As you probably read above, this is the last stop on the hop! If you are new to 365 Cards, let me just tell you a bit about this blog:
We issue a new card challenge every day of the year!! One of my favorite challenges to post is the White Space challenge. I provide a sketch that indicates the "white" area that needs to be left free of decoration. Of course, there are ways around this, but the general idea is to keep your card simple. Every day this week, I will share a different white space sketch to challenge you. First up this week is Gloria, who got to use this sketch:
So how can you win a prize this week at 365 Cards? You can comment on any of the posts this week by sharing with us what you think about White Space challenges. A winner will be drawn at random at the end of the week.
I will also offer another prize just for participating this week. You will earn 1 chance for every white space challenge you enter this week. At the end of the week, a winner will be drawn at random.
Now I will finally get around to the Top Trio for last week's challenges. Each week, the DT and I select three cards that really stood out for their beauty, creativity, or maybe a clever idea. Here are 3 of our favorite cards from last week:
1) Barb Housner - For this pretty in pink beauty.
2) Manoli Navarro - For this big beautiful glittery blossom.
3) Margie - For creating this fabulous Friday Five card.
Over on the sidebar we have a special blinkie for Card of the Week, and you three are welcome to grab it and add it to your blogs!
Each week we also acknowledge the amazing and talented cardmakers who are able to complete every challenge for the week (Sunday-Saturday) by the end of the week. With all our busy lives that is no easy task, but this group of individuals managed it:
Gail, Linda B., Debbi F., Heather B., Margie, Melissa B., Jammie, Studio Sara, Kim O'Rear, and Lee Ann
If I missed your name and it should be up here, please let me know! And well done to all of you who complete all 7 challenges from last week!!
Thanks for joining us at 365 Cards this week, and come back every day for another white space challenge...

Wow, white space challenge! I've never been to your site before so the blog hop was good for exposure. Can't wait to try!
Cool - great concept - White space. We always try and fill it don't we.
I'll participate and I became a new follower.
I am joining the blog hop. White space? That's a tough one for me. I love to fill fill fill
I like the challenge of today.
Thanks for including me in the top 3!
Who was going to tell me, I do not like the glitter :)
Great challenge today! I am new to your blog and it looks like fun.
Wow. Never been here before. Not really a card maker BuT I do like white space! Fun blog hop!
white space??? not quite sure about that one -- i like to fill in stuff! :)
great blog hop -- this one was fun! :)
I don't like having alot of white space. Would rather fill it.
Pam, White space is great, forces me to re-think my cards..... I'm on it raght after some coffee! ha ha ha
Great challenge. I do not use white space much. To me I always feel that something is missing.
I THINK THESE WHITE SPACE CHALLENGES ARE VERY CHALLENGING. WE DO LOTS OF LAYERS AND FORGET THIS " WHITE" ON OUR CARD
I really need to try one
Great hop!!
I really enjoyed today's challenge and look forward to doing more this week!
Boy I am going to have to think on this. I have a hard time with cards and an even harder time with white space.
Your blog is great, I keep coming back for inspiration! Just a suggestion
Have you tried Inlinkz (www.inlinkz.com) instead of Mr.Linky? It's better, stable, totally free, more customizable and even supports thumbnails! you can see a working example on http://embellishmagazine.com/blog/
What a great "white space" card, Gloria.....I sure hope that Pam slows down on the coffee this week. LOL
wow, a new sketch everyday? that's awesome. Now that I've hopped to all the stops and sketched down all of my assignments for the week I better hop over to the scrap table and get busy. I'm excited about the cards, I've only made one or two, I usually stick to 12x12 lo's.
Sounds like an interesting challenge. A new follower I will be!
I always find white space challenges really tough...but I'll give it a try!
White space challenges ARE hard...but if you are like me, you just work around them. hee hee
I am a huge fan of CAS, so will give this one a try! Thanks for the challenge and a fun hop. I have visited sites which were new to me, so it's been great!
I LOVE white space challenges! This will be a great week!
Thank you for picking my card as one of the cards of the week. I LOVE doing the challenges everyday and this one was one of the hardest. Anyway, thanks!
Wow...I'm new here and can't believe I've been missing out on all this fun for so long! Well, I'm a follower now!!!
i've never seen a white space challenge before.. looks tricky!
I had a difficult time with this challenge...even though I was just telling someone the other day not to be afraid of white space. Go figure!
Great challenges as always ,the white space theme is always good but I think I got the better of Gloria this time.
Haven't started the blog hop yet,not really my thing but may have a go.
What a clever idea to make the 'white space' an empty frame for the image!
Great cards, love the white space. Will be joining along.
I love blog hops! Now I found you and love your ideas for white space. Entry is in!
What a great sketch for an Easter card!
i will be trying to do these challenges...look interesting
Great challenge - very unusual for me...I love embellishments *lol*
I'm still learning how to use white space, but it's great for showing off designer papers and making quicker projects
Fun Challenges! I'm new to this blog, but I'll be back.
I love using white space on my LOs... never thought to use it on my cards, until now!! Love it!
I just love this sketch. I can't wait to try my hand at all the white space sketches for the week. Thanks so much!
