May Sketch Challenge Honorable Mentions & Top Honor

Hi, hi!  It's that time of the week again--Top Honor and Honorable Mentions from last week's sketch challenge! 

Before I share my picks, can I just make a couple of quick comments?  I've gotten a bit upset at times when my card hasn't won.  I really try to put my heart and soul into my crafting, and sometimes when it seems that no one sees my creations and/or doesn't appreciate them, I tend to get down.  BUT, it also challenges me to get better!  Why and I sharing this?  I felt like I needed to.  I've often wondered if the DT people on other challenge blogs even really LOOK at my card before they comment.  Not just glance, but actually LOOK.  While I can't speak for them--and I'm sure they are NEVER meaning ill will--I can speak for myself and Jacqueline (hopefully?).  We LOVE seeing everyone's creations here at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and we hope you know how appreciative we are that you play along with us.  Please don't take offense if you don't win--we can't choose everyone!  Just keep trying--we love having you!!! :)

Okay, so now that it's over with, let's get to the main point of our post!
