Laura used "Dawn" from The Stamping Boutique

We had a warm sunny weekend here in the Rocky Mountains! I filled my days off spending time with my family, shopping a little, pampering myself, and creating. It was the perfect weekend. Thank you to all our wonderful participants, we love you! This weeks sponsor at 2S4Y is The Stamping Boutique. Our Outstanding design team made the most beautiful card using The Stamping Boutiques digital stamps.

I've worked for InStyleStamps, Squigglefly, and TheDigiShack. I'm a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in my community. I have quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but I love them all. I'm truly blessed.

"The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality,as well as, their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week.

Good Morning crafty bloggers! I can tell you all had a great week because you brought your best to the gallery. I cannot even begin to tell you how many amazing cards I saw this week...Everything from modern and funky to aged and vintage - and then some in between. This tells me that you all still love scallops and that they are not going anywhere any time soon :)

I was thinking that since so many people played along with us this week some of you might have missed a few cards that really caught my eye. When you have a moment take a peek at these awesome designs:

Kerriann, Michelle, Arielle, Courtney, Genevieve,  Michelle, Lea, Chupa, Tracy, Annie, Amy, Ellen, Michelle and Debbie

and from former 2 Sketches 4 You Designers (man these gals are talented!!):

Diane was one of the earlier players in the challenge this week and raised the bar with this adorable card.  I love how the patterned paper is perfectly coordinated and of course those news print scallops are just too gorgeous!  You did a wonderful job with the sketch Diane and we were so surprised to learn you are a first time here at 2S4Y!  We hope you continue to play so that we can enjoy your amazing talent :)

Mothers Day was so much fun!  I got to speak to my Mom (twice) in South Africa and my Mother in law in Canada then it was my turn to get spoiled.  My family treated me to breakfast in bed, handmade cards, flowers and a delicious lunch out.  What a fantastic day to honor our mothers and every one we know that is a mother.  I hope you were able to do the same on your day and that it was a good one :)

Card of the Week & Fab 5!

I know I am a little late with this post - so sorry everybody.  I wanted to comment on all your cards and simply ran out of time yesterday!  This morning I grabbed my coffee and settled down on the couch to peruse the gallery.  We have have a perfect day here in Colorado and after all the inspiration from you all I am ready to craft!  2S4Y is a wonderful place to gather and be creative and to have a glimpse into your lives.   I saw blimps over golf courses, pages of your homes and pictures of you competing in races for good causes.  One of the best parts of this community is actually meeting you in person - it feels like we know each other already through your cards every week and your blog posts so keep em coming!

This week one of our very own, Shanna Vinyard, is giving away her very own Bo Bunny sticker creations to the winner of Card of the Week.  We have also teamed up with Scrapbook.com, who sells a wide variety of Bo Bunny products, for a $35 gift certificate to the winner!  So here you go ladies and gentlemen:

Card of the Week

Lisa

There are so many things I love about this card that I actually need to list them:

3. the kraft details

4. that darling sentiment

Congratulations Lisa you are our winner this week.  I am certainly going try and start each day with "whee"
