Prize Friday: Inspired By Love Challenge Winner Announcement!
Hello Crafters!
We hope you are having a lovely day where ever you may be. We were blessed with some quasi warm weather in the beginning of the week but now it's cold and rainy again. I'm glad we at least got a small taste of spring weather to remind us of what's to come. It wont be long now before the flowers start beaming through the soil and the trees are teaming with life! Isn't is interesting that we have Valentine's Day, the most lovey-dovey day of the year, in the dead of winter? It's kind of nice! And since love is in the air, we wanted to announce this week's winner of our "Inspired By Love Challenge"! We had so many glorious entries for this challenge and of course we had to pick a winner at random. We want to thank everyone who participated. We plan on having more fun craft challenges in the future and we hope you'll be a part of it.
This week's challenge winner is Renee VanEpps. Renee created a number of cards for the challenge but here is the one that was chosen as the winner! Created using our Once Upon a Springtime collection, this card has such a simple and sweet message.
Thank you Renee VanEpps! Please contact us at info@g45papers.com to claim your prize. We thought we'd share with you some of the other gorgeous cards that were created for the contest. We hope they help inspire you to create something special for someone you love.
Here is a stunning card by Yvonne Yam using Once Upon a Springtime. Look at all the amazing detail on this card! So bright and happy!
Here is a lovely card by Suzanne Bouchard using our Steampunk Debutant collection. Simple and yet breathtaking! Beautiful work, Suzanne!
Sharron Solberg created this vibrant beauty with our Steampunk Debutant collection. I love the look of the frames against the glimmering metal. So stunning!
Barbie Sanchez created this card using our Once Upon a Springtime collection. I love the amazing rosette! This card has so many pretty layers. It's such a gem!
We wish we had room to show everyone's card creations. They were all so beautiful. Thank you so much to everyone who made a card. You can see them all at our Facebook Fan Page. Keep up the amazing work, crafters! You bring sun into our lives even on a cloudy day!

Lovin this one! A while back I was looking for a birthday card for a friend's son. I wanted a real ball busting card. I had zero luck finding what I was looking for. I told a group of friends about this problem one night while we were having a few drinks. We proceeded to get smashed and make up a bunch of greeting cards we found funny. I had been writing down the cards we made up and the next morning I read them. Much to my surprise the cards were still funny even when sober.
