Peek-A-Boo- Hide Your Sentiment!

Good Wednesday to you all! It's time for a new challenge to begin here:) First, I want to extend a huge thank you to all of you who played along with us for the last challenge, it's the most participants we've had and we love seeing what you come up with, so thank you! I have a couple of fun things to share with you, but first let's get to the new challenge.

Hide your sentiment, or part of your sentiment! Hide it behind a flap, have it pull out, it's up to you, just have some hidden element on your card. The DT creations are sure to inspire you as each one is amazing:)

We are starting something new this week, your entry is now eligible to be our featured project and will be showcased right here on the blog along with the new challenge! So keep showing us your stuff as you never know it might be you who gets to be our featured artist!

This week's featured artist is Maureen with her stunning goldfish card. I absolutely loved the color, overall layout and the detail she put into that adorable fish is something else! Congrats Maureen!




And now for your amazing DT creations to inspire you! *Remember, you don't need to have any blooms to play along with us*

Animal Fun

Wonderful creations from all of you that joined us these last 2 weeks! We love seeing what you come up with:) First, let me announce the winner of the give away for posting the Paper Blooms logo on your blog. The winner is...............

Kimberly!

Congrats to you and please email me with your mailing address:)

Now onto the next challenge:) Make a project using any kind of animal as your focal point and add a puny sentiment if you want. Sounds fun, right?! For the next 2 challenges we have a guest designer joining us. Here is a little bit about her:

My name is Sherry but I also go by sherryann which is what my family and friends call me (it is a combination of first and middle name). I live in Minneapolis with my husband Joe, my son Justin and a very loud Green Cheeked Conure Parrot named Birdie. I was recently laid off after 30 years at the same company and this has given me the opportunity to spend many hours creating cards and scrapbooks when not looking for a new job. I work part-time (2 times a month) at Anchor Paper in St, Paul, MN where I also teach classes. I have enjoyed making cards and scrapbooking for about 10 years now. My favorite paper companies are BasicGrey, Cosmo Cricket, and Graphic 45. Please stop by my blog and say hello at Button Junkie.

Here are the inspiring DT's creations. We can't wait to see what you come up with!

*Due to issues again with Mr.Linky please post your card link in the comments section. Thank you!*
