Debbie's FAVE 

Becca Yahrling created this fabulous easel card showcasing the BBQ Roundabout (retired) stamp set. Deb loves how Becca made a tablecloth with the BBQ print as well as how she cut out individual images to make plates of yummy food!  Super creative way to showcase this set!

Kelly's FAVE

Kelly adores Priscilla Joseph's fall theme on her friendship card. Priscilla splendidly colors the image from the Fall Friends stamp and coordinating die set. She also picks the perfect mix of papers from the Autumn Basics paper pad which she uses with the Card Layout 3 die. Anyone else yearning for fall?

Amy's FAVE

Amy loves the glittery puppy Sandy Bernstein uses on her darling card. This little fellow is from the Puppy Playtime (retired) stamp and coordinating die set.  Sandy pairs him with papers from the Pastel Basics paper pad. She uses the Card Layout 6 die in conjunction with the Corner Flip die set to create some dimension to her fabulous card!

Claire's FAVE

Melissa Sunshine Honey Bee's hexagonal card caught Claire's eye as well as the popped up sentiment. Melissa uses the Hexagon Frames die set with papers from the Springtime paper pad. She stamps the bee house with a couple of bees from the Beekeeper Newton (retired) stamp set. As for the popped up sentiment, she pulls a die from the Banner Trio die set. Such a darling way to send happiness to a friend!

Danni's FAVE

The darling mix of papers on Mindy Finnegan's card wins over Danni's heart! Those papers are from the Farmyard paper pad. She uses dies for the Frame & Flags die set to create her stitched panels. And the main attraction to her card are this trio of gossiping chickens from the Cluck stamp and coordinating die set. Too cute!

Use the challenge sketch. 

Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

Debbie Owens uses the patterns and colors from the A Cat's Life paper pad to create this bright, fun card featuring the studious feline from the Newton's Reading List stamp set. And coffee is definitely a fun way to enjoy life, so Deb adds a cuppa of Java from the Newton Loves Coffee stamp set!

Is it happy hour, yet? Amy Tollner thinks it is with her darling feline from the Newton's Happy Meowr stamp set who is enjoying a fruity cocktail. Amy has pulled some fun summery papers from the Summertime paper pad making for a festive setting. She stamps her sentiment on a little banner using the Banner Trio die set.

Claire Lamb has a creative take on the sketch with her honey bee take! She uses the Heartfelt Honeycomb stamp set to create her bakcground. She then adds a trio of honey bee boxes with some tall, green grass (Land Borders die set). That handsome beekeeper is our very own Newton from the Beekeeper Newton stamps and coordinating die set.

Crystal Minkler is getting us ready for the upcoming fall season with her darling Halloween card! She uses festive papers from the Halloween Meows paper pad and the Frames & Flags die set to create her background layers. She showcases her feline witch from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set on a bold, black hexagon background (Hexagon Frames die set).

Reading to go surfing? Danni Bindel's card will have you packing your car and heading for some waves. She uses the Basic Frames and the Frames & Flags die set to create those pretty layers with papers from the Summertime paper pad. And her VW Bug from the Beach Bound sta mp and coordinating dies is packed and ready to roll! A super fun way to use the sketch!
