SDC52: Oodles of Doodles

Spring is definitely in the air as we evidenced by the bright and airy collection of entries this past challenge. Gez had fun picking out 3 favorites and I think we all agree, when we are picking our favorites, it is one of the hardest parts of being the hostess.

Gez's favorites are:

Kaz is our hostess over at Stampotique Designer's Challenge today and here is what she has challenged us with:

"I can't draw and that's why I love stamping! I'm trying to work on my lettering, but some of the Design Team can do either or both and I am regularly in awe of their talent. I used to be frightened of doing anything freehand, but now I can't stop doodling and if I can do it, anyone can. Whether it's a few dots to highlight or a simple border, right through to drawing an accent on a stamp, I'd like you to do something freehand on your project."

Only creations using Stampotique stamps will be eligible for the prize.

Here are our designer's doodling away:
