Week 182: ADORE

Simply put, we adore you.  February begins next week and we figured we could all use a little adoration in the gallery to get the month started off right!

Concord & 9th is returning as our wonderful sponsor and this week's winner will receive the fantastic Tree Hugs stamp set!

Have you seen all the stamp/die bundles on sale in the store?  If not, you need to go check them out!

Angie created a card to go along with this week's cue word!

I "adore" watercoloring, this color combo (which works for women & men) and our Tree Hugs stamp set. It's fun to use to build different sized birch trees, or just use the heart and the different sentiments that fit inside the heart. We are excited to be giving one away to the lucky winner!

Let's take a look at what the design team and this week's guest designer created for inspiration!
