Wow, you all really out did yourselves with my challenge from last week. Thank you for taking an interest and creating such wonderful cards using the sketches I provided. A job well done by all because this was a very hard one to judge.

Starting at the top with 1st place winning $50 of new Hero Arts stamps + a 2008 catalog is Sarahjane4kids with her brilliant Holiday card. Not only did Sarah make this beautiful card with Mondays sketch, she made an entire fabulous ensemble that you can view here. I was awestruck by her take on the all the sketches, Congratulations Sarah!

Next on my list and coming in at 2nd place to win $25 of new Hero Arts stamps + a 2008 catalog is Mi Kasa with her delightful flowers from Tuesdays sketch. I loved her color combination and use of mixed polka dot type papers. Thanks Mi Kasa!

And finally, coming in with 3rd place to win $10 of new Hero Arts stamps + a 2008 catalog is Kristinaproffitt with her card. Kristina’s lines are crisp and her combination of pattern papers with card stock go together perfectly!

Sarah, Mi kasa and Kristina, please drop me a line in the Hero Blog Mail (located in the sidebar to the right) so I can get your goodies to you. Thanks so much for entering!

And now for some more eye candy that I just had to share with everyone. I only wish I could give away more gifts, but I can’t. So our Honorable Mentions go to the following.

Kelly Rasmussen for her take on Tuesdays sketch. Beautiful colors and interpretation of the layout.

Latrice Murphy for her cupcake card with Friday’s sketch, so yummy, the frosting looks good enough to eat!!

And last but certainly not least is Ashely M’s circle card that takes the sketch design elements to a whole new level. Love it!!!

Thanks once again everyone for entering the challenge. I hope you all had as much fun with the sketches as I did designing and sharing them with you and Adrienne . Please remember to enjoy the process of cardmaking while you learn and grow as an artist!
