September Challenge Designer's Choice, Winner, and Top Picks + Frequent Players Spotlight and Random Prize Drawing Winner

Thanks so much to everyone who shared their beautiful projects in our Stamps & Markers challenge last month! We received 108 awesome entries! The design team voted for our favorites, and we've got a winner, 5 top picks, and a designer's choice (an entry that used STAMPlorations stamps and is chosen by Shery). Here they are!

STAMPlorations September Designer's Choice

#108 Harriet Skelly

Why it's Shery's choice: "Harriet's card grabbed my attention from the get-go. When I saw it in the gallery, I just had to get a closer look. I was delighted when I realized she had used our artsy sunflower stamp -- she had watercolored them with markers, but they looked like an oil painting to me! Plus, she made my favorite kind of card: one layer!"

Congratulations, Harriet! Please grab your designer's choice badge below to display on your blog. Send an email to sheryruss@gmail.com with the subject "STAMPlorations September Designer's Choice" and we'll send you information on claiming your stamp set.
