Special Guest-Jen's FAVE

Gdesigns showcases papers from the Love & Meows paper pad in a fabulous way.  The little kitten image is even from the same paper pad! Brilliant way to use the paper.  The sweet sentiment is from the Newton's Heart stamp set.  Check out her link for another fabulous version of this card!

Debbie's FAVE

Jennifer K. features images from the Newton Celebrates stamp set.  The two tone circular borders and added confetti add to the festive flair of this fun card!  What a super cute way to celebrate a special occasion with a friend!

Amy's FAVE

Amy Mattingly uses the Cat Silhouettes and the Dogs Silhouettes die set in a spectacular way.  She creates her silhouettes in a rainbow of colors for a bright, fun card. Those bright colors against the black panel makes for a bold contrast!

Claire's FAVE

Arlene finds paper that mimic the flowers in the challenge badge, and it makes for a beautiful background. She then createws a heart using the Hearts Frame die set, and places two sweet felines inside the heart.  Those sweet furbabies are from the Newton's Antics stamp set, and the sentiment is from the Newton's Birdbath stamp set. A little floral paradise!

Crystal's FAVE

Sapphire creates a very CAS card using the ever popular Fireside Friends stamp set. These furbabies look so contented all snuggled together for a warm, winter's nap!

Amy's FAVE

Kristi H.'s Halloween card caught Amy's eye.  With the spooky purple background peeking out her windows, Krist adds the little ghost and owl from the retired Boo Hoo stamp set.  For her third window, she adds the sweet, little Jack-o-lantern from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set. Those playful polka dots are from the Halloween Meows paper pad, and they pull all the colors of Kristi's card.  For her sentiment, she pulls the Happy Halloween from the Spooky Roundabout stamp set.  Fabulously done!

Claire's FAVE

Vicki's use of the pastel papers from the Birthday Woofs paper pad with the two ice cream cones from the Summer Scoops stamp and coordinating die set was a fabulous idea. The pale yellow ice cream looks so delicious, especially with the added sprinkles using the Celebrations Embellishment Mix.  She also uses the heart from the Furr-ever Friends die set and the postage-edged die from the Framework die set to complete this scrumptious card!

Crystal's FAVE

Becca's combination of the lime green paw print paper and the pink polka dotted paper caught Crystal's eye.  Both papers are from the A Cat's Life paper pad.  Becca continues the fun by turning the card and adding circular elements with images from the Cat Treats stamp set. Don't you just love the little donut and ice cream cone?!  Wonderfully done!

Danni's FAVE

Jennifer K. caught Danni's eye with her use of the lime green!  Jennifer finds the perfect color of green ink to create her background using the Holiday Foliage stencil. She continues the fun by adding striped paper from the Canine Christmas paper pad. Instead of stamped images, Jennifer carefully cuts out her canine images from the paper.  Such a clever idea!  She then pulls the sentiment from the Puppy Present stamp set.  Such a bright, festive card!

Debbie's FAVE

Danielle's use of purple and orange caught Deb's eye. Danielle pulls the orange seashore paper from the Summertime paper pad, and then uses the Confetti hot foil plate with purple foil.  For her stitched circles she uses the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set.  Love it!  She adds a trio of very scrumptious-looking drinks from the Cocktail Mixer stamp and coordinating die set.  The overall effect is "Let's celebrate! 

Thank you for playing!
