#tgifc53 - CASE your Fave!

Welcome!
We have winners to announce  before we jump into this weeks challenge...
Last week we chose Marisa Gunn as the big winner of tgifc51, Whoop Whoop!
And for this week our winner is Denita Wright! Don't forget to check out their beautiful creations on our Winner's Circle page! 

We are super excited to have a brand new monthly challenge for you!

So normally this would be our Remix week but we decided to switch things up. Gotta keep ya on your toes! This new challenge is all about being inspired by everyone that has shared their creations with us this month.

Its a good time to grab your favorite beverage & browse through the April entries & design team cards. Once you find one (or more) that really inspire you GO ahead & start stamping away! When you post your card please link back to the originals so we can take a peek at which ones you "picked"!


Also don't forget to leave some love in the blogesphere as you hop around!


Here are the cards our Design Team created! Make sure you click on their names to check out which cards they were inspired by.....
