Top 2 Winners for ISSC25

 
 
Happy Sunday everyone! I'm recently back from a week's worth of camping and according to our Top 2 Winners for the ISSC25 sketch, I have fish on the brain! Don't believe me? Check it out *big cheesy grin inserted here*
 
Here are your Top 2 Winners:
 
 
 
This card caught my eye in a heartbeat! I adore the whimsical fishing lures and a few of them remind me of the ones from my Dad's tackle box that almost landed on the ocean floor when we took my kids fishing off the wharf this past weekend! I must admit that I'm a sucker for googlie eyes too and I can't help but think that these little guys are looking up at me and saying "Pick me, pick me" :D Such a fun card Jeanne!
 


I swear that I didn't intentionally set out to pick fish themed cards this week but LeAnne's was another brilliant creation! You guys are just so freaking talented that I have such a hard time picking the Top 2! LeAnne's card immediately caught my attention with her little fishy that looks like it's taking a giant leap of faith! I love that she set her fish swimming in a sea of polka dots! Fantastic card LeAnne!

Top 2 Winners for ISSC24

 
 
Happy Sunny Sunday everyone! We are back for another Top 2 Winner's post and this one is based on last week's ISSC24 sketch ! I was so impressed that so many of you took on our "Spotty" challenge and this week's winners weren't afraid to think outside the box a little :)

Here are your Top 2 Winners:
 
 
I'm completely in love with Savannah's thought bubble creation! I love that not only did she change up the shape, but used one that isn't used all that often :) She paired it up with text designer paper (brilliant) and added those sweet little hearts to complete her creation. Fantastic card Sav!



Regina, also thought of creative ways to use the sketch. Not only did she create her spots with the hexagons but changed the shape of her card to coincide with the honeycomb and bumble bee themed card. This card just oozes creativity! Thanks for sharing your sweet card with us Regina :D

Top 2 Winners for ISSC23


 Holy Smokes people! You sure did love last week's ISSC23 sketch! We had quite a few players and it took me forever to go around and comment on all of your fabulous entries! It was so nice to see what a great turn out we had!

There were so many awesome entries that once again it was a tough descision to pick just 2 winners. Let me assure you that the winning cards will certainly bring a smile to your face. Here are your Top 2 Winners:

  
Katie Skiff
Katie used such bold and fresh colours and even with all of her design elements her card is clean and simple and screams "FRESH". Honestly this card to me is like a burst of citrus on a parched palatte :D I adore this card Katie and I'm sure that everyone else will too :D


Arielle Gordon
Arielle created this fabulous and fun card by masking together stamps from MANY different stamp sets to create this get well pot of soup card! I just love the whole chicken in the pot *giggle* Oh and all of those lovely little twine, grommet and mini clip details didn't get past my eagle eye either *swoon*

Congratulations ladies! Please feel free to grab your blog badge by right clicking on it and saving it to your computer :)
