August Pick A Previous Sketch Challenge

I am sad to say that this is my last challenge as hostess.  Isn't it fabulous though that August has a 5th Saturday so I get one extra challenge to host! When there is a 5th Saturday, the challenge is always Pick A Previous...I chose Sketch.  That means you get to create a Christmas card using any of the previous 52 CCT sketches.  You can find them at the top of the page.


Don't forget to tell us which sketch you used.

Here are the wonderfully creative cards from the DT.

May Pick a Previous Challenge - Colours

Hello there!  It's Patricia here again, welcoming you to our challenge blog.  We're glad you've stopped by here today, and we hope you'll join in this week's challenge!  Since it's a relatively rare fifth Saturday of the month, our theme is "Pick a Previous Challenge".  This time we'd like you to choose one of our previous Colour Challenges from the Colours Archive tab and use that to inspire your Christmasy or wintry card. When you share your card with us, please let us know which colour combination you've chosen. 

 

Here's some inspiration from the Design Team:

August Pick a Previous Challenge

Hi! and welcome to the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown challenge! We're so glad you could join us.

My name is Gill, and it's my final week as hostess. I've really enjoyed designing new challenges for you each week and seeing your wonderful cards and creative talent fulfilling the brief.  I would like to say a big thank you for joining us to share your wonderful creations - you are all amazing! 


So, before I hand over to our new hostess - the amazingly talented Asha
for my final challenge, I would like you to pick a previous sketch

You can choose from any of the previous sketch challenges - there's a handy list to choose from in our archive file. You can change up the shapes, rotate the layout, make any shape of card you like - as long as you follow the basic sketch layout, we would love to see it. Don't forget to let us know which sketch you have selected.  

So, the choice is yours - pick your favourite, or maybe a sketch challenge you've missed previously, and show us what you come up with ...


And to help you, here's some inspiration from the Design Team ...

Please make sure to follow these rules when you play along with us here at 52CCT :

Please read the challenge requirements carefully before creating your card. We will never delete any submissions that do not follow our challenge rules, however, only cards that meet the requirements will be considered by the Design Team for our weekly Top Honours and Honourable Mention voting. 

Please link back to our blog in your post so that others can join in the fun.

We would love it if you added our button to the side of your blog.

Please make sure to link to your POST, not your blog.

Please make sure NOT to back link. Your card must not have been posted to your blog before the date of this challenge.

In order to be considered for Top Honour or Honourable Mention, you must link up by Friday at 6.00pm GMT.

You are free to combine this challenge with up to 10 other challenges.

We'd really appreciate it if you'd turn off word verification so that we can comment more easily. We know a lot of you do this for safety, but it takes a very long time to comment when verification is activated, and you may lose your comments from us.

Sorry for the delay - Linky in place now!
