Release Day is also Group post day. It's the day that I get the pleasure of showcasing the Design Team with their final parting release projects. And let me just say, the pleasure is all MINE!

Cristina Kowalczyk

The use of the pastel colors paired with the stark black and white along with all of those graphic elements is what really makes this card. The pattern Cristina created with the arrows from Cupid's Arrow keeps it on trendy. The diagonal stripes she's added along the edge keeps it classic. What a perfect balance!

Elise Durenberger

Elise always finds the most creative ways to use stamps and supplies. I always come away inspired, and this is no exception. Just check out how she's used the banners from Banner Love to create that prize ribbon. Genius.

Jean Martin

Jean gave me two to choose from today and I had a hard time deciding. But in the end, this gorgeous monochromatic number won me over. I think it was the unexpected pop of red that she added with the XOXO Border Die that did me in. Effortlessly elegant.

Jinny Newlin

{Out For Publication}

It's no secret that I am a sucker for hearts and Jinny's got them in abundance with our Clear Cut Stackers: Hearts die. The stamping she's added is icing on the cake. Put them in a pocket? I'm all over this one!

Kerrianne Gwin

Did you know that Kerrianne is a hopeless romantic? I did! So I know that this card was inspired by her upcoming nuptials! The cupid from Cupid's Arrow is the perfect finishing touch for this Parisian masterpiece.

Lea Lawson

Leah always has the most amazing color combinations! What really stands out to me on this card is her use of Banner Love. The sentiment is framed beautifully and the little pennants she added to the left add a touch of fun.

Sarah Martina Parker

Sarah has an unmistakeable style. Her use of colors and layers has always intrigued me. I love how she has mixed graphic elements like the chevron patterned paper and bulls eye stamp, with more vintage elements like the tissue and trim.

Savitri Wilder

I love Savitri's eclectic mix of elements. She has a perfect balance of whimsy, sophistication and elegance. The damask image she's added from Damask Delight is the perfect choice to ground all of the separate elements.

And that officially concludes our December/January Release Week festivities. Thank you so much for joining us. I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season filled with family and lots of love!
