Challenge #109–August 4, 2012

Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge.  We are thrilled that you stopped by and hope that you will join us for our challenge.  Each week we are lucky to see so many amazing creations showcasing their creativity using Waltzingmouse Stamps images.  Our Mischief Makers struggle each week choosing only three players to honor with the title of Top Mouse award winners.  We are back again this week with another fabulous sketch and are just as excited to see what you do this week!

Let’s get right to the Top Mouse Award winners from last week’s sketch challenge. The winners are…

Anne-Elise

Suezie

Miriam Prantner

Fabulous creativity ladies! Congratulations to our Top Mouse winners this week. If you ladies don’t have a Top Mouse Blog Badge, or would like to update your current Top Mouse Badge to our new and improved Top Mouse Blog Badge, just send me an e-mail at lmercurio at sbcglobal dot net and I will provide you with the HTML code for the updated badge. We hope you will display it proudly.  Thank you for your participation and support of the challenge.

And now for the lucky winner, chosen from all the participants to each receive a complimentary Waltzingmouse Stamps set of choice is:

Congratulations, Claire.  Please send Claire an e-mail at Claire.brennan1@ntlworld.com. Provide her with your contact information and set choice, and she will pack up your selections and send it on its way to you.

As usual, we have another great inspirational sketch  for you today. This week we have another sketch which was created by our Design Team member, Bonnie Sharp. We hope that you will follow your creative mojo and interpret the sketch as you see fit. Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch.  As you can see from the Mischief Makers’ and Design Team samples, there are many interpretations of the sketch. Set your mojo free and go with the flow.

Remember to post your projects using the Inlinkz link tool below, no later than 12:00 noon Central time on Friday, August 10, 2012. We will announce the winner of the stamp set and the new Top Mouse Award winners when the new sketch challenge is posted on Saturday, August 11th.  Please use a direct link to your project and feel free to enter as many times as you like!

Motivated yet? We sure hope so. Grab your supplies and let’s see that Waltzingmouse creativity shine. We ask that you use at lease one WMS image on your submission. We reserve the right to remove entries that do not comply with the guidelines. It’s not fair to the players who do. Including WMS images on your project adds to the creative inspiration we gain each week from your wonderful creations. Want to play along, but don’t have any Waltzingmouse Stamps? No problem – Claire has some freebie images you may download, print out and use for this or any WMS Sketch Challenge.

You don’t have to have a blog to play along with the sketch challenge. If you upload your project to any on-line galleries or forums, please use the keyword of WMSC109. As always you are welcome and encouraged to upload your project to your album in the Waltzingmouse Stamps Gallery!

Are you ready to get started with the sketch challenge? Ready…set…CREATE! We hope that you will tell your friends about our challenge. Have a wonderfully creative week!
