Sarah is the artist and owner behind Star Stampz. Art has been a huge influence in her life and in who she is. She discovered Japanese Anime. It is this style that has renewed her vigor to draw and you can reap the benefits of this with her amazing art! I fell in love with her digital stamps the first time I set eyes on them. And now to see her grow and expand is truly magnificent! Be sure to go by and share the love at her Etsy shop!

<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b3b0b;">Hanne's Thoughts: </span></b>Emily’s card is absolutely stunning. I love the flying dove and the colours of the card - and the flower flames Emily has created are just fabulous. It must have taken ages to colour all those roses - wow! The sentiment is a perfect finishing touch for this card.
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b3b0b;">Karen's Thoughts: </span></b>You have beautiful symbolism in your card...the flowers representing the fire and the intricate dove. It follows our theme of faith based and I am sure will be a treasure for your colleague’s niece. I love the uniqueness of the twisted easel. I am a flower girl myself and your lovely flowers attracted me immediately. Great job Emily!!!

<b><span style="color: #0b3b0b;">Karen's Thoughts: </span></b>I love Alicia’s card although choosing just one is so hard. The image is just precious and although I don’t have any sons, I can imagine how much little boys want to help their dads on the workbench. I especially love the pop-up bench inside. I’m sure your dad loved his card!
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b3b0b;">Sandy's Thoughts: </span></b>Just love the pop up bench when you open up this card, A delightful image on the front and the papers from Kaisercraft meld it all together to make a wonderful card.

<b><span style="color: #0b3b0b;">Lynda's Thoughts: </span></b>I love your card, the bold colours are so beautiful and I adore the big bow and layout.
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b3b0b;">Susan's Thoughts: </span></b>A kite! Brilliant use of movement... and this card helps me imagine a kite flying in the sky. Don't you love that? I do! This is a gorgeous card! The kite is gorgeous. I love that die! And I love the use of those two roses on the kite. That was such a great idea. I love the added clouds to give you that up in the air flying feeling! And that gorgeous big bow at the bottom just tops it off! Beautiful! I love your choice of colors, love the papers you used and the added inking is a fantastic addition to top this amazing card off. Thank you so much for sharing with us in the March Challenge. I'm really glad you did and your card is outstanding!

Alicia Bel has been drawing since childhood. She studied Teaching and Fine Arts. She was able to learn anatomy, composition and many her drawings more interesting. Have a look in her shop and you will see that her images are very sweet and innocent and even a little sexy thrown in there sometimes. We are truly thankful for her art and for her sharing with us in the crafty community so that we have great images to create with.

<b>Prize: <i>$15 Gift Certificate</i></b>
<br />
The Paper Shelter is one of our favorite shops. Whenever we are looking for something, we always seem to find a fit at The Paper Shelter. The designs are unique and so adorable! You can find anything from a whimsical fairy to a biker chick! All the images start out hand drawn. From there they take those digital so we can all use them to create. We love that when you purchase a design from The Paper Shelter, you not only get the line drawn image to color, but you also get a fully digital colored image and backgrounds as well. You just need to go browse around! You will fall in love with this shop just as we have! Thank you so much for sponsoring us for January!

I also wanted to share one last image from <a href="http://www.ikesart.com/#!__digital-art-stamps">Ike's Art</a>. This one wasn't finished when the challenge went live, so I wanted to make sure that everyone was able to enjoy this one last image from Ike's. This is an Artist Trading Card using Christmas Pixie which you can find in the Ike's Art Shop! She was colored with Copic Markers, the background was done using Distress Ink. Thanks for looking!

<b><span style="color: #0b3b0b;">Susan's Thoughts: </span></b>This was such an impossible choice! Everyone is so incredibly talented. I went with Katrina Bufton's beautiful CAS creation. Love the colors. Love the splatter.. that is always one of my favorites! I love splattering. And I love the doodling around the edge of the card to the Thanks in the corner. Absolutely beautiful creation! I love it!

<br />
I'm not sure where to begin! I found Krista's shop on Etsy and it was instant love! Every one of her whimsical, fun little creations are magnificent! Her first love has always been drawing and you can sure tell by what she puts out with her imagination. She worked as an animator for over 15 years. 10 of those years was with Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida until the studio closed in 2004. It is amazing to see her creations not only on paper, but when I first reached out to her they were used for cookies! AMAZING COOKIES! She has now taken those amazing digital stamps that she shares with us in the crafting world and has added rubber stamping as well. It has been so exciting to see her grow in the crafting realm and her images are amazing to work with. They are a joy to color and you can find some amazing creations out there with her line of stamps!! Be sure to visit her shop.

<b><span style="color: #0b3b0b;">Hanne's Thoughts: </span></b>I love Deanne's fairly simple design - the ribbon, the image and the sentiment really gets the full attention with the black background. The image is super cute and the colours in the card scream Halloween. :)

I really like the little spider charm as well. Not too scary, lol.

<b>Prize: <i>3 Images</i></b>
<br />
Holly grew up an army brat, which allowed her to experience different cultures from across the United States and overseas. She is a married, stay at home mom of three. She enjoys drawing, learning to sew, photography, reading and learning to cook allergy friendly recipes. Kylie is autistic and thinks that helps her see the world in a unique and creative way that feeds her art. At the age of 13 Kylie saw and her mother bought her first comic book. That was when she fell in love with the industry. She started out by redrawing every panel of her X-Men #22 and Uncanny X-Men #302 comic books. At the age of 15, Kylie was published by AC Comics in Femforce Pin-up Portfolio 5. You should visit the KJ Arting page to learn more about Kylie - http://www.kjarting.com/. She has a very interesting and fun history and I have enjoyed learning about her. And to top that off, she is an amazing artist and we are very lucky to have her sponsor with us this month. Thank you Kylie!

I think something simple like that just adds so much! And then the inking with it just adds so much more. Love that! I love all the die cut elements too. They turned out really great. And then there is that perfect little definition at the bottom that really makes me relate. Yep.. I have teenagers and I believe that they think that is the true meaning of studying LOL! Absolutely wonderful project! Love everything about it. Love all the details and little pieces that you have added to make this a masterpiece! Thank you so much for joining in! Great inspiration for us all!

Alicia Bel has been drawing since childhood. She studied Teaching and Fine Arts. She was able to learn anatomy, composition and many her drawings more interesting. Have a look in her shop and you will see that her images are very sweet and innocent and even a little sexy thrown in there sometimes. We are truly thankful for her art and for her sharing with us in the crafty community so that we have great images to create with.

Ruth had a full time job and then was going to night school to finish her degree. To stay awake she would doodle and her doodles kept her entertained and awake through every lecture. That is where Kitty Bee Design began. Be sure to visit the Kitty Bee Design shop to see all of the wonderful doodles that she has offered up to us to create with.
