SUO Challenge 115, Valentines – Our Top 3!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our challenge to feature a project with a Valentine Wish! Thanks especially to our Top 3 whom we felt did the best job of capturing our theme for the week!  Click on the pictures of their projects to go to their blogs or galleries for more details.

 

Michelle Long.  What a stunning card this is!  It's so much fun being taken back to the days when every Valentine had some lace on it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cindy Brumbaugh.  This is a beautifully made gift bag!  Everything about it coordinates so well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jenny Gauthier.  The black heart-dotted background just makes the bit of red in this card "pop."  And the hand stitching is just lovely!

SUO Challenge 114, the Dotty Challenge – Our Top 3!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our challenge to feature a project with Dots – of any kind!. Thanks especially to our Top 3 whom we felt did the best job of capturing our theme for the week!  Click on the pictures of their projects to go to their blogs or galleries for more details.

 

Marcee Rodgers.  What a beautiful Clean and Simple (CAS) card using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set for the dots of this challenge.  The colors that Marcee used, along with the Linen Thread and the sequins, did a great job of setting off the greeting as the focal point.

 

 

 

 

Chris Slogar.  We really liked Chris' take on the Bokeh effect that's currently very popular with crafters.  How clever to use the various sizes of punched circles to make the dots that are the feature of this challenge!

 

 

 

 

Linda Callahan.  We were so glad to see the Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Lotus Blossom, featured in one of our Top 3!  Linda cut out the main image and then accented it not only with the dots on the Designer Series Paper dots, but also with the textured front of the card.  What fun!

SUO Challenge 113, PLxSU – Congratulations to All!

Thanks to everyone who submitted an entry in our challenge to use Stampin' Up! Project Life products.  With so few entries from which to choose our Top 3, you can imagine that we had a hard time, especially as all of the projects were wonderful.

So we're happy to thank each one of you individually for your projects.  I hope those of you who would like some ideas for using your Project Life by Stampin' Up (PLxSU) will find some inspiration in these projects.

On a bit of a side note – I have to tell you that I cannot remember any of these three stampers being in our Top 3.  If they have been, it was a long time ago  Such fun to get to know some new stampers, and I hope you'll click on their links and comment on their blogs!  And for the winners – please don't forget to pick up a copy of the code for our Top 3, down on the left, just above "Archives."

 

Denise Willerton.  Denise's Punch Art Olaf is so much fun an so clever! This is just adorable and had us all smiling each time we looked at it!
