PBSC February - Use Red and/or Hearts...More Inspiration!

Happy Saturday everyone! 

We're back with some more inspiration for our current challenge, and the announcement of our chosen guest designer and DT favourites from last month's challenge!

Firstly, here are the DTs favourite projects from January's 'Anything Goes' challenge:


Debby's Favourite: 
#24 - Lynne in NI

Debby says: Love the use of the bright colours.

Greta's Favourite: 
#86 - Lynda

Greta says: Incredible depth of colors in the flowers & beautifully stamped background.  The splatters & sequins are the perfect finishing touch.  (Her entry #68 is also gorgeous.)

Helen's Favourite:
#26 - Lynda Pleckan

Helen Says: I love the the colours used for this pretty floral stamp, coupled with the subtle text background and linen texture...beautiful!

Lorraine's Favourite:
#4 - Carol L
Lorraine says: I love the cute PB stamp, the cas design and the subtle background sky.

Natalie's Favourite: 
#70 - swldebbie
Natalie says: I love the C&S design, the vibrancy of the flowers and the contrast of the sentiment. A gorgeous creation!

Sue's Favourite:
#42 - Marilyn
Sue says: I am typically a hedgie type girl, but this card just struck me as oh so  beautiful. The pretty dies and the softly sponged background really makes the bird and berries stand out! 

Sylvie's Favourite: 
#12 - Shirley
Sylvie says: The stamp is a really modern look..fabulous PB Paper Pad ...makes a stunning card....
