Hello to everyone out there.  Hope all is well with you and your families.  
Our sketch this week is courtesy of Donna and the optional theme is "Summer Heat".  You are not required to use the theme; it is just a guideline (in case you need a little nudge).
Here is the sketch:
And here are the cards created by our team to inspire you:






Very cool cards, team!  Great use of the sketch AND the theme!  I am certain our viewers will be inspired by your work and I cannot wait to see what they come up with.

Challenge #327

Good morning!  Hope all is well for everyone.

We have another great sketch from Kaylin this week AND we have a guest designer.  A few weeks back, we ran a contest to choose a guest designer (chosen by random generator) and Karen Finkle was our lucky winner.  Here is what Karen says about herself:
My first exposure to stamping was in 2011 and I was not interested. In 2012 I was invited to an "open house" and made four cards. I bought Lovely as a Tree, Plant Hope and the sample inks and sample cardstock. We traveled in an RV in 2012 and 2013 so I didn't make too many cards. In 2014 our RVing came to a screeching halt due to my husband's health. For stress relief, I started working on cards. In January 2016 I became a Stampin' Up Demonstrator and I was my sole customer. In March 2017 I resigned as a demonstrator. However, I feel like it won't be too long before I do it again as I love challenges as it gets those creative juices flowing! I am thankful that CherylAnn gave me the opportunity to be a Guest Designer on Try Stampin' - Or Not - On Tuesday
.
This is our sketch:
The Optional Technique is "All Bolds or All Pastels".

Here is Karen's card:

And the cards from our team:







Great cards, ladies!  Very inspirational.  I am certain our viewers will want to play along after seeing your cards.  Thank you so much for being on our team and thank you to Karen for joining us this week.

Followers, as always, you have two weeks to join in the fun and you can enter below or on our Facebook page.  Happy creating, all!

Top Cards for Challenge #323

WoW!  Let me start by saying it again....WoW!  Lots of great entries for this challenge and a very difficult decision for the team.  But here are our top three:



As always, these cards are in random order.  They are all three great cards as were all the other entries.  Made it really hard to choose.  Thanks to all who played along.

Now for the last item of business.  I mentioned that one of the card makers  from this challenge would be a guest designer for challenge #327.  Random generator chose and the winner is Karen Finkle.  Congratulations, Karen.  You can either email me or message me on Facebook and I will send you a copy of the sketch and the due date, etc.
Thanks to everyone who played along this week.  And happy creating!
