February Card Challenge -- It's Cherry Month! Winner!
And the winner of the $5 GC is No. 3 -- Scrapqueen 141! Thanks to all the Cherries who shared their Cherry-ific cards!
-----------------------------
Yes, February is National Cherry Month, and I thought we Cherries really should take part!! So for February's Challenge, let's make some cherry-ific cards! If you just are not inspired by cherries, there also is a sketch option again this month. The sketch features cherries but you can substitute any other image/embellishment of your choice.
So here are your options -- one card only, please!
Option 1: Use a cherry or cherries on a card. You could use a cherry-patterned paper, make a cherry border, put a cherry on top of a cake -- you get the idea. Also, using the word "cherry " in your sentiment counts! This can lend itself to some puns, such as "You're cherry sweet."
Option 2: Use the sketch below. If you just are not inspired to make a cherry card, you do NOT need to use cherries -- just make a card based on the sketch and use another image/embellishment of your choice. Remember, the sketch can be turned sideways and otherwise adjusted to fit your card idea – the sketch is just a starting point.
Option 3: Earn a bonus by making a card using both the sketch and a cherry or cherries.

-- You may combine with one other monthly challenge if that challenge allows, plus the motivational challenge.
A $5 ACOT gift card will go to one Cherry via the random number generator. Please ask if you have any questions.

Super awesome challenge! I am really excited about this one as while reorganizing my scraproom, I discovered a chipboard cherry sticker! Woo-hoo!

I stamped and painted a cherry on top of a cupcake. Combined with Use Your Stash Challenge.

Hi everyone! My name is Susan and I love to scrapbook!
Re: February Card Challenge -- It's Cherry Month! (sketch sample added)
I have made a couple of cards using the sketch but I'm holding off entering because none have had cherries yet. So I'm hoping to make one that fits both parts of the challenge by the end of the month. If I don't I'll enter one I've already made.

I wanted to let you know I saw your comment but wasn't sure if I could respond to comments, so thought I would let you know her:)

And here is my official entry. I used vintage JBS paper with cherries and the sketch.
Thanks for the card challenge.

I don't enjoy making cards. But I was inspired by the card and this cherry challenge. Please don't include me, but I wanted to share how much I was inspired by this challenge. Thanks for the motivation. My layout follows the sketch with the three sections of PPs and the stacked photo and of course the cherry PP.
Re: February Card Challenge -- It's Cherry Month! (sketch sample added)
I had nothing with just cherries, but there are cherries in this new Fruit & Flora collection!! I made sure one of them was visible in the fruit that I fussy cut!
