August Challenge 8/17

Hello and welcome back to our Challenge Blog post!  Let’s kick off today’s post by announcing our July Mood Board Challenge results!

The winner of our July Mood Board Challenge is… Marge!

We chose Marge’s beautiful card created with a variety of our sets (Retail Therapy, Marvelous Perfumes, Pretty Mail, Sending Peonies and Haute Stacks).  We love how she created a similar layout to our Mood Board to create this chic and fashionable card!

Congratulations, Marge! Please email us at thetonstamps@gmail.com to claim your gift certificate and details on being our guest designer for our September Challenge!

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Here are three additional projects that especially stood out to us:

Judy created a beautiful Wave card with a soft pink background inspired by one of the photos from our mood board.

Gloria created a pair of fun heart shaped floral cards for her entry using our Mini Wild Florals.

Mac Mable’s pretty tag caught our eye as she incorporated several elements from our mood board to create this lovely project using our Summer Blooms, Anemone wishes and Peony Cluster sets.

All of the entries from our Mood Board Challenge were so amazing and we’d like to thank everyone who participated in last month’s Challenge!

For this month’s new challenge, we have a fun cue word: SUMMER!

The prize for this challenge will be a $50 gift certificate to our shop!
