Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

Entrants and Followers.

Here it is, 19th August already; time flies when you're having fun crafting.

Here are our winners for our July Challenge. Thank you, ladies, for all your beautiful entries.

Our Winner is

Congratulations!

Please email anne_ssw2@aol.co.uk to arrange a GDT spot. Alternatively, if you are in our Facebook group, you might find it's easier to send a message using Messenger.

Congratulations, please collect your badge from the sidebar.

I'm sorry, but I found it hard to make a decision for our Top 3, so I've gone with a Top 5 instead. I know we haven't got enough entries, but honestly I couldn't make up my mind. So please take our Top 5 badge and display it proudly on your blogs.

Top 5

In entry order:

#2 Wises

Such a cute image, and the sketch was executed perfectly.

#3 Darlene

Beautiful colour combo and stunning design papers, and a matching envelope.

#8 Urska

This is such a lovely feminine 60th birthday card. Your colours are lovely, Urska; they are so delicate.

#15 Nat

I just love the colours and design papers; they blend together beautifully, and your embellishments are so perfect.

#18 Pat

This is such a pretty card; the design papers are lovely, and Pat finished her card off with this cute daisy, exactly the same as my sketch.

I'm so looking forward to seeing what you all create this month with our two new sketches. Don't forget you can go into the archives and pick a sketch which has an #8 in it, as there are plenty to choose from.

Hugs, Kathie, Anne and Kelly

August 2026 at SSW2 #332 #333

Hello and welcome to our latest challenge.

We have two new sketches for you this month, and a twist for the retro sketch.

You can enter up to three projects per month, so why not try the new sketches and a retro sketch? We would love to see your entries.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter our last challenge. We visited so many lovely cards on your sites, and we'll be back soon with another post announcing our winner and the Top 3 cards.

So without further ado, here are the sketches for August.

Sketch #332

Sketch #333

And for the retro sketch, you can choose any sketch which contains the number 8. Please tell us which sketch you used in your post. The retro sketches are in the left-hand sidebar.

Remember, these sketches can be flipped and/or turned; it's entirely up to you as long as we can see the original sketch in your card.

Here's some inspiration from the DT
