Becky's FAVE

Irene's fabulous card would win any coffee-lover's heart!  She creates that gorgeous cup cozy using the Poinsettia Blooms stamp set.  She beautifully colored flowers look striking against the light blue background.  She then adds striped banners using pattern paper to complete her card. 

Debbie's FAVE

Melanie uses the sketch to create a pretty in pink card!  She uses pale pink lace to create her stripes which she places atop a frilly die cut background. Then she adds a scalloped circle and places her feline from the Newton Loves Cake stamp set.  So sweet!

Diane's FAVE

Vicki  uses the Confetti stencil to create this bright, festive background that she breaks up to create the background. She then adds a red frame using the Framework die on top of the brightly striped paper.  Then she adds a celebratory Newton from the Newton's New Year stamp set. 

Emily's FAVE

Katrina creates this fabulous sunset using the SuncScape stencil.  To create the stripes of the sketch, she uses the Waves stencil using the colors as her sunset.  Using the Land Borders die, she creates grass on which Newton from the Newton's Antic stamp set can romp and play!

Sue's FAVE

Bobbi creates this striking and dramatic background on which those darling moose from the Moose Mountain stamp and dies can snowboard down the mountain!  The snowflakes throughout make for a fun winter scene and the speech bubble is a fabulous way to add the sentiment.  Bravo!

Thank you for playing!
