Featured Stamper #67

It was another tough week of choosing a Featured Stamper from all the entries from last week's Throwdown, but I kept going back to the beautiful clean and simple design of this card by fancypantz! Please email me through my blog profile so I can send you a Featured Stamper badge for your blog!

And since I had such a tough time deciding, I chose five entries for honorable mention! They are...

Mona * Carla * Lesley * Linda * Rosemary

Thanks everyone for your fabulous entries! Stay tuned for a great combo from Broni tomorrow!

Featured Stamper #66

Wow, you all really challenged ME in finding a winner for this week's Featured Stamper!! I read a lot of comments about how you would have never put these colors together, but you liked the final outcome--that makes me smile! And now, here's the card that made me smile the most:

Our Little Inspirations - Carol

Isn't this lovely? I just love the paper she used as well as those beautifully-embossed flowers. Simple yet elegant! So Carol, your CTD Featured Stamper blinkie will soon be on its way to add to your blog! And here are a few more that I just had to highlight:

Girls, your cards were all just wonderful! In fact, everyone's cards were very special this week. And although I didn't choose Lacey's card, you need to check out her blog entry for a very heart-wrenching story.
Thanks for playing with me and standing up to the challenge! Make sure you come back tomorrow for Tammy's color throwdown--just wait till you feast your eyes on this one!!!
