Winners will be selected randomly and announced Thursday, August 8th. (Note: USA addresses only, please, due to shipping costs.) Here's what you could win:

Stampendous Surfer and Sandcastle Kiddos • Dreamweaver Hot Air Balloon, Ice Cream Cones, Summer, Mosaic Swirls, Bird Words, and Sandcastle stencils

OK...I am back on track with summer designs after my detour of my Autumn creation (hehee...gotta love those Indian Summer days). This is the time of year that we begin releasing our new designs from the summer CHA show and my design team sent me packets of wonderful creations to showcase our stencils. Louise Healy made a card using the kitty face that was such an inspiration to me. Thank you Louise...although I didn't CASE your card you inspired me to use the same stencils with the Stampendous stamp seen below. Really appreciate all of the team's work when we are in "crunch time"...again thanks for being so supportive!

I began by stamping the Stampendous Agapanthus clear stamp (SSC1111) several times onto a bright green paper using a watermark type of ink, then sprinkled it with the fine teal embossing powder from the Encrusted jewel teal kit (EJK06), heated it and then spritzed the entire area with Blue Lagoon Memories Mist (MM20) and wiped it off of the Agapanthus immediately. This gave the floral design a bright almost florescent appearance. The Purrr-fect Day sentiment (LG741) and the new kitty face stencil (LS1014) were then paste-embossed with the Matte Yellow Embossing Paste (DMYP) onto the agapanthus. My plan is to send this card to the random challenge winner for the month of July!

Now, hop on over to the next in line. Don't forget to leave some love for a chance to win, and just 'cuz it's nice!
