A Final Farewell

Good-byes are never easy, and saying farewell to the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge is especially difficult. We hope that over the past 3 years that you have found our challenge a fun part of your lives. The Waltzingmouse Stamps Mischief Makers have created amazing projects to help inspire you to play along with these challenges and we are so lucky to have had a such terrific group.

As we say our final farewell, we have three last Top Mouse Winners to share with you. They all used this sketch as their inspiration for their projects.

...and the three Top Mouse winners for our final challenge are:

Anne-Elise

Meredith

Lori Tecler

We have seen such great creativity from all of our players each week, and are pleased to highlight these three wonderful projects. Congratulations to our Top Mouse winners. Thank you so much ladies, for sharing your craftiness!

We can’t say good-bye without a give-away, so we wish to congratulation our winner of a free Waltzingmouse Stamps set of her choice...

Nancy in Iowa

Thanks Nancy for playing along with our challenge. Please send Claire an e-mail at Claire.brennan1@ntlworld.com. Kindly provide her with your contact information and set choice, and she will pack up your selection and send it on its way to you.

Thank you ALL for your weekly participation and support of Waltzingmouse Stamps and this challenge. We couldn’t sign off without acknowledging our Mischief Makers who consistently created amazing projects to help inspire you. A mere thank you just doesn’t seem enough – you ladies are the heart of the WMS Sketch Challenge which couldn’t have existed without you.

This isn’t really a good-bye, because there will be more challenges and fun to follow on the Waltzingmouse Stamps blog in the near future. Until then, so long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight – adieu, adieu to you and you and you!

Challenge #128–December 15, 2012

Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge.  During this extremely busy time of year, we are thrilled that you stopped by and hope that you will join us for our challenge. Each week we are excited to see the amazing creative designs submitted by our talented Mischief Makers using Waltzingmouse Stamps images.

Before we get started today, I wanted to mention that there won’t be a challenge next week. Our Mischief Makers will be making ready their final holiday preparations, as I’m sure you will be, so we will take next Saturday off for Christmas. We will be back on December 29th with our Top Mouse winners and the announcement of the winner of the free stamps set, so you will have two full weeks to work and and submit your projects.

Today we bring you another fabulous “mojo starter” and are excited to see what you do with the sketch this week! So, let’s get right to the Top Mouse Award winners from last week’s sketch challenge. The winners are…
