retrosketches #26...

Good morning! We're back with another fabulous sketch for you! But first I'd like to thank all the players last week - your work was amazing! The winners for RS #24 were posted earlier, along with some new posting info - so be sure to go check that out!

I am so thrilled today to introduce this week's RetroSketch Guest Designer, Danielle Daws! I have the pleasure of working with her on a couple other teams, and she is not only a tremendously talented lady, but she's also sweet as pie! I loved the simplicity of this gorgeous card, and am so pleased we could use it as this week's sketch!

Here's Danielle's re-take...

And here's the DT's interpretations...

I am so sad that this is Lynn's last week with as as our first "Headliner". She has been so fabulous to work with and has created so many amazing cards! Please go by and give her some love & cyber hugs!

Hope you get a chance to play along!

retrosketches #24 / ROCKstar & SHOUTouts...

Good morning! Thanks so much for all the amazing entries - we are having a blast looking through them! You ladies are so so talented! And yes, we are still looking through them - so that brings me to a little announcement.

With the challenge ending so close to the weekend, it's difficult for us to finish up commenting and voting before the next challenge starts, so I will be extending the deadline to Friday nights at midnight to enter each challenge, we'll have more time to vote and especially comment and will announce the previous week's winners on the Friday before the next challenge. SO - that translates to: We're announcing RS #24 winners today, and next Friday we'll announce RS #25 winners, etc... Hope that's a solution everyone can live with. I really hate running out of time to comment, and I know you value comments, as we all do!

And now on to the REALLY important business.... please help me give a HUGE CONGRATS to this week's RetroSketch ROCKstar! Her card is beautiful and fun inside and out (literally) and oh so clever -

JOAN!!!

And here's a BIG CONGRATS to these amazing RetroSketch SHOUTouts....

  

  

  

In all honesty - we could have picked SO MANY more.... Tania, Christine, Emma, Tammy, Scarlett..... well, you get the idea! You ALL had such beautiful amazing cards, and we really do struggle each week because really everyone's cards are out of this world!

As usual you can click on the thumbnails to go see the full size cards  - and I hope you will!

Back in a few with the next challenge~
