ric#4 Winners

Just popping in today to announce the winners of ric#4!  Our challenges run on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, and there is occasionally a month with a fifth Tuesday.  January is one of those months, so today we have no new challenge to share....but make sure to come back on Tuesday, February 7th!

It was fun to see cards with so much color right after our black and white challenge!  Here's who we were inspired by:


Our Fabulous Fashionistas are:
Emily Frasier

Now, if you are up on your fashion, you would know that Resort Collections for 2012 were shown months ago.   I will usually choose the most recent, fresh off of the runway designs for our challenges, but I couldn't pass this one up.  Rainbow never goes out of style :)

Here's how the DT was inspired, using some fabulous stamps from this week's sponsor, Clear and Simple Stamps- we got to play with the Lucky Charm set!

Angeline Yong - The Creation of Creativity

Cristina Kowalczyk - My Paper Secret

Laura Bassen - Doublestick Heaven


Jennifer Rzasa - Our Change of Art


Sarah Jay - Criminal Grace




The design team will select 3 runner-ups (the Fabulous Fashionistas) and one winner (the Queen of Couture) after the challenge closes. They will be posted here on the blog at the start of the next challenge, as well as on our Winners Page. The Queen of Couture will receive an awesome prize!
