Our Guest Designer Ria Montefalcon used our new Sweet Summer stamp set to create this yummy card - I love how she used pink fruit slices to create a fun background too! 

Love this bunch of watercolored fruit by Samantha Mann using our new Sweet Summer stamp set! The colors are so soft and pretty!

Since there were so many beautiful cards, we chose three more as our favorite picks! If you see your card below, contact us if you'd like to get a "favorite" badge for your blog!

This Winston card by Kelli using Campfire Tails is super fun!  We really liked the ruler added in - for winston to measure how big his fish is! And the little cork behind the sentiment is so fun!  Check out her blog, Time out for Stamps to see more of Kelli's work!

 Annie used all three textures on her card - cork, metal and wood! She stamped Cork kitties, a wooden gift bag and a metal balloon! All using our  Newton's Birthday Bash stamp set! Annie has more fun cards on her blog, Lab Hands!

Diane had the CUTEST idea on this card - she used our frame stamp from the Around the House set and cut it off to make it into a table!  She also added some flowers to the table using our Versatile Vases stamp set! You can visit Diane and see her other great cards at her blog, Peaceful Lane!

Thanks so much!
