Hello again!!<br />

Wow, wow, wow!! You ALL amazed us with your brilliant interpretations of the Friendship challenge! So much thought, creativity and attention to detail went into each of your projects which made it really tough for us to choose two winners! But, of course, we did, and here they are!<br />

Aren’t they all wonderful? I mean, truly. We are so thrilled that you all played along with our challenge.<br />
<br />
Well, friends, that’s it for us today. Normally, I would say please come back tomorrow for the next challenge. But if you saw our announcement from yesterday (you can find it <strong><a href="http://aeiheartuchallenge.blogspot.com/2016/02/aeiu-challengean-announcement.html">HERE</a></strong>), you already know that the AEI♥U Challenge is going on a bit of a hiatus. We’re excited to change things up a bit, while still featuring and focusing on our wonderful customers’ work using the Avery Elle product line! Fun things are ahead for Avery Elle, so I hope you’ll follow us on <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/AveryElle/?fref=ts">Facebook</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/averyellestamps/">Instagram</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/averyellestamps/">Pinterest</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/1997426@N21/pool/with/25065884155/">Flickr</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/averyellestamps">YouTube</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/AveryElleStamps">Twitter</a></strong> for all the latest Avery Elle happenings!

The February challenge was the last challenge . . . for now. We’ve decided to put the AEI♥U Challenge on hiatus!! We want to thank all of our participants – past and present!! Seeing your beautiful work featuring Avery Elle products has been an absolute joy, and we are ever so grateful to you all for playing along throughout the challenge history.

I live in a suburb near Seattle, Washington with my husband and 3 little kids. I started crafting as a full time hobby after the birth of my first child and enjoy creating every day. I love creating with stamps, dies and patterned paper. Layering is my favorite thing to do! When I’m not crafting I enjoy outdoor activities with my kids, helping out at school and watching soccer and football! Go Sounders and Seahawks! Avery Elle is one of the best companies and I am honored to create for their challenge team!</p></blockquote> <p> <p>Yay!!

Watercolor is one of those trends that seems to be sticking around, and boy does that make us happy!! It’s one of those timeless trends that I think translates to all styles of design! Here’s how our amazing new challenge team interpreted the prompt (Lindsay was so inspired, she made two projects!)!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hello! My name is Amy Kolling. I live in Topeka, Kansas with my 2 <span id="misspell-1"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425099229975_3566">ornery</span></span> kids
and sweet hubby. Beside my crafty resume, I work full time as a Dialysis RN at
one of the largest clinics within the company. I started scrapbooking nearly 20
years ago with layouts using my wedding photos. Once I found stamping (via a
Stampin' Up friend), I became a die-hard cardmaker . . . there was just something
about all the matchy ink and papers that had me hook, line, and sinker! I would
not be where I am today without the amazing stamping community of friends that
have encouraged me from the very beginning. I am a CAS, with a few layers, kind
of stamper but like to try all sorts of techniques that may or may not take me
out of my comfort zone. You can find me over at my blog: <a href="http://www.stamp-n-paradise.blogspot.com/" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425099229975_4556">Stamp-n-Paradise</a>. I am so
excited to work alongside the rest of the amazing challenge team to bring you
inspiration using Avery Elle!</span></span></div>

adore making cards, and sharing them on my blog, <a href="http://lindsayamrhein.blogspot.com/">Note To Self</a>, for going on over 4
years now! I enjoy many other things besides, like biking, camping, cooking,
and soon, farm living! I am the proud mom of two boys, Jonathan and Dallas, who
have an endless daily reserve of energy. I am wife to the most patient, and
loving man a woman could ask for. I am so glad I am able to provide inspiration
for you on the AEI♥U Challenge blog!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I’m
a retired Legal Assistant, married to Garry since 1980, and mom to Amy
(newly married to Joe) and Ashley (married to Blake and the mother to my
grandkids, Brecken, Brenner and Brynley.) I’m blessed to live in Issaquah,
Washington in
the summer, and Chandler, Arizona in the winter – the best of both
worlds! I
love all things paper crafting, but especially stamping and
card-making. I love
to laugh, shop, travel, and play BINGO (don’t judge! LOL) I would
describe my personal crafting style as a mix of clean and simple,
graphic, and a bit of fun and cute thrown in for good measure.</span></span><br />
