I loved this card by Sarah so much because those little butterflies that you see in the background of the shaker area will actually show up in the inside of the card. You can go and visit Sarah's Blog here: http://craftyrat.uk/2016/02/25/easter-jump-rope-bunny/  to see more pictures of this adorable card. :-)

This wonderful card by IKE jus made me giggle. I think I would wanna be that bunny sitting relaxed in the corner. bahaha.... The whole scene is amazing and so funny! :-)

I really love the clouds, the sentiments, the coloring, the grass, and the rope (did I forget anything? lol! ) that Daisy Jane attached to this sweet card. Everything works beautifully together - I just love the whole card!

Now beside the winner I'm also happy to announce three designs that just stood out to me!

Now isn't this card by Lisa Lara just too funny and cute? I just love how she saw turned this guy into a peeking santa, who apparently doesn't see too much, right?

I might be a little biased on this card, since the crafty rat actually sent it to me for the holidays!!!! But what can I say, the original card looks amazing and I was blown away!!! Thank you so much!

I also really adore the idea by noeliag to put the santa on screen, as he has such an important message! What a great idea!

Thank you so much for playing along in last months challenge! The randomly drawn winner of the three digital stamps is CATNIP and KITTY. Congratulations!!!!

As always I'd like to point out three designs that stood out to me. This was extremely hard this month as I've seen so many very special designs!!! You guys really brought this little bear to live! Feel free to grab the yeah me banner, if you find your design in this section! :)

This super funny card by Daisy Jayne just cracked me up! Daisy btw. created a bunch of super adorable card with my designs and if you follow me on Instagram you've probably enjoyed her work already with me.

The background Nina created for this Birthday card is just stunning. The colors are just gorgeous and I love the splashes of gold. Nina also cut out the mug to replace it with a heart to make it more suitable for a birthday card.

I'm in love with this sweet card by Judy. The color choice is gorgeous as it works perfectly together with the image and sentiment.
