Create with Connie and Mary

CCMC247 Top 3 Picks

Another week with so many entries that were awesome and made it hard for us to pick just 3!!!  But...here goes...out Top 3 Picks!

 

Deena Boos

 

Patti Corriere

 

Shana Gaff

 

Thanks to everyone who played along this week!  Stay tuned for a GREAT color challenge tomorrow and come back! 

We do have a favor to ask...Word Verification makes it very difficult for the Challenge Team to leave comments for all our players and we love to do so!  It is very frustrating to try to read the letters and numbers that the system generates...sometimes taking 5-6 tries to get it right.  If you would consider switching from Word Verification to Moderated comments on your blog, that would make our lives so much easier!  If you need help, please email us...I'm sure one of us is using that type of blog platform and can help.  Thanks!

Winners, grab our TOP 3 badge for your blog and show off the fact that you were our Top 3 Pick!

Okay...and now for a little bit about my 2nd Preview Set.  I decided to use the set Baby Boutique, but as you can tell from my cards...not a single 'baby' card to be found!  The first time I saw this set in the catalog I KNEW it would be GREAT for cards other than 'baby' cards so I guess this would be the "UN" Baby Boutique card set!

Now if you remember each week the design team uses the sketch for one of their cards.  The 'sketch' I (and our other design team members) are using fora card today is this...

I thought it would be great to use a nice simple sketch this week! I bet you can EASILY tell which of the cards was my sketch card!  The sailboat is ADORABLE!!!  And that turtle...DANG...it is just soooo cute!  I couldn't resist doing a 'belated' birthday card with it!  I will have to say my three very favorite images in the set are the Boat, the Turtle and that DELIGHTFUL little bird!  How cute is that card!  So...now I bet you would like all the directions for making my set!  Just download my project file and you will be good to go!

Oh...and let's not forget...BLOG CANDY!!!!  Head over to my blog StamperCamper's Corner and leave me a comment and one lucky person will win a FREE subscription to Create with Connie and Mary Card "Create"tions for All Occasions!
