It’s that time of the week – time to announce the new additions to the designer spotlight, and the winner of the $50 voucher to Simon Says Stamp!

First up, four spotlight entries for the week and our green challenge.

#9 Elly takes this challenge to a cool place with a tutorial on re-using what might otherwise be recycling.  Anna-Karin says: Wow, such a fantastic going green project, making fabulous flowers and a vase from plastic bottles. Gorgeous textures, stamping and great techniques.

#25 Astrid shares a stunning art journal piece. Candy says: In her art journal page, she has created a sweet and serene setting with her use of soft colors and perfectly placed stamping amongst her beautifully drawn and shaded leaves. Truly a work of art!

#91 Emilia has a detail and texture filled canvas featuring a cute bird in a nest.  Meihsia says: Emilia has created a piece of art on canvas with many gorgeous elements and her great photo showed all the details beautifully.

#127 Susan Janicula delights us with her little (green) treehouse. Sandra says: The faux wood look on this little ATC looks amazing. I love the bold greenish blue color she used!
