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 chosenwhen 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.

So that’s what we did and now it’s over to you, and if you get a sec, don’t forget to check out our individual blogs and see what else we have been up to.

As always, could we ask a huge favour peeps please.

Could you help to make our job at leaving comments easier by turning off comment verification and enabling comment moderation instead please pretty please xxxx. It’s ever so easy to do – see our sidebar – and you won’t get spam comments as you can easily reject the comments that you don't want to appear.

Can we remind you nicely that’s it’s fine to combine challenges but please, no back linking. We hope you understand that it’s only fair to those who make a new card xxx

And could we ask that you restrict your number of entries please to no more than 5

Thanks ever so muchly – we really do appreciate it xxx

And  just to let you know that sometimes it is not possible for the Design Team to leave a comments on every entry, with these Blogger issues that some of us are having at the mo – grrrrrr what a nightmare. But please be assured that we do stop by and we are doing our best and every single eligible entry goes into the draw for our prizes even if we don’t manage to leave you a comment.

Finally, can I please ask companies out there who think that it's OK to use challenges as a form of free promotion, that they would not do this over here. Last week we had a link left by another Ribbon company - no card made, just a link to their web page. I know that times are tough and I do sympathise but it's a bit cheeky to just add a picture that looks like it may be a card in the hope that our genuine crafters may go and view it - naughty naughty naughty!!!! This would be bad enough but last week we were sponsored by The Ribbon Girl and I feel that that this is so disrespectful to do that when another company - and a competitor in this case) took the trouble to put up a prize. I wouldn't be happy in any case but that fact that this was done to our own Mary who has been so good to this and so many other challenges made my blood boil.  Not only is it not fair to her, but this isn't fair to our Papertakers who think they are going to view a card.  I did email the company in question but not surprisingly I haven't had a reply!! So could I please ask respectfully that this does not happen again and all none relevant links will be removed from now on

Sorry for the vent peeps but I feel so strongly about this. 

Thanks for bearing with us and huggiest of hugs to all xxx
