Great cards, ladies!  It never ceases to amaze me how talented you are.  Thank you so much for being on our team.  I know our viewers will be inspired by your cards to create some awesome ones of their own.  And I cannot wait to see them.

Challenge #311

Hi! Welcome back!

Last week, I mentioned that there was something special to me about this week.  Well, first, my husband and I celebrated out 45th anniversary on Sunday and that was pretty special.....but that is NOT what I was talking about.
No, it is Try Stampin' on Tuesday's SEVENTH birthday this week!  Happy birthday to us. There have been lots of designers and lots of changes but I think we are still going strong.  To celebrate this milestone, we have a giveaway.  We will draw one lucky winner from all the cards for challenge #311.  That person will be a guest designer for challenge #314 and will also win a goodie bag.  So, I hope lots of you get busy and help us with out festivities.

Now for our challenge:

Here are my three favourites:

Janice

DeAnn

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Challenge #310

Good morning, all.  I hope your week was a good one.  It was busy here with volleyball finals, basketball finals, my niece and nephew turned 17, and a cruise information session at work. And next weekend, we are off to Sudbury for volleyball and basketball Northern Ontario finals.  Whew, I am tired just thinking about it. But enough about me.............

Our sketch this week is another courtesy of Vicki with the optional theme "Sweet Thoughts".  I know Valentines has passed but one should always think "sweet thoughts".

And here are the cards from our team:

Sarah T.

Beautiful cards, ladies!  I LOVE each and every one of them.  You have  shown our viewers several different interpretations of our sketch and I am certain they will come up with several more.  You are the greatest team on the web.  Thank you so much!

I hope everyone can find some time to play along with our sketch.  You can enter below or on our Facebook page.  As always, you have two weeks to get your card in and we cannot wait to see what you come up with.

Oh, and, by the way, next week is a special one for me so make sure you check in with our February 28th post.  Happy card making, everyone! 

Challenge #307 Favourite Cards

Good morning!  It is Wednesday and that means you get to see our picks for the top cards from challenge #307.  Only thing is...I will no longer be choosing the top cards.  From now on, this post will showcase our FAVOURITE cards.  The quality of the entries we get is very high and it is impossible to choose cards which are better than others. So, from now on, we will show you the cards which melt our hearts, make us smile, show exceptional technique or craftsmanship, or implement interesting supplies.  In that way, card makers of every experience level have an equal chance of making the list.  

So, here are this week's choices......

Angela

Nancy

DeAnn

Lisa Lynn

Cathy

Congrats and hugs, ladies!  You made our list for this week.  Thanks to all who played along and I hope to see your work again next week!
