Here we go!  Here are our top three picks for week 11.  All of cards are awesome and each week we have a REALLY HARD time picking our top 3. 

Congratulations, ladies!  Please feel free to paste a copy of the Top 3 badge on your blog to broadcast to the world how talented you are!!  And thanks to everyone who played with us this week.

CHALLENGE #12

Hi to all!  It's time for another challenge at Try Stampin' and I have to say that I found this sketch extremely difficult.  And I created the sketch!LOL!!.  Oh well, that's life.  Sometimes we need to stretch ourselves as far as we can --- and I did that this time.  I am sure you will have a much easier time of it than I did and I cannot wait to see your projects.

So, here goes.....First the sketch..........


And now the inspiration from the Stampin' Friends.........

FORMATTING CHANGE

Just a note to tell you that I will be changing our posting format.  The new challenges will post on Tuesday mornings as they have from the beginning.  We will not be announcing the previous week's top 3 until Wednesday mornings now.  That way, it will be easier to find the challenge each week and I will keep you in suspense for one more day.
Happy Stamping, everyone!

SAYING GOOD-BYE

I am sad to say that Sandi has resigned from our Stampin' Friends team.  I will  miss her and her awesome talent.  Sandi has decided to persue other passions and I wish her the best in all her endeavours.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday!  Sometimes the simplest things prove to be the best.  I feel this way about this week's sketch.  The Stampin' Friends have created such a diverse range of examples for you from a very basic sketch.  It is amazing to me how our minds all think differently when we see the same thing.  I cannot wait to see what you come up with -how your eyes will see this sketch.  So, here goes.................
