Stampers Showcase and a Little something new!

Okay ~ This is getting SO DARN FUN!!!

The buzz from your sensational seven operators is that the challenge is no longer for you ~ it's for us to only pick 5 cards for the showcase, and this week, we had to settle with 6! Just so you know, we had so many cards on the list, we almost had to post them all! Isn't that fun?!?

Also ~ this week there will be a new sketchbook showing up on the side bar. This is a document that has 8 sketches per sheet, and you can print the old ones, so when you need to make a card, you can use it as a resource. Click here for a sneak peek! As a side note, I know that the sketches may print a tiny bit fuzzy, but I was trying to keep the file sizes small so it won't be difficult to download! I hope you love them.

Speaking of LOVE, here is your stampers showcase for this week! Amazing work everyone! Please click on the thumbnail in this post to visit the artist's blog and leave them some LOVE by posting a comment to their blogs!
