Dawn Easton and it is so fabulously clean and fresh, with cool colors and crystal clear images. Dawn made an adorable snow scene with lots pieces and layers, all perfectly orchestrated.  The sentiment and stitching are definite pluses for me.

 Congratulations, Dawn, you are the Queen of Clean!



Please come back tomorrow for a new sketch from Jen Brum!
