Sketchie Free For All :)

Hi peeps and hope you are all OK and that you had a great Bank Holiday weekend :)

Thank you to everybody who joined in last week -  your paper piecing was fabulous.

So who was our lucky winner then ?

Doc1

Well this week it's  you Lynda:)

Well done to you and if you e-mail me, I’ll pass your details on to Mary & Andrea  and hugest of thanks to The Ribbon Girl for sponsoring us xxx

And check out what Lynda  did peeps …..

How gorgeous and a nice bit of digi paper piecing as well.  I love it:)

So onto this week and as it’s the last one of the month, we have a little sketchie for you and ….

and here it is – sketch #79.

But as we are doing now,  if you would prefer to use another sketch, then please feel free to use any Papertake Weekly sketch you fancy because we have another ...

Sketchie Free For All

All you have to do is to use any PTW sketch (it MUST be one of ours please) and just add the number of the sketch you’ve chosen when you post the link back to us :) To make life a bit easier, we now have a sketches page at the top here so there are a fair old few to choose from. Hopefully this will save you having to go back through the archives to find one that you like :)

As always, please feel free to resize, flip and rotate the elements - as long as you can still see the sketch, it’s completely fine so fill yer boots!!!

And of course, as it’s the last challenge of the month, we are sponsored by those fabulous people across the pond.
