Last week we had a great turnout, we all had so much fun seeing what you could create using Kim's sketch and your Stampotique stamps. It's always hard choosing favorites, but here's Kim's favorites from the last challenge:

(you can e-mail her at khowardga@gmail.com to obtain if you would like to display the favorites badge on your blog)

Debbie:

Besides this being one of my favorite sentiments, I love that she included that paper as background, makes the sentiment even funnier!

Annes Art:

I really like that she used corrugated board and that the owl is sitting on the fence. Great splotches of colors throughout.

Barb Foster:

The coloring, the colors, the background-it all comes together so wonderfully!

AND the random winner for last week's challenge of a $30 gift certificate for Stampotique stamps is:

#8 Brenda Brown

Welcome our May Guest Designer: Nine

Welcome our May Guest Designer, known in the stamp world as Nine. Here is a little information about her:

My name is Nine and I live in France with my husband, my two daughters and I'm waiting for my third baby in July. I'm 30 years old and I'm a cop.

I am very happy to be the guest of this blog for May because I am a fan of the team!

I discovered the scrapbooking in 2006 and since then I have been totally addicted! I love stamps but unfortunately Stampotique is not easy to find in France.

Nine created an Easter ensemble using Grow Girl 9069 for her focal image. I love how these look together, what a great gift basket to give to someone.

For my first project of the month, I made 3 little things for Easter : a card, a candy bag and a candle using the same stamp.

For candy bag, I use the mask technique to create a field of sunflower.

For the candle, I stamped the sunflower on white tissue paper with memento black ink and I coloured with markers.

I cut the stamped image and I applied on a white candle then I put on it wax paper before use heat gun to fix the image on the candle.

Hop on over to Nine's blog and leave her some love or leave some here. Didn't she do a fabulous first project??
