    Just found your blog and I love Clear Dollar stamps (have only a couple of sets so far). I like this sketch and the cards the ladies have made - I especially like Judi's birds card (I may be biased I just came from her blog). If I can get organised I will try to enter this challenge. It looks like a great one to start with!

    Sorry to comment a second time but just letting you know I linked my entry. I commented a few days ago as "Tanja" but my card is named "Tanja S." It was nice to do a square card for a change. I have a few CDS stamps but decided to use a different company's stamps because it fit the circle better. Thanks for all the inspiring cards the design team made and for a chance to win!
