Cream of the Crop :: July

Hello! Happy Saturday!

I cannot believe it's already the end of the month! July flew by! I'm here today to announce the

July Cream of the Crop!

We're gearing up for an AMAZING new release in just a couple of weeks (August 13-17!), but we'd like to take some time to share some projects that we found in our galleries that we LOVE!

EACH and EVERY month we are blown away by the creativity in our galleries and this month is no exception! There are TONS of places to find MSS inspiration- you can find some here:

Thank you to ALL the wonderful designers that shared their project with us this month!

So..... here are three projects that caught our eye and stood out- well executed, creative, and inspiring!!

In no particular order, here are the three designers who are the "Cream of the Crop!"

LALO IK

Lalo continuously WOWs us with her beautiful creations! She made this card for our Block Party but didn't get to upload it in time! It's OK, Lalo! That just means it qualifies for the Cream of the Crop contest! Hehe! We LOVE how Lalo combined the whimsical images from Woodland with that beautiful background, Here Comes the Sun! Just perfect, Lalo!

Stop by Lalo's blog- she's got great style!

JENNIFER WILLS

Jen uploaded several AMAZING cards into our galleries this month! Her clean and simple style really shines- and this card is no exception! She combined elements from Home Sweet Home and Simple Salutations on this one with a sweet Gingham background! Perfection!

Make sure you run over and check out Jen's blog! Her cards are AWESOME!

LORI TECLER

How about a little Christmas in July? I'm down! We fell in LOVE with this beautiful holiday card that Lori made! She paired Essential Holiday Elegance with the classic Houndstooth background to create this stunning non-traditional holiday card! Elegant and BEAUTIFUL!

Stop by Lori's blog- she has SO many beautiful projects over there!
