Good morning!
Thanks to all who entered this week. Your cards are all so amazing.  I am always surprised how we each see something different in the same sketch. And our top three really showcase that fact.  Here they are:
Congratulations, ladies, on your beautiful cards!  Please feel free to grab our badge for your blogs.  And I hope to see everyone back next week.

Our Design Team - Stampin' Friends

Good day to you all!
This is an exciting  (and sad) time for Try Stampin'. 
 Two of our designers have decided to retire from the team.  Kristen Conant and Debbie Miller are pursuing other avenues and I wish them the best.
As you are aware, we recently had a design team call and the response was overwhelming.  As a result, some very talented ladies have joined the team. I am pleased to welcome:







I am certain that these amazing crafters  and the other members of the Friends will inspire you every week to create amazing projects of your own.

A very warm welcome aboard, ladies!

OKay, it is now up to you.  I hope you have been inspired.

Good morning, crafters!
We have another great challenge for you this week.  Plus we have added something new -a piggyback.  Here is the sketch:
The piggyback is to use red on your project somewhere.  Now, you do not have to include the piggyback to enter our challenge, it just adds a little more fun!

Challenge # 91

Good morning, all!
Welcome to Try Stampin'.
Today I have some business to take care of before I get to the sketch.
I am very sad to say that Mynnette has found it necessary to resign from the design team.  I am sure you will agree that her talents will be missed.  And I will miss her total dedication to the site.  On a happier note, she said that she will pop in from time to time and do a sketch when she can.

Now to brighter news.  Paula Reid has decided to join the Stampin' Friends team beginning next week.  Paula is a very prolific stamper and never seems to run out of ideas.  
She will bring a fresh approach to the site and new and exciting inspiration each week.
Welcome,Paula!

Now it is time for our sketch for the week.  Here it is:
Isn't it a great one?  Thanks again Jenn.

And now the examples from the team:






I am sure these examples have inspired you to come up with a card (or other project) of your own.  I am excited to see it!
Thanks for stopping by!
