A beautiful winter and Christmas scene. The window makes me look out and see still Christmas.

Koyel chose #38.

Love the Christmas tag.. cute digi, lovely background paper.

Helen chose #43 Francesca

I loved this idea and I'm sure her daughter loved. She must have put so much work into it.

Andree chose #65 Carrie

Carrie's mushroom themed card is gorgeous. The fold looks wonderful with the hearts that flip to show the heartfelt sentiments and cute die-cut mushrooms. There are lovely stamped details and pretty papers throughout and the addition of the personalised calendar is a fabulous idea. A lovely keepsake card.

Dagmara chose #76 CarolG

Beautiful CAS card, adorable stamp, very nicely colored, I appreciate the mask work. It seems very difficult to me, so I appreciate it very much.

Carole chose #104 Suze

I love Suze's fancy fold card and the beautiful image with co-ordinating papers.

Lorraine chose #118 Trijntje

This snowy, card has a beautiful design using the die cut snowflake background to showcase the cute image. The layered trees add depth to the scene too.

Ileana chose #130 Helen

Beautiful simple design, I love soft colours and image. Wonderful colouring.

Don't forget that the new challenge starts tomorrow.

We'd love to see you there!
