Crystal's FAVE

Claire's tag featuring the Newton's Book Club stamp set could easily double as a book mark! Doesn't Newton look fabulous napping on top of those good books?  A purr-fect way to hold one's place!

Debbie's FAVE

A. Rose designs a fabulous card for any outdoor lover!  On yellow and orange layers, she creates a wonderful wilderness background combining the Evergreens and Waves stencils. She adds orange canoes from the Lake Advice stamp set and places them in the waves. Her focal point is the poem from the  Lake Advice stamp set.  

Diane's FAVE

Kay Demonbren draws a fabulous laundry room scene and places Newton from the Newton Cleans Up stamp set in a big yellow laundry basket!  The wash, dry, fold, nap sentiment in the wooden frame is a purr-fect touch!

Sue's FAVE

Kimberly C. turns the Waves & Splashes stencil on its side to create a bold, vibrant background featuring the challenge colors. A top two layers of vellum, she adds Newton from the Newton's Melon stamp set enjoying a slice of yellow melon. She adds some sequins for some sparkle!

Becky's FAVE

Pixiedonna creates a bright garden scene with Newton from the Newton' Birdbath stamp set playing in the water. Her bright blue sky with the fluffy white clouds from Cloudy Sky stencil looks wonderful against the green grass. The little bit of white splattering on the grass and the fluttering butterflies make the scene complete!

Hope everybody is doing good, can't wait to see what you guys do for the next challenge.

Bobbi Lemanski creates this fabulous card by creating a watery background on which she adds her vertical striped lake-themed paper. She creates her tag and adds a navy blue border.  She runs rope through the little tabs at the top and adds a bit of jute.  She stamps the poem from the Lake Advice stamp set.  She embosses the birthday sentiment from the Cocktail Mixer stamp set in white on a red strip. A sprinkling of blue sequins completes the card wonderfully.

Debbie Owens creates a rustic-like card by creating the background using the Tree Rings stencil and die cut using the Framework die set.  Instead of a vertical strip, she layers leaves using the Flower Trio die set before adding the center tag which she distresses the edges using brown ink. She adds the sentiment and cabin using the Winston's Lake House stamp set.  She adds a neutral twine and bow to finish it off.

Diane Morales creates this soft, sweet card which features one of the mice images from the Garden Mice stamp and die set. She creates her card base by cutting the Framework die set. She then cuts another layer using the Flags & Frames die set from this pretty floral paper. For her white tag, she adds texture using the Bold Blooms stencil. She adds her sentiment (Garden Mice) on a white tag and hangs it on with a yellow and white twine. Super sweet!

 Sue T. creates this bright, bold card by coordinating the red polka dotted paper with the spots on the mushroom!  She cuts her base using the Framework die set and adds her pattern paper. For her center tag, she adds the sentiment and this sweet mouse from the Garden Mice stamp and die set. To finish her card, she tops the tag with a white and black striped washi tape.  Too cute!

Becky Noelle creates this stunning card by using texture paste on the Bold Blooms stencil set. She then carefully colored in the flowers on top of the textured paste!  Just amazing!  She then added a vellum striped layer. For her center banner she stamps the sentiment from the April Showers stamp set. She winds jute twine several times and adds a bow to finish it off.
