And now here are the highlights. The girls in the design team picked an entry to highlight. It's the entry that uniquely impacted us in some way -- a specific technique that was used, the colors, the creativity, or something in it that touched or impacted us.


Char's and Julia's Highlight: #2 Filharmonica
Char says, "Love the stitched heart, and the distressing around the butterfly, layers and that pretty lace doily!"

Julia says, "Gorgeous layerings of heart, doily, butterfly, stitching and lovely tan/brown colors!"


Maria F.'s and Elina's Highlight: #85 Lee Ann Barrett

Maria F. says, "I would love to see this card IRL. It is so powerful."

Elina says, "Love the contrast between the red light house and the white background. Looks good!"


Deepti's and Kripa's Highlight: #75 Lisa Minckler

Deepti says, "The way Lisa designed her card with the puzzle pieces is incredible. Congrats!"

Kripa says, "Creative use of puzzle pieces for the base and the sentiment made this card standout for me."


Jan's Highlight: #70 sarascloset

Jan says, "Fantastic blending of colors and techniques."


Jenny's Highlight: #36 Myoriah

Jenny says, "I love the unusual technique of paper pulping used by Myoriah to make the heart and the the butterfly stamped on the acetate."
