Design Team Favourites for December

Monica Collins # 23 -Nonsolocard The penguin tree is so cute and beautifully colored. I love the watercolor background - it makes a great scene but is not overpowering.

Jackie Trinder #81 - AJ - I just love this matching set of bag, card and tag. The image that has been used is so cute. The papers are gorgeous too. Anyone would love to receive this set. 

Carole Jones #106 - Faith A - Faith has made a stunning 3D village with lovely little houses, a church and fir trees. There are Christmas wreaths on the doors and vellum windows which allow the coloured tea lights to shine through at night. And it folds flat for posting. Such a beautiful project!

Monika Kobus #107 - Plony - Great shape card with lovely colour scheme..

Andrѐe Crowe #120 - Deonna G  - A delightful set of festive decorations. Lovely gingerbread house designs and cheerful gingerbread people. Super sparkle, fabulous details and gorgeous lace.

lleana Artuffo #125 - Nisha  This is a gorgeous creation, very very elegant! I love burned borders and tea technique. Design is wonderful and the simple heart is a masterpiece.

The new challenge starts tomorrow. We hope to see you all there.

Monica Collins

 Sunshine Creativity

My name is Monica and I live in Fort Myers, on the southwest side of Florida. We have eternal summer and I love that. My first love in the crafting world is my set of Prismacolour pencils. Other than an occasional play with some Crayola watercolours or small set of watercolour pencils, my Prismas are my only colouring medium. I am inspired by colour and music and have been doing some form of both all my life. Papercrafting, fabric and yarn arts and mixed media are my favourite pastimes. Thank you for having me.

I love making things for the baby. 

Happy Crafting.
