Design Team Favourites for October

Greeshma Nithin #9 - Cicci is my favourite I loved the way she colored the background and the image.

Dawn Morris #50 - Papper Plotter Lottas - I'm a OddBall fan... I really like her color choices and the background ink blending.

Claudia Martins #93 - Plony - the coloring and the lace, the layers, the delicacy, anyway, I loved everything in this project ... lol

Carole Jones #111 - J Atterbury Creations - Jo Ann made a gorgeous centre step card with a charming, beautifully coloured image. The autumnal die cut leaves and flowers are the perfect embellishments

Monica Collins #134 - Bharati - I love the bright colors in the background and the added texture with the paste and the googly eye. Great coloring on the bird.

Ileana Artuffo - My favourite is #135 - Beatriz Blazquez Arraba - I love the image and design! Beautiful choice of colours and laces are wonderful! Gorgeous colouring!

Monika Kobus #160 - Ingunn - Great colours and textures

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.
