W2SB Challenge #4 - Shine Bright Like A Diamond

April is one of my favorite months of the year.  What's not to love? April means spring is finally here, Easter is close, and at my house - Birthdays!!!  My son has an April Fool's Day birthday, and mine is later in the month.  Throw in nieces and nephews, and the month becomes one big birthday party!!

I am sure you are wondering - where is she going with this?!?!?  The April birthstone is a diamond. Pop singer Rhianna sings the song "Shine Bright Like A Diamond," about how we are ALL diamonds, bright and beautiful, coming in many shapes and sizes.  If you want to hear the song or read the lyrics, click HERE.  Shine bright like a diamond, we're beautiful like diamonds in the sky!! 

Ann from Pawsitive Thoughts by Annie was our winner of the February Olympics/Colours of Our World Challenge, so she is our Guest I-Teamer for April!  Here is her wonderfully detailed sample:

Colours of our World Challenge Winner!!!

Hi, everyone!

Thank you to all who linked a card for this month's challenge - Colours of Our World.  We also want to offer our sincerest thanks to Peggy of PegBoard Crafts for joining us as a Guest I-Teamer for this challenge.  Peggy designed our badge and blog header.  Thank you, Peggy!!!

All of the cards were great and in keeping with the challenge theme.  Choosing the winning entry this month was really difficult! 

After much deliberation, the card from Pawsitive Thoughts by Annie was chosen.   Her beautiful card was a great representation of the Colours of the World challenge.  She included all of the colors of the Olympic flag, her sentiment really works well with her fireworks background, and the jewels add great texture and interest.  Great job, Annie!!!

Please email BobbisTreasure at aol dot com to make arrangements for: receiving your stamp set, getting your W2SB badge, and learning more about being a Guest I-Teamer.  Annie, we would love for you to be the guest I-Teamer for April!

Sybrina has a great March challenge ready for us for W2SB #3 . Thinking green, St. Patricks, Mardi Gras?  Nope, not this March. 

Thanks again for joining us for W2SB #2 - Colours of the World.  Hope to see you all next month!
