Diane's FAVE

Avra brings summertime freshness with all those bright, yellow lemons from the Lemon Twist stamp set. The added pink blossoms look wonderful as does the slice of lemon on the corner! We just love the unique take on the sketch!  Fabulous job, Avra!

Sue's FAVE 

Dandi93 creates a super clever CAS card by having her sloth from the Slothy Christmas stamp set hanging off the diagonal of the sketch!  She keeps the card simple and clean by stamping the sentiment at the bottom.  This is so cute, Irene!

Amy's FAVE

Melissa showcases the paper from the A Cat's Life paper pad speCATularly!  She adds twine at the corner to make her kitten (Cat Silhouettes die set) look like she is pulling it down!  I know!  So clever, Melissa!

Claire's FAVE

#22 Debbie Frank is showcasing the Summertime paper pad. She pulls several designs that work purr-fectly with the kitten from the Newton's Kite stamp and die set.  The ability to mix and match papers with the different stamp sets makes for the most adorable cards!  Thanks, Debbie, for this bright, brilliant card!

Debbie's FAVE

Jane P. creates an amazing card using the vintage pick-up truck from the Farming Fun stamp and die set. She uses a patriotic color scheme that works amazingly with her blue truck.  Don't you love how she stamps the white trucks on blue paper?  Great work, Jane!

Irene creates a spectacular 3D card that will win over any gardener's heart!  She pulls the little flowers from the Garden Whimsy (retired) stamp set and Winston's Honeybees (retired) stamp set to create rows in her garden.  Then she has the super cute Winston (Garden Whimsy) giving the flowers a bit of water. She finishes with little birdies from the Newton's Peeps stamp set. Wow!

Claire's FAVE

Andrea W. designs this sweet spring scene. The combination of striped and floral papers provide for a pretty spring backdrop for the butterfly-chasing Newton from the Newton's Flower Garden stamp and die set. Love the extra butterflies that she adds!

Debbie's FAVE

Erin pulls the table and chairs image from the Cozy Campers stamp set and showcases it on her pretty card. The flower in the vase coordinates wonderfully with the floral paper in the background. A simply elegant card!

Jennifer's FAVE

Amy creates a fun birthday card using the Cluck stamp set.  She thinks outside the box by coloring the chickens in unique pastel colors that work wonderfully!  Super fun and creative!

Sue's FAVE

Karen stamps the lilies from the Little Lilies stamp set to create her pretty backdrop.  The white sentiment on black really pops!  She sprinkles on some baubles to finish her stunning card.

Thank you for playing!

Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge! 

Diane Morales creates this darling tag using the sketch!  She begins with a polka dotted tag. Then adds a kraft strip which she has used the Tumbling Hearts stencil. She then adds a strip of tag to her lightly colored sky and adheres her sweet focal point--this darling cow from Farmyard Friends stamp set.

Sue T.'s take on the sketch blasts us into outer space!  From the Cosmic Newton stamp set, she adds this feline astronaut on a background of stars which she creates using the Starfield stencil. She adds her little sentiment banner and a moon, and some flickering sequins to finish it off!  Out of this world!

Becky Noelle  creates beautiful shades of greens using Distress Inks. She then adds a honeycomb frame which she places her honey-lovin' bear from the Winston's Honeybees stamp set. She embosses her sentiment on a black banner and adds a splattering of bees to finish it off!  Sweet!

For those snowbound, Bobbi Lemanski brings us a much needed spring day!  She begins by making a cloudy background using the Cloudy Sky stencil. She adds green hills using Land Borders Dies. Her focal point is the bicycle full of flowers from the Loads of Blooms stamp set which Bobbi has colored in an assortment of bright colors. To add more fun, Bobbi pulls the butterfly and balloons from the the Delightful Doxies  stamp set. 

Debbie Owens brings us an ocean-themed card. She uses the Seashells stencil to create her colorful background before cutting it with the Framework die set. She adds vellum waves using the Waves die set. She makes a green glittery frame using a small die from the Framework set. For her focal point, she colors the female feline from the Purr-Maid Newton stamp set who is holding a champagne flute from the Cocktail Mixer stamp set.  For a bit more bling, she adds some sequins.
