Hi there everyone! I hope you are well.
I know I always say this, but boy oh boy is it SOOOO hard to choose the winners each fortnight. The level of work is amazing. It is near impossible to pick just a few entries as winners. All of us find it VERY VERY hard and hope that you do not get discouraged and continue to join us in future challenges!
All of us at Once Upon A..Sketch are just so happy with the amount of people we meet through the challenges, the new blogs we discover and the inspiration we gather from all of you. We hope you are all having a fun time, just as we all are.
So...who is our winner this time?
Guess what? THERE ARE 3! YES!! The votes from the Design Team came back and there were 3 people on the same points...So what to do? Well I think they are all deserving and I cannot take away the win from anyone. SO all you 3 are invited back in July as our Guest Designers. You all deserve this as I do not think its fair to choose just one of when you were all on the same points...
So without further delay lets all congratulate these 3 amazing artists..
CONGRATULATIONS girls. Your work is incredible and we are so pleased you shared your talents here with us. As you know there was only 1 prize this month, so I randomly chose 1 winner amongst you 3 to receive ..

Do you see what I mean when I say that we have a VERY tough job of working out the winners?
But before I go today I would love to say a HUGE HELLO to the AMAZING and SUPER TALENTED girls of Japan, who really displayed some incredible work in the last challenge. We ALL know the devastation that Japan and its people suffered and continue to suffer on a daily basis. I dont know if any of these girls were affected by the natural disasters not long ago, but to have to live every day knowing your people are suffering is just terrible for your spirit. To see you all active in the scrapping world and taking part in challenges is just so inspiring! Please click on their names to be directed to their blogs. I am certain you will be inspired by their work and they would love to hear from you!
Welcome to our blog...

I love them and this sketch blog!!!!
Such a high standard & such exceptional work - truly remarkable what people can do when given an incentive - if only other challenge sites could put in the same amount of effort the experience would be so much more enjoyable for everyone. Yes for years I have marvelled at the talent in the East & the Japanese are fantastic scrappers - the couple we spoke about are particularly talented & Maiko's work here is exceptional - plus our very first winner too! Girls with flair for sure...
ReplyDeleteOhhh! so much gorgeous eye candy!!! I just want to sit and linger over each and every one of them! Congrats to all these talented ladies!! (a special nod to my dear friend Jeni, ....told ya that one was special!!) xx ....Romy, you know I adore your page too! xx
