Hello everyone! Wow, did we get a lot of entries in last week's sketch!! How awesome to see so much participation!! We love that! :)

We thought we'd try something new and start posting the three Featured Cards on Fridays, so we're here today to do just that. We had three of our Sugar Babies pick their favorite cards to share with you. Are you ready? Here they are....

Christine's Top Pick was Carol Longacre's lovely blue floral card. Ahhhh, looking at it is like a breath of warm, spring air!



Dawn's Top Pick was Denise Lawrence's sweet Bugaboo card. Oh my goodness, is that image ever cuuuute...and so beautifully colored.



Korin's Top Pick was Tracey Manderson's gorgeous Magnolia card. What a beautiful image and fabulous embellishing!



Thanks to everyone who played along. Next Friday we just might feature YOU......and if we do, not only will you get your moment in the spotlight, but you'll even get a cool badge for your blog to let everyone know you were featured here. :)

Have a fantastic day and we'll be back tomorrow with our newest sketch! See you then!
