Our Creative Corner - Break Out the Buttons!

Hello OCC friends! Thank you so much to all the participants in our sketch challenge last week. It was truly amazing to see the versatility of a single sketch.

Sadly, we have to announce that of two of our design team members have stepped down from the OCC - Jenny Gropp & Silke Ledlow. We will miss you both and we want to thank you for being part of the OCC Design Team. We wish you both all the best and please know you always have a place here at Our Creative Corner! As we say goodbye to Silke & Jenny, we say "hello" to three NEW members, so without further adieu, we would like to extend a warm welcome and introduce to you Diane Gilbert (My Little Stamping Spot), Julie Leblanc (Kewl Stamps-n-More) and Sarah Gough (Thinking Stamps) here at the OCC! Please join us in welcoming them and pop by their Blogs to see their beautiful creations!

Before we get to this week's challenge, we would like to announce the winner of the $25 gift certificate to Repeat Impressions that was so generously donated by Wendy, the owner. The winner is Julie Smith!!! Congratulations Julie, please email us so we can get your goodies to you.

Here is Julie's card using the sketch from last week. Such an elegant and peaceful card. Please stop by Julie's Blog, Paper and Such to see her awesome creations.

Now, onto this week's challenge. We have a new month, and that means a new hostess. Let's welcome our April hostess, Dana Grothaus. This week Dana is challenging all of us to use buttons on our cards or projects. Anyone can play and we can't wait to see your creations.

Please remember there is no time limit on our challenges - participate whenever you are able. To play along, upload your creation to your blog or gallery, then leave us a comment linking to your card/project so we can check it out. If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword: OCCC

Here are the samples from the OCC Design team, our April hostess, will start us off:
