Winners of Challenge #8

Thank you for all the wonderful submissions for last week's challenge.  I'll admit it, it was a tough challenge for me, but I was so amazed by the cards that were created using the picture as inspiration. 

Our Headliner this week is:

Kerin Sylvester

We loved Kerin's use of colour and the two stamp sets she used to create this pretty card!  Isn't that sentiment wonderful?  I love that it is from a new hostess set! The little pop of yellow with the ribbon was the perfect touch!  Congratulations Kerin!
