CSSC #9 WINNERS

Thanks to everyone who played my last sketch challenge. 

Note: I've decided to update my challenge rules to allow links to up to five challenges instead of three. I've seen too many awesome cards that went over three links. I only have a limit because some people link to 75 challenges (yes, I've seen it). Just think how many cards you could make in the time it takes you to link to that many link lists! 

Here are my winners:

The "Top Cat" goes to Lee Ann with this entry:

There's something about the colors, and that mouse! Great blending, too!

The runners-up are Cat:

Great coloring, and I like the narrow strip of gold where the orange and white meet.

and Chris:

Love the tea pot and the textured card front, and those are great feminine papers.

Congratulations, ladies! Feel free to grab your badge from the CSSC Rules & Badges page, and display it proudly on your blog. You've earned it!

And Lee Ann, please contact me (email in the right side bar), to claim your prize!

I'll be back on the first with a new sketch!

Thanks, again, for your support! xo

CSSC #7 WINNERS

Thanks to all who played my seventh challenge.

Here are my winners for the August challenge:

The winner is Mary Dawn:

Sorry it's a little off. Instagram is not save-as friendly, and their embed function
can't be sized without a lot of angst. I don't need angst, so you get a screen shot. Sorry, MD.  

I love how she used the flower as the vertical element. 

The two runners-up are Linda:

Cute image, and you know I'm a sucker for blue & green. :) Did you see she popped up the book's spine? Nice!

And Patricia:

Love the mix of papers. 

Congratulations, ladies! Feel free to grab your badge from the CSSC Rules & Badges page, and display it proudly on your blog. You've earned it!

And Mary Dawn, please contact me (email in the right side bar), to claim your prize!

Note: I've updated the rules to include a statement that you must claim your prize within 10 days, or forfeit.

I'll be back on the first with a new sketch!

CSSC #6 WINNERS

Thanks to all who played my sixth challenge. There were some really creative entries!

Here are my winners for the July challenge:

The winner is Libby with this fabulous card:

I love the bright colors, and that she stamped her diagonal design.

And the two honorable mentions are Cat:

Awesome coloring, and I like the contrast of the black stripes.

and Annie:

A simple piece of patterned paper for the diagonal element. And I secretly love that she fussy-cut the bottom half of the flower because of a smudge. :)

Congratulations, ladies! Feel free to grab your badge from the CSSC Rules & Badges page, and display it proudly on your blog. You've earned it!

And Libby, please contact me (email in the right side bar), to claim your prize!

CSSC #5 WINNERS

Thank you to all who played my fifth sketch. And good luck to those who linked up on both this blog and the Little Tangles blog to double your chances to win!

I do apologize I didn't change my link-up end date to match the Little Tangles end date. I hope none of you who got tangled in that web (see what I just did there?) are too disappointed. Coordinating across blog schedules can be challenging!!!

So, without further ado, here is my winner for June's challenge: Lorelle, with this card:

Sorry about the quality of the image - my fault. Flickr and I are not on speaking terms.

I was immediately struck by the colors she used, and the stamping of the very graphic triangles that were then showcased through circles. Just love it.


And the two honorable mentions are: Anita:

What's not to love about these summery colors? And her blog name is the cutest!

and Barb:

I was impressed at how Barb flipped the sketch. Also, that she figured out a way to use those four-stamp trees-of-all-seasons sets we all have (or had, *ahem*) and make it look good. Her coloring isn't too bad, either! :)

Congratulations, ladies! Feel free to grab your badge from the CSSC Rules & Badges page, and display it proudly on your blog. You've earned it!

The Little Tangles blog posts their winners on the 1st, so make sure to stop back there to see if you've won. 

And Lorelle, please email me (link on the right) so I can hook you up with the Little Tangles Prize Patrol! 

I'll be back on the first with a new sketch!

Thanks, again, for your support! xo

CSSC #2: WINNERS

THANK YOU to all who played my second sketch challenge! I continue to be humbled by your support. xoxo

A lot of people flipped and flopped the sketch this month, which I love, and I just realized my top picks all changed up the sketch a bit. Please know this is NOT a requirement for winning; it just happened this time.

Without further ado, the winner of CSSC #2 is ... Lindsey, who entered this card:

I liked the bright colors and the slightly snarky sentiment. :)

And the two runners-up are:

Donna

I liked the frame around the ship, the distressing, and the anchor. I admire people who can make a nice distressed card. Mine mostly look dirty.

Kathe

I liked the colors (I'm a sucker for blue + green), the masking, and that she even considered using this card for a class project. :)

Congratulations, ladies! Feel free to grab your badge from the CSSC Rules & Badges page, and display it proudly on your blog. You've earned it!

And Lindsey, please email me (link on the right) to select your ink colors!

I'll be back on the first (no foolin') with a new sketch!

Thanks, again, for your support! xo

CSSC #1 - WINNERS!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to all who played my first sketch challenge! The number of entries blew me away, and I am humbled by your support. xoxo

I loved all of the entries, but I don't have enough duplicate inks to go around, so whittle it down, I must.

The first ever WINNER of the Crooked Stamper Sketch Challenge is ...

KT Fit Kitty, with this card:

There's just something about those tigers that pulled at my heart strings. What can I say?

And our two runners-up are:

Lynn

I loved the masked cloud background panel as well as the patterned paper dinosaur slopping over it.

Cat

I love the texture and the tone-on-tone stripes of this one.

Congratulations, ladies! Feel free to grab your badge from the CSSC Rules & Badges page, and display it proudly on your blog. You've earned it!

And KT, please email me (link on the right) to select your ink colors!

Normally you'd have a few days off to clean your desk, or eat bon-bons, but nooooooo, I chose to start my challenge in February, so I'll be back tomorrow (the 1st!) with a new sketch.

Thanks, again, for your support! xo
