Featured Stampers: SDC9 - What Summer Means To You

A BIG thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy summer schedule to play along with our challenge this week.  It sure has been fun reviewing all of the entries as they have been posted.  You are all such talented individuals!!

As the hostess of this challenge, I have the impossible job of selecting a few cards to be featured!  The projects were so diverse and beautifully executed... and a few people managed to finish multiple projects - all just amazing!!!

I definitely have to send a shout out to MaryAnne Walters whose two energetic entries must have taken the equivalent of my crafty time for an entire month!  The results are beautiful, MaryAnne... thank you so much for sharing all of the details in separate posts too - fantastic!

Summertime Card by Miek

Next, I'd like to highlight the beautiful work of Miek Vugts-Coenders.  The color choices for her hot! hot! hot! card are so warm and vibrant, the  clever minimalist composition is very eye catching and use of white pen and stitching is simply charming and effective.  Very nice, Miek!

Shine Card by Sandra

This adorable card by Sandra features two nifty ideas - shiny sunglasses and braided ribbon!  The color scheme is soft and subtle and the layout is just precious.... a fabulously summery card.  Sweet, Sandra!

Again, thank you to everyone who cut boatloads of tiny images with sharp little scissors, glued for hours, sponged and stippled every edge and corner, completed multiple projects, and included the most ingenious ideas into their creations!  We love all of your works of art!

Be sure to check back tomorrow for the winner of this week's draw as well as the unveiling of the next Stampotique Designer's Challenge!

Rubber smiles,
