We loved the "green dot" theme that Donna used on her card with the Newton's Birthday Bash set. She has a dotted background texture, dotted patterned paper and sequins too! Great job!

This card by Kanan was a different twist on the green challenge - instead of creating a spring card like most of the participants, she used our  Holiday Wishes to create a pretty green Holiday card! We loved all the shades of green and bits of sparkle!

This little tag by Kelli is just adorable! We loved the way she colored the kitty from our Newton's Antics stamp set. Plus there are a ton of shades of green on this little piece! What a fun tag!

Thanks so much!

Thanks again to everyone who entered - We LOVE seeing all the entries! If you didn't win this time we hope you'll try again next month. It's always SO HARD to pick the winners because everyone does such a great job!

I love the green watercolor background on this card by our Guest Designer, Debbie Owens! She used our new stamp set, Winston's Birthday!

Our Guest Designer, Chrissie Tobas also did a watercolor background on her card featuring Newton's Birthday Bash! I love how this turned out too!  

 Design Team Member Danielle used our Dino Set, Prehistoric Pals to create this fun green scene! 

 This cute kitty card by Samantha Mann makes me smile! I love the sentiment she created to go with the kitty from Newton's Antics! Plus the green box is adorable!

Larissa Heskett is so good at combining stamps from different sets! She use the owl from Sweetheart Tails, the Branch and birdcage from Tweet Talk and the "hey there" from Love à la Carte!

For this fun "green" card Design Team Member Tessa Wise used the fun dragon from our Magical Dreams stamp set! I love the little bits of colored tape too! 

This fun card is by Design Team Member Christine Drogt. Christine used the bear from our Halloween set, Boo Crew and made it into a get well card! Such a fun idea!

Here's one from me :) I used some fun arrow washi tape and gave the kitty from Newton's Birthday Bash a stack of paper pierced green gifts! 

Another one by me - I couldn't resist using the newly- named Winston! I used the Winston's Birthday Stamp set to create this fun green scene!
