Our AEI♥U Challenge Winner is Yainea .  Congratulations!  I just love the colors and composition of this terrific card using our Oh Happy Day clear stamp set.  We cannot wait to have you as a guest designer for November!  Please contact us at customerservice@averyelle.com so that we can get your prize to you.

A big thank you to all that entered our challenge this month.  It is so difficult to pick just one winner each challenge.  You are all so talented.  If you weren't picked this time, please consider entering again in our next guest designer challenge that will start on Friday, October 18th.

Nina created this pretty Miss You card using the trees from Let It Snow, bow from the Simply Tags: Christmas clear stamp set and a sentiment from our Handwritten Notes clear stamp set.  I love her idea of adding a yellow ribbon to the trees - perfect for those with friends or family in the military.

Donna created these next two cards using our Holiday Fill In The Blank clear stamp set and the coordinating dies.  She stretched her crafting time and supplies even further by using the "leftover" Merry die cuts from the first card to create her festive second card.  I love shortcuts like that! 

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Let's get to the hop shall we?  I created this card using our new Build A Banner stamp set & die, Winter Wreath stamp set and the Laurels Stamp set & die.  I used the new Cheers wine tag die to cut a panel of our Birch Wood Grain Card Stock and one out of red patterned paper.  I cut the circle section off the top of both tags and trimmed the side edges of the Birch card stock so that when stacked together it created a mat.  I used an acrylic block with a grid to line up and stamp my two-toned banner and it was SO easy.  I love that!!
