As you read this, several of us are on our way to Salt Lake City, Utah, for the annual Stampin' Up! Convention, where we will act just like kids in a candy shop!  You'll be able to hear the squeals on the east coast when we see or hear about some new goody that Stampin' Up! has for us!

So why not make the rest of the next two weeks "For the Kids"?!  If we're acting like them, we might as well make something that reminds us of our own childhood as we celebrate the childhood of the many children around us.

Thanks for joining us to see what our talented design team has to offer this week.  We invite you to join in the fun, make your own card or other project, "For the Kids," and enter it in our biweekly challenge competition!

     Fun stuff!  Love all those balloons!  We hope you'll enter this week's challenge with your Stampin' Up! Only paper craft creations!  Here's a short reminder of the "rules": Stampin' Up! products only, a new creation in response to our challenge, and no links to posts that are selling anything.  You can find all the finer details on the sidebar at the top left.

Our "Summer Anniversary" Winners!

     Our design team had a lot of fun looking at all the lovely creations in response to our last challenge to create something to celebrate a Summer Anniversary.  Thanks to all our entrants, especially our top three for the week!

Patti Corriere WOWed us with her expertly colored and shaded design, with a beautiful layout accented with so much detail.

Kelly Birrell used texture and layers to create an elegant card, perfectly accented with pearl embellishments.

Jennifer Weide's shading of the central flower image really made it stand out as the focal point of her beautifully laid out card.
