Liz has given the sketch a really modern twist which I really like - so much so in fact, that I kind of nicked the idea myself for one of my cards this week.

Sadly, we are saying goodbye to Emma and Kathrin who have been our guests for the last 4 weeks. I have loved every one of their cards and on behalf of the team, I would like to thank them both for the wonderful work they have produced for us xxxxx. We hope you have enjoyed your time with us girls :)

We will have another 2 lovelies next week, but you'll have to wait and see who they are - hee hee lol xx

Dawnys Sketch #17

Hi there lovelies :)) x

Hope you all had a great week and have been enjoying this wonderful weather. Before we start on the new challenge, I just want to say a huge thanks to Nikki for all the hard work she's put in for our challenge. For those of you who haven't read her blog, Nikki is having a little break and will hopefully be back with us before too long xxxx

And thanks also to everyone for your support and encouragement last week. Your shoe cards were fantastic and it wasn't an easy challenge, but you did it proud. Fabulous!!

So, how do you fancy being a Guest Designer here on Papertake Weekly?

If you do, all you have to do is either leave a comment after you've submitted your card, or e-mail Dawny and we will be in touch. If you aren't on a team, please don't let that stop you cos we want to give as many people as possible a chance.

We will have 2 Guest Designers every 4 weeks starting from ........... next week!!!

So what do we have this week?

Well, it's time for a sketch ...

Don't forget that you can flip and rotate and interpret this in which ever way you choose, it's up to you. Also, the 'text' is optional, so you can add it or leave it out.

Here is what we did with it -
