Good morning!  I am sure you will agree that our top cards for challenge #317 are all "top notch".

Really cool cards!  I love how each uses the sketch in a very unique way. We have some very creative viewers and I always enjoy looking at all the entries.

Thanks to everyone who played along with challenge #317 and congratulations to our top three.

Happy card making, everyone!

Challenge #319

Good morning!  I almost forgot it was Tuesday.  Silly me.  I was not thinking clearly.  And.....I must be going daft. 
I know I have not shared any photos lately but I have to show you our tiny daffodils.  This is the first time we have grown them and they are giving us a taste of spring.

They are so pretty and happy looking that I just had to share!

Now for sketch #319...

Thanks to Vicki and the optional theme is "Create a round or oval card".

Here are the examples from our team:

Sara H.

Teresa

Vicki

Dawn

Donna

Kaylin

Libby

Maria

Wow!  Some really awesome circular and oval cards by our talented team.  If you have never made a circular card, they are a lot of fun and a style everyone should try.  I am sure these examples will spur you on to do just that.  

Remember, you have two weeks to play along and I look forward to seeing your creations.

Happy card making, everyone!

Top Cards for Challenge #316

Happy Wednesday everyone!  
I am really enjoying the new format showcasing the top cards in a post of their own.  How about you?

The entries for challenge #316 were each so unique and the top three each have a very different take on the sketch.  Here they are (in no particular order):

Congratulations, card makers!  And thank you to all who played along.  Just a reminder:  If you post your card using Flickr, I cannot include it in the top choices. I just do not know how to have the picture come out clear and there does not seem to be a way for me to link to the card maker.  Hope everyone has a great week!

Challenge #318

Good morning!  
I hope your week has started out well.  Spring is attempting to come here and our crocuses and daffodils are beginning to bloom.  Now, if only the temperature would warm up.  I am tired of frosty mornings.  Hope your weather is better than ours.

We have a clean and simple sketch this week courtesy of Vicki:

And the optional theme is A Trio of Words.

And here are the examples created by our team:

Jayme

Kaylin

Great cards, team!  You have given our viewers lots of ways to use the sketch and I am sure there will be several great cards for this challenge.  I hope everyone has fun playing along.  

As always, there are two weeks to enter (until May 1st) and you can post your cards below or on our Facebook page.  So lets everyone have some fun with this one!

Have a great week!

Top Cards for Challenge #314

Good Wednesday morning!  We are glad to welcome you back.
We had some awesome cards entered for this challenge and here are the ones the team has chosen as our top three:

Cheryl

Barb

Donna

Very nice, ladies.  I particularly like how the three choices represent three completely different occasions.  One inspiration, several different interpretations.  Thank you so much to everyone who played along and a rousing cheer for our top three!  Congrats, all!

Challenge #316

Hello and happy Tuesday to everyone!  
It is raining here -but that is a very good thing.  The rain is washing the last bits of snow away and we can really have spring.  I hope you are enjoying sunshine and good weather wherever you live.

Our sketch this week is from Donna and is a vibrant, happy design.  The optional theme is A Burst of Colour.  I guess I was influenced by spring.

And here are the cards from our team:

Maria

Sarah T.

Vicki

Donna

Kaylin

Wow!  What a burst of colour!  Makes me think of spring.  These are beautiful cards and great inspirations for our viewers.  I know everyone will want to make a card after seeing these awesome ones.
