Ready for a new month???

Edited to add Lori's prize info below.

I am always excited to start a new month - but before we do, I want to send a BIG thank YOU to our February sponsors: Shirley Ross and Sandra Strickler. These ladies donated a couple of wonderful prize packages and I have winners to announce!!!  The first winner will be receiving Sandra's package and that person is.........#41 from Hearts week - Rachel P.!  And the winner of Shirley's goodies is........#3 Gina B from the Kissing week. Congrats ladies! Please contact me at mbryt1@bex.net so I can pass your mailing info along to the sponsors.

And now we have two new sponsors!! The first is Lori Brown who you can visit at her blog Saving My.... or her website here. Here is Lori's awesome prize package:


It includes the following - a Key To My Heart paper pack, Primaver rub-ons, Miracle Irresistibles, Around the Block stamp set, Egg Hunt stamp set, and a petite perks stamp set. Thanks Lori!!


 I also have a photo of the prize that our second sponsor, Angela Parchey, is offering - take a look:


The package includes an Art Board, Floral Tapestry Simply Snapshots, a package of Clear Shapes, the stamp set Splendid and two square clear cards and two scalloped circle clear cards (both with clear envelopes). Awesome! Thank you Angela! You can stop by and visit Angela at her blog Parchey Family. And you'll be seeing more from Angela in a few minutes as she is playing along with our challenge this week - yeah! Thanks ladies for sponsoring our little challenge blog!

Before we get to the challenge, I also want to thank our outgoing Guest DT, Aaron Brown and welcome our Guest DT for March - Mary Gunn!


Here's a little intro from Mary:
 
"I have always loved paper and making cute things. It is good clean FUNN (except my inky fingers and glittery face)!

So when I learned about Close To My Heart (then D.O.T.S.), I fell in love with stamping, inks and the paper!

Now in my 12th year as a Consultant, I truly, madly, deeply love sharing both simple ways to create cute things and cute things I have created. My motto is, “Making Ladies Happy and the World Cuter”.
I just want to share the “FUNN” with everyone who will listen and look.

Posting on Heart 2 Heart is remarkably easy and so rewarding because the comments left are uplifting and encouraging – they make my day!
It is just darn cool to be the Guest Designer in March! I'm delighted to be able to add some FUNN to such a great site. Thanks to Mary, the prize people and the design team for all you do! Let's have a FUNN March!"

Welcome Mary! You can stop by and see Mary at Mary Gunn FUNN and at her website here. Mary will be playing along with the DT for a couple of weeks in March so stay tuned!

Now on to our challenge. It's a color challenge and here are the colors:

Let's see what the team created to get you inspired, starting with sponsor Angela Parchey:

Such a sweet card and a great use of the colors! Thanks for playing with us Angela!








What a talented team! I am so excited to see what this group of gals produces week after week - amazing! But there are a lot of talented stampers out there!!! And YOU are one of them! So join us and play along with our color challenge this week. We're starting a new month, with new prizes and you can increase your chances to win by playing along each week. Don't forget to follow the rules (see the sidebar for details) and use CTMH products in your artwork.

Have a wonderful and creative week! I will be back later in the week with our Top Ten for February!
