Winner and Top 3 Challenge #127

Current challenge "Use your favourite colouring medium" click HERE

So many people will be amazed when they open their birthday card at the love that has been put into their creation.  I think it's really special to make something for someone who appreciates it.  All the time, love and attention that is put into the project is our way of showing how much the recipient means to the person who gives it.  

I once heard someone in the school yard complaining that she had received a card from her 'friend' (said with air quotes), that was homemade.  She said "She couldn't even be bother to go to the shop to buy a card". I wonder if she even considered how much time and effort her friend would have put into making her the card.  Probably not in my opinion.

We really enjoy looking through all your entries and even if we don't get to leave you a comment all the projects who follow the rules are in with a chance of Winning or earning a Top 3 place.

The Winner and Top 3 for Challenge 127 were chosen by our DT member Carolyn.

We have the wonderful Sarah from

Star Stampz

Hello! My name is Sarah though I am commonly known by friends and online as Star. This derived back from the early days when I first began signing my artwork as Stargirl (and have ever since.)

Art has has a big influence on my life and who I am. Though I have dabbled in many styles and types discovering Japanese anime and it's art style is what renewed my vigor to draw. It helps that I'm also a complete geek ~ anime, Japanese culture, books, writing, fantasy, cartoons, music, musicals, etc.

I am not very crafty with paper scrapbooking or putting together beautiful cards and creations BUT when I discovered the world of digital stamping I was fascinated what others could do with the same art stamp. I have also been fond of inking pen drawings in my sketchbooks. I have focused a lot on my digital art and other freelance projects but digital stamps is that perfect niche for being creative and getting back to pen&ink drawings. I always look forward to see what creations others have turned my stamps into!
