Sketch 172- Our Final Sketch

Thank you all for your kind comments on our post last week. We hadn't thought of "passing the torch" onto a new set of crafters, but this is something we are now considering and working on.

So- the only thing I can say is I hope you'll check back for news now & then in case we do!


 
I can't believe it's come down to this- our final sketch! Thank you all for sticking with us these past several years. You mean the world to us!


Broni Holcombe: Splashes of Watercolor
I’m a mother to 2 beautiful daughters, and a Nana to 3 young grandsons and an adorable granddaughter.  I live in beautiful South Carolina where I’m an accountant by day for a major beverage distributor.  I spend as much of my non-working time as possible in the paper-crafting world…either creating or sharing and learning online.

I started stamping in 2005 and was honored with being chosen as a member of the Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen design team a short 2 years later.  Coloring is my passion, and Copic markers are my “weapon” of choice.

When I’m not crafting (or online!), you can find me playing with the grandchildren, kayaking, swimming or planning my next trip to the beach!

And here is Broni's gorgeous take on our final sketch:



I'd like to take a minute just to thank, not only our current design team, but all of our past design team members. These ladies (and 1 man if you can remember that far back!) have provided inspiration for you week after week and that is part of what made this blog such a success. Thank you for your commitment and sacrifice and endless creativity!!

And now, let's focus on our design team one last time:



There is no link tool this week- play along with us just for fun. You can link your card in the comments section if you wish.

Also, just a note to our dear readers...We want to visit your blogs to see your gorgeous takes on the sketches. We would greatly appreciate it if you would consider turning off (disabling) word verification on your blog to help ensure we leave a comment for you! Thank you!

  4. Love the takes on the sketch!

    I heard the news from Anja, she was one of your DT's and my colleague at Dutch Card Lovers and was rather sad then. Although I do not have much time to participate, on occasions I did. This is one of the best sketchblogs I have ever seen. I do hope you will find a way to go on. I totally understand the reasons, but still ... hope...
    If not, thanks for all the work and lovely sketches!
