July Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz

Hi there! Lisa, the Sketch Mouse-keeper, stepping in for a moment to let you know that the details of the July Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz are now up on the Waltzingmouse Stamps blog! We hope to see you there!

Sketch Challenge #5

And we're back! Thanks for bearing with us while we took a bit of a breather after the Waltzingmouse Stamps July Release festivities. It was a fantastic release, though, don't you think? Claire is still shipping out orders as fast as she can! If you're lucky enough to already have your new stamps, then here's a great chance to give them a go!

This is a bit simpler than the Sketch 4 challenge, don't you think? (*wink*) But we LOVED all the creativity we saw with Sketch 4, and we look forward to seeing what you get up to with this one!

Here's what some of our design team ladies have created:

Anya Schrier

Belinda Chang Langner

Bonnie Sharp

Carly Robertson

 Julia Aston

Lisa Hjulberg

 Lynn Mercurio

You are welcome to make a card or a scrapbook page or anything else that moves you, as long as we can see the sketch in there somewhere! Please post your cards/projects using Inlinkz no later than 11:59 pm EASTERN on Thursday, July 15th. We'll announce the Top Mouse Awards when we post the new sketch challenge next Saturday.

Sketch 4 Winners and Top Mouse Recipients

Hello friends! I hate to say it, but we're going to have to take a sketch challenge break this week. Although we had a blast, the design team was taxed by the July release festivities. One person said she couldn't squeeze another card out this week if someone held a heat gun to her head! {LOL} So, in the interest of safety and mental health, we're going to give this week a miss and be back next Saturday with a new sketch!

Thanks so much for all who gave Sketch 4 a try. It was a tricky one, wasn't it? While we didn't reach 100 players, we feel that those who did give it a go should still have a crack at a prize. So instead of a stamp set, we're awarding one lucky player a free Waltzingmouse template OR digi paper pack of choice!

According to Random.org, the lucky winner is #17 Wanda Cullen!

Wanda please email Claire at claire.brennan1@ntlworld.com with your choice of template or digi paper pack and she'll get your prize to you. Please be a bit patient, though, because she's knee deep getting orders out from the new release.

And now for the Top Mouse awards! The sketch might have been tricky, but you ladies aced it. We were delighted with everything we saw! If you haven't already, you really must go through them one by one. You will be amazed by all the creativity.

Alas, we can only choose three for the Top Mouse award, and they are:

Helen Berry

Kelly S

Suezie Howard 

Congratulations Ladies! Please email me at TheCraftsMeow@gmail.com and I will send you the HTML for the Top Mouse blinkie to place on your blogs.

We'll see you next Saturday for another fabulous sketch challenge!
