MAY 2024 Favourites: Challenge #123

  Welcome to the Winner's Post for May

Firstly a very big THANK YOU to everyone who takes time to enter our monthly challenges.

Most months one winner is picked using a random number generator and a sponsored prize is won. This month (May 2024) we were playing Just For Fun.

In addition winners are chosen on merit (DT Favourites) and all equally placed. Each winner is selected by a DT member.

Design Team Favourites for May

These favourites are listed in the numerical order.

Please Take Your DT Favourite Badge from the Side Bar

Lorraine chose #3 Dutchess 

The pretty stenciled and embossed design has been done in gorgeous colours with a lovely frame to showcase it.

Ileana chose #50 Francesca 

I love pink and black colour combo and how she used stencil with sentiment die. It's a simple creation but very brillant!

Danuta chose #54 Judy V.

It seems like a simple card, but when I look at it, I admire its colors and elegance.

Carole chose #61 Chrissy

I adore Chrissy's vintage folio. It is packed with pockets, papers, tags, photos and ephemera. The stamps and die cuts all add to the details of this sea faring collection and the sea themed charms add a special touch.

Andree chose #68 Judy V.

A gorgeously decorated printer tray. Beautiful papers in lovely soft colours that tell a wonderful and inspirational story of adventure. A fabulous home decor project.

Koyel chose #121 Chris

Love the wonderful image and the perfect colouring.

Sari chose #121 Chris

I love that image, so magical and fantastic. And awesome coloring, black edges makes the image really pop.

Helen chose 133 - Mary Marsh

A fabulous scene and beautiful colour.

Dagmara chose #144 Michelle M

Beautiful mixed media project! Michelle choose a lovely digi and colored it perfectly. It fits so well to the background!

Congratulations to all the DT Favourites!

Our June challenge starts tomorrow. 

We'd love to see your creations!
