This is Linda’s last week with us in the Designer Spotlight ands we would like to say a big thank you for all of your creations over the past few weeks. We have really enjoyed having you along with us :-)<\/p>\n

Linda<\/a>\u00a0made this beautiful panel using Tim Holtz Butterfly 1<\/a> and Butterfly 2 <\/a>\u00a0cling\u00a0stamps.<\/p>\n

\"butterflyframe1wm\"<\/p>\n

Andrea<\/a> created a stencil from a lovely Darkroom Door Robin<\/a> stamp to create this flock of ATC’s. \u00a0The backgrounds were created using patterned paper, washi tape and several Seth Apter Spellbinders dies: Robo Rings<\/a>, Ring Around<\/a>, and Splatter Proof<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a scrapbooking layout this week using beautiful Nature Sketchbook papers<\/a> by Graphic 45. The page was inspired by a butterfly quote and she cut out butterflies to flutter around on the background.<\/p>\n

Barbara<\/a> loves so much new Paper Dolls by Tim Holtz<\/a>. She built around one of this paper doll, a piece of altered art with a lot of winged things cut with Sizzix \u00a0Tim Holtz Butterfly Frenzy decorative Strip <\/a>and \u00a0painted \u00a0with \u00a0Distress oxides<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"thingswingsbarbara\"<\/p>\n

Cathie<\/a>\u00a0decided to create a springtime panel using Paper Artsy Infusions<\/a>\u00a0with elements from the Simon Says Stamp Songbird Branch<\/a> wafer die and Tim Holtz Botanical Paperie Layers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"things-with-wings4\"<\/p>\n

Emma<\/a>\u00a0was inspired by\u00a0the thought of beautiful spring days and created a textured background on one of Tim Holtz’s new Etcetera Tags,<\/a>\u00a0which she\u00a0decorated\u00a0with a kaleidoscope of\u00a0butterflies from the Flutter stamp set<\/a>\u00a0cascading out of the\u00a0die cut Tea Time<\/a> cups.<\/p>\n

Kath<\/a>\u00a0decorated a canvas to celebrate the arrival of Spring using Idea-ology Botanical Layers<\/a>, Paper Dolls<\/a> and Sizzix Thinlits Mini Detailed Butterflies<\/a><\/p>\n

\"dsc_0004\"<\/p>\n

Lols<\/a> chose to use a bird stamp from the new Tim Holtz ‘Hipster’ Set<\/a>, even though you can’t see the wings it is a bird so they are there, only hidden!<\/p>\n

\"fullsizeoutput_57c\"<\/p>\n

Macarena<\/a>\u00a0found wings in the Cupid siluette and decided to make a quite masculine love card using a lot of\u00a0Infusions <\/a>and Prima Acrylic Paints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"dsc01859\"<\/p>\n

Maura<\/a> made a colorful felt bird, using Simon Says Stamp’s Ocean Waves Spring Plush<\/a> and Plum Pickin Purple <\/a>felt, and embroidered it with Iris embroidery floss.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to created a mixed media tag with the watercolored background using Daniel Smith watercolors<\/a> and embellished the tag using Tim Holtz Caged Bird Die<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sandra<\/a> loves the beauty in dragonflies, like the Layered Dragonfly<\/a> she used for her card. She started with the Ricket stencil<\/a> along with Copper Crackle Texture Paste<\/a>\u00a0and went over it with Sunset Beach Infusions<\/a>
