Design Team Favourites for December

These favourites are listed in the numerical order.

Jackie Trinder chose #5 Kym

This is a great Christmas card. That happy Santa caught my eye straight away. I would be so happy to receive a card like this.

 Ileana Artuffo chose #46 Dina G

I love image and choice of colours, design is wonderful and embellishment are gorgeous.

 Andrée Crowe #101 Judy V

A super seasonal trio of gorgeous Christmas ornaments, each one cleverly crafted with wonderful festive details. It's a fabulously creative entry.

 Carole Jones chose #112 Creative Pixie Designs

I love how Donna took the image and changed it into a faux stained glass window panel. Such a simple technique, but one that I imagine takes much practice. The result is stunning. A most beautiful winter card!

 Danuta Brzezińska chose #121 MeSi

I like the colors and the retro photo itself. The black bottle card contrasts beautifully with the image. The whole thing is very elegant.

I like the brightness of the polar bear against the background of a dark night with stars.

  Dagmara Gorczyńska chose #150  Susan Sudbury

I love the colors and the corgi digi. I'm impressed how she colored his fur!

  

Wishing you all the best for 2021

The new challenge starts tomorrow. 

We would be thrilled for you to join us. 

Best wishes from us all on the Design Team.

I like the idea of using the card as a lantern. The cares are amazing and refined in detail. (I liked it immediately).

Design Team Favourites for October

These favourites are listed in the numerical order.

Andrée Crowe #30 Leslie Turner

A wonderful winter project. This is a gorgeous junk journal made with beautiful vintage inspired papers. Lovely layouts, some with tag pockets, and all finished with fabulous snowflake embellishments.

 Jackie Trinder chose #31 Leslie Turner

I love this decorated cube. Each side is unique and beautiful.

 Kelly Parker chose #60 Rachelle Oltean

Christmas tag I love pinecones and berries plus its a shaker!

 Beverly Cole chose # 70 Rachelle Oltean

Great use of the digital, cropping it before printing. Lush colors and the background adds to the mood.

 Kelly Parker chose #74 Marie Bingaman

 Loved her color and of course, who doesn't love Santa and snowmen!

 Carole Jones chose #86 Judy V

Judy made a gorgeous memory tray, honouring her mum and her mum's two sisters. The black and white photographs are beautiful and are lightly tinted to match the fabulous, floral design paper which was decoupaged to add dimension. Die cut corners and pearls add further elegance to this vintage style tray. I can see this becoming a treasured keep sake!

 Tracey Mowbray chose #110 Chris

So cute love the layout & bright Christmas colours.

  Dagmara Gorczyńska chose #138 Nicola Gold

I love monochrome autumn colors. A wonderfully colored stamp!

 Danuta Brzezińska chose #149 Fit Kitty
