Hello Fellow Crafters and Sketch Lovers!

It's time again for our Featured Spotlight Cards from last Saturday's sketch (SSS115). Thank you all for participating. We had a wonderful turnout with lots of fabulous cards, and I had a really tough time picking only 3 cards... but it had to be done... so here are the Top 3:

This card from Chupa caught my eyes because of the super cute mushroom image and the FABULOUS coloring job! It just jumps at you when you see it!

The next card for this week is from Femke. I love the sweet image and her pretty dress. I love when part of the image is cut out and popped up... just gives so much dimension to a card.

The last Spotlight card is from Nixe07-Moni. She used another sweet image and colored it with perfection. I also love the fabulous dies she used, the stitching... and the cheesecloth ribbon.

Congratulations Ladies! Please feel free to grab your badge below and add it to your blog sidebar. Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us! Hope we will see your creations again.

It's always hard to pick only 3 cards to feature. They are all fabulous, so keep playing along with us and show us your creations! You just might be our next Sweet Stop Spotlight!

Check back tomorrow for another fabulous sketch! You won't be disappointed!

SSS114-Spotlight Cards

Hello Fellow Crafters and Sketch Lovers!

It's time again for our Featured Spotlight Cards from last Saturday's sketch (SSS114). Thank you all for participating. We had a wonderful turnout with lots of fabulous cards.

Here are the Top 3:

Debby's card caught my eyes because of the fabulous dimensions. It is just so unique... looks amazing. She used a super cute image, lovely colors, and the embellishments are perfect.

As much as I love embellishments and pretty flowers, sometimes less is better. This card from Jen is just so pretty. It's clean and simple with great colors. Love the cute image... looks great in the oval. I also love how she matted every panel on white.

This pretty card from Bernadet is just awesome. I love that clock die-cut and the cute image sitting on it. Great take on the sketch... great colors... and cute butterflies... also love the easel fold.

Congratulations Ladies! Please feel free to grab your badge below and add it to your blog sidebar. Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us! Hope we will see your creations again.

It's always hard to pick only 3 cards to feature. They are all fabulous, so keep playing along with us! You just might be our next Sweet Stop Spotlight!

Check back tomorrow for another fabulous sketch! You won't be disappointed!

SSS113-Spotlight Cards and Winner

Hello Fellow Crafters and Sketch Lovers!

First of all, the winner of this week's Sketch with a Spin and a PRIZE challenge is entry 34.Kurlygirl. Congratulations!

Next are the Featured Spotlight Cards from last Saturday's sketch (SSS113). Thank you all for participating. The circle cards were all so pretty!

I loved Billie's card. The image is just hilerious in a good way. The coloring and papers are awesome and the cutting is perfect.

This lovely card is from Karli. I just loved the oriental feel to it from the cute image to the perfect colors. The little details of the dress look fabulous.

Mueppi's card is just so different, because instead of a circle, she used a slightly different shape that worked just as well. She used just the right embellishments.

Congratulations Ladies! Please feel free to grab your badge below and add it to your blog sidebar. Thank you for sharing your amazing work with us! Hope we will see your creations again.
