Part 2 of Feature Friday and a Winner!!!!!

Hello and Welcome back to Flashback Friday!!!!  I meant to pop in last night but well, didn't, so I'm combining some Featured Cards along with the winner.

First off, a ginormous WOOT WOOT to:



My Flashback Friday 15.0 Sponsor!!!!

This lovely {ippity} set will go to the random.org winner of Flashback Friday 15.0!


I also wanted to thank my oh-so-wonderfully-talented Flashback Friday 15.0 Guest Designer!!!

Els!!!!

I've been a long time fan of Els' blog and was absolutely THRILLED to read this about her:


I KNOW...she made the Basic Grey Design Team!!!!!!!!  Yahoooooooooooooo Els!!!!!

Els picked such a great challenge, I think that everyone had so much fun looking back to find their first Fall card.  Here are a couple more that I wanted to feature yesterday:

Bernice linked up this CUTE Halloween card:


Darling images!!!  They are by Karber Digital Images which is a company that Bernice co-created!  Fun thing is, you can also buy her images at Sparkle Creations Store which was my Flashback Friday 6.0 Sponsor!

Erin shared this card with us:


Classic elegance...clean & crisp!

Check out Toni's fall beauty...


Masking and Scoring....a delish combo!

Here's Merry's fun card!


Check out this interesting trivia from Merry:

 I don't normally do cards by season as here in tropical northern Australia we have a Wet Season and a Dry Season.  Apr to Sep is cooler than the remainder of the year which is hot and humid.

Thanks to EVERYBODY that played along with us for this challenge.  I hope that you enjoyed yourself as much as I did.  I know that some of you 'cringed' to be featured on the Flashback Friday blog :) but it is all about seeing your growth and the changes that go along with it...  I'm always amazed when I see similarities in my style from long ago and it seems that a common comment is the lack of photog skills..LOL..personally, I still struggle with that:)

I know, I know...get on with it woman!

Okay, so I use random.org to pick the winner.  The winner of Flashback Friday 15.0 will win:

1.  {ippity} Life's Little Moments set!
2.  Guest Designer of Flashback Friday 16.0!
3. Pick the Challenge for Flashback Friday 16.0!

The lucky duck is:

Pam L!!!!!!


Yahoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

We'll be back on October 7th {taking a week off} with the new Flashback Friday 16.0!!!!!

Thanks again to everybody that played....I truly appreciate your support!!!!!

Okay, when I think of Fall I think of traditional Fall Colors...but I like to be a non-traditionalist and show you some non-traditional cards in term of colors:

The lovely Lynn posted this super CUTE card...

"hey, there!"

Such a fun greeting and no orange!


Alison's card is very fabulous, isn't it?  scallops and zig zags, be still my heart and another no orange creation!


Pam didn't just post one gorgeous card but a total of three that were originally posted in 2009.  I love the orange, grey and brown combo of this cutie pie card.


I have to share this fun card from Julie:):):)  Julie only recently started making cards last year...she is a prolific scrapbooker...so of course I had to show off this one since it is chock full of EAD Designs goodness:)

I wish I could show off everybody's card today but I still have a couple weeks of Feature Friday's for this Flashback:)  I did want to close with this sweet card:


Our wonderful Flashback Friday 15.0 Super Sponsor, Jen linked this fantabulous card!

My wonderful Guest Designer for Flashback Friday 15.0 is:

Els!!!


My name is Els, but most of you probably know me as Be(e). I'm a wife, a mom of two children, a stamper, cardmaker, scrapbooker, a paper-addict.
About three years ago I started stamping and making cards again. I was instantly hooked. Not too much later, I took the plunge to scrapbooking as well. As for most people, my kids are my biggest inspiration and my favorite subjects. Occasionally, I make mini albums or other items too. I love making cards and layouts for challenges. Since two years I have a blog, http://www.bestamped.wordpress.com/, where I share all my crafting madness. Come and say 'hi' some time, I'd like to meet all of you. It is one of my dreams to be part of a design team some day.

I'm thrilled to be the guest designer here today!! Thank you very much for having me, Amy!!

Thank YOU Els:)
Els has picked a challenge for Flashback Friday 15.0:

**First Fall Card**

Here's Els' card...make sure you pop over to her blog to read all about it:



I'm thrilled with this challenge...I think that Fall is my very favorite season!

This is a card that was posted onto my blog back in November 2007! It was about post 4 on my blog since November 2007 is when I started this whole journey.


The stamps are by Flourishes and the paper is Apple Cider from Stampin' Up...booooooo both are discontinued!

I still love this card...although if I was going to do it over again, I'd use wider ribbon:)  I was really big into taking pictures at an angle, still can't remember why I did that:)

I can't wait to see your first fall card!
