Our Weekly Winners Challenge #17!

Thank you to everyone that joined in our Dynamic Duos Challenge #17.  We loved seeing your Monochromatic creations with Concord Crush and Wisteria Wonder! We are thrilled that we are seeing so many submissions each week and that you are supporting our challenge blog! All of us here at the Design Team want to thank you for your continued support!

It is time to share some of the submissions that caught the eye of the Design Team. It's Lisa and I have the honor of selecting our Diva Dynamo this week. So without further delay, I am excited to share that our Diva of the week is: 

Amy White of White House Stamping!

Amy's card is oozing with warmth and coziness ~ it speaks home to me! Her subtle touches of shimmer and the whimsical curly sentiment are the perfect compliments to the steamy mugs of hot chocolate. Her pretty little bow and sweet gingerbread man complete the package. Congrats Amy on being my pick as our Diva Dynamo!

Now, let's check out the beautiful creations that have been selected by our Design Team as Dynamic Darlings!

The Dynamos have chosen their favorites for the week, known as the Dynamic Darlings!!! If you are a Dynamic Darling, please feel free to grab the badge above for your blog.

Guest Designers at Dynamic Duos

Wow, so far the submissions this week have been coming in and they look amazing! There are so many consistent players who have been joining us week by week...thank you for playing along and for making our challenge fun!

Anne Marie and I went over the past 16 Challenges and we decided to invite three guest designers to join us for the month of September! These ladies are all new to a design team, they have all been playing along with us and they are stunning crafters!

We would like to introduce and welcome September's Guest Designing Dynamos...Allyson, Karen and Michelle! 

Please click their names to visit their blogs...

Allyson Andersen

Hi!  My name is Allyson Andersen.  I am a mid-life girl who lives in a quiet little Utah suburb, surrounded by farmland.  My husband and I married in 2001, and we are homeschooling parents of 3 young children.  I began basic card making in 2003 when introduced to it during a local church women’s group meeting.  I’ve taken up the hobby more seriously - i.e. spending a ridiculous amount of money on supplies! - only in the last 5 years.  I’ve been blogging about my creative pursuits since January 2011.  This is my first experience like this with a challenge blog, and I am very excited to be a guest designer at Dynamic Duos!

Karen Aicken

Greetings from beautiful Alberta Canada. I bought my first rubber stamp when my son was 3 weeks old, and I've been stamping and making cards ever since. He is now 23 - so I haven't purchased a greeting card since 1989. My husband and I love to spend time at our cabin in the mountains, with our three dogs. Our 3 children are all out on their own, and we welcomed our 2nd grandchild in July!  I don't have a definitive style since I like so many different looks, but I prefer to make 'Mail Friendly' cards and I do love foam tape. I'm really excited to be playing with the talented Design Team for September!

                                                                  

Michelle Bala

Hello there! First, let me say how happy I am to be here with such talented ladies. Thank you! My name is Michelle and I live in New York City. My husband and I have three wonderful children! My two favorite things are stamps and pattern papers. Anytime I can incorporate the two I am very happy!  I began cardmaking almost three years ago and shortly after that I stared my Blog. I have been addicted ever since!

Thank you ladies! We are looking forward to having you on the team with us for September. 

Thank you for stopping by! To play along with our current challenge, please CLICK HERE!

Smiles,
Lesley Croghan and Anne Marie Hile
