Spring Inspiration

What do you do when you are struggling to find some creativity? It happens to all of us at some point or another. Peggy reaches for a sketch, and she created such an adorable card. I love the colors of her DP and she created such depth on the chicks with her coloring!

My creativity was waning so I was inspired to try following a sketch!

Here is another gorgeous Spring-themed card by Debbie. I love the bright colors, and cluster of embellishments!

Thanks for Hopping With Us — Giveaway Winners Announced

Thank you so much for hopping around to all of the Designer’s blogs to see the new Spring and Easter images. We have two random winners from the blog hop, and each of them have won a $5 Gift Voucher to designed2delight.com.

First Winner is #21. Lorie from Live, Love, Laugh, Create 2.

You have an amazing design team Faith! I love spring colors and images that just make people smile. Thanks for sharing!

Second Winner is #10. Kathy B from Sparkling Stampers.

So glad I stumbled upon your site today as I was surfing on my holiday at home. I don’t really have a “type” of card for spring…I make cards as I need them, except that I just started doing challenges last month, so perhaps I will develop a “spring” card type. I love your images! Will be back to purchase!

 

Some of the Design Team members are also giving away an image from comments left during the blog hop. I will update the winner’s list as I receive them. :)

Update:

Here are the rest of the Blog Hop Winners. You can email me with an image of your choice. :) Congratulations!
