Hey! It’s time to announce our first round winners for July. And we’ve had a ball judging the entries. What a colorful Flickr pool we have had this month with our summery and Neon themes! We’ve loved it! Now, on to our wonderful winners…

Our Fresh Face for July is stamping_mynn@hotmail.com who went with our Neon color challenge and created this beauty using stamps from our Friend - You’re the Best set. We love the addition of neon twine and buttons.

In the digital category, this beautiful summer layout by ctprezzia (Clare) really stood out. She has used our Field Flowers digikit and added lots of hand doodling. Such a pretty way to showcase her photo.

And now our Fab Five, five of our favorite projects, presented in no particular order. Just like our Fresh Face and Digital winners, every member of the Fab Five will receive a $50 Hero Arts shopping spree.

Firstly, Anneke de Clerck with this stunning dish of handmade flowers made using our Big and Small Flowers stamps and paper scraps.  Wouldn’t this make a fabulous table centerpiece.

Next, ivgupta(isha), who has inspired us all with the beauty of the Swiss Alps on this pretty card. Now we’d all like a Summer adventure to Switzerland…

This neon-tastic decoration by Chris Millar is a visual feast. She has used lots of different background stamps for the paper flowers in her Kusudama Ball. And we love the sweet hanging sentiment.

jacqueline.fr has evoked a long, hot French summer with her soft, watercolor style stamping. Such a pretty creation.

And finally, a summery card by Touch of Creation featuring our Starburst Background stamp. We think the shiny gemstones add the perfect touch to this little beauty.
