What happens when you challenge talented stampers from around the world to use their favorite Hero Arts stamps for one whole week?  This is what happens!  Wow — wonderful work everyone!  It was so much fun to see your new AND old favorites and neat to see them combined too. This was an especially difficult decision and we want to thank each of you for creating and submitting.  Here we go now with this week’s picks…

First up is our Fresh Face winner — kudos to dancingpeardesigns!  Her layered masterpiece left us in awe.  Check out the amazing dimension on this card…

Next, the Scrapbooking prize goes to brenda carpenter, who created a gorgeous Halloween layout featuring the Heart Winged Butterfly stamp.  This stamp was a favorite mentioned by many, and we just love the way she used it here — perfect for those precious photos!

This next card stopped us in our tracks with it’s simple elegance and coloring.  Big congrats to Jenyfur for taking the 1st Place prize this week!

Next, 2nd Place honors go to scrapperjjb for this delightful card featuring a bird blowing out birthday candles — so cute and clever!  The details on Jenn’s cards are always amazing…

And coming in 3rd Place this week is Chris Millar with her sweet “smooch” layout.  We love how she used the Flourish Border stamps to create a rainbow of patterned papers.  The colorblocked design is fantastic…

Great job, everyone!  Here are more wonderful creations we’d like to award with Honorable Mentions.

Lucy, England came up with TWO absolutely adorable baby card designs.  One for a boy…

And one for a girl…how sweet!

Next, check out this great layout from silvakelly54 and look closely — she made a butterfly using her favorite Hero Arts paisley stamp.  Love that kind of out-of-the-box stamping!

Last but not least, anette.hjerpaasen created a beautiful “hello” card. She was so creative with the Slanted Tree stamp and cut out just the branches and truck.  What a great look!

Congratulations, winners and honorable mentions!  Please email us at the address in blog sidebar with your name, address, and corresponding prize.  Thanks!

Thanks again to everyone for your inspiring contributions to “favorites” week!

See you next time,
