Oh, Ms Priscilla has quite the challenge going on today with her weekly MMSC62~
Priscilla, you maybe dont know this just yet, but I think I should explain why this sketch is just a tad different from your challenge. Quite simply, I cheat. There is rarely a card in my gallery that hasnt been modified in some way. I dunno why I cheat, I really dont. I have used the G45 rows of stamps as the smaller cut panels ... I dont cut so well, so this seemed to be the best option for me.
Another fun challenge! Thanks Priscilla and all your DT members who all bring some fabulous creations to the gallery!

It is not cheating, just a smarter and different way to be creative. Artistic license is the term. But in reality I think you seceretly like being thought of as a BAD girl!! Unfortunately we all know that you really aren't......but nice try!! This card is incredibly stylish and elegant!! Love your awesome color palette. The MMDesign Team thanks you for playing in our challenge this week!

You cheat beautifully, Anne. This card is gorgeous. I love your postage stamp panel and your elegant drama queen. The entire card is very elegant and quite suited for a diva.

Oh Anne this Art Deco style is quite invigorating! Anne I bet you gave your parents a few problems growing up. It seems you don't like rules??? lol But that should come as no surprise as really creative people, especially artist, don't like rules. They love to be free of restrictions for their creative expression...and that is what you have accomplished here. I love those fabulous papers and goes perfectly with your enchanting image. I love the touches of peeking lace and darling flowers. Just marvelous!!! Great job with the sketch. Thanks so much for playing along with the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.
Bear Hugs,

Anne, even though you are a "cheat" and former resident of the BFC, I have to admit, you have come up with another WINNER!! I absolutely LOVE that image and your wonderful array of dps. The lace, flowers and ribbon just kick it up a notch. Ooooh, I hate it when I have to say nice things, but it can't be avoided. When you've got it, you've got it, and you certainly do HAVE the IT factor my friend!! GORGEOUS!!! Hey, if you get comments like this, guess it's okay to keep on a cheatin'. I would expect nothing less from you. It also looks like you did some good focus and concentration on this one. You must have learned that from me - NOT!! Hugs Annie Jo!
Thanks SO MUCH for joining us in The Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge and hope you can hop over again next week and continue your beautiful "cheating" techniques!!
Hugs

Anne, this is wonderful! So elegant and so interesting and so pretty! I vote that you didn't cheat, but I still agree that you were probably a bit challenging as a child!
Seriously, this is one of your best cards ever in my opinion.
