#TGIF115 Color Challenge! Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide, and Berry Burst

Hmmmm, I am thinking that it would be really nice to be enjoying a Lime and Berry cold drink in front of a Tranquil Tide instead of enduring the crazy heat of summer so many of us are dealing with right now! Maybe it's time to relax and refresh with a bright, happy color combo this week.

Thank you all so much for your GORGEOUS projects last week.

We'd like to congratulate Sara Nell as last week's winner!

Sometimes y'all make it reallllly hard to choose!

#TGIFC114 Designer Spotlight - Elizabeth Price

 Finding inspiration in the projects of other talented stampers is often easy. It can be especially easy when you are looking at the work of the fabulous Elizabeth Price!

Elizabeth is pretty amazing! Pinking cards to share with y'all for inspiration is HARD - everything she creates is wonderful!

A very special thanks to everyone who participated last week in our technique challenge! We have a TIE this week for the "win"!!!

#TGIFC113 Technique Time - Bokeh

A Japanese term for the subjective aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas of a photographic image, Bokeh (pronounced "bo-ke" with the "ke" as in kettle) has been a fun stamping technique that has been floating around for a while, and our designers are giving it a try this week.

Before we go on to see what our team created for you this week. Thank you to everyone who played along with our "Let's Hear it for the Boys" challenge - GREAT entries! A special shout out to Jenn Frost for this card, which was voted as our winner!

 Jenn Frost!!!
