Design Team Favourites for November
These favourites are listed in the numerical order.

Please Take Your DT Favourite Badge from the Side Bar 


Andree chose #19 Betta 
A wonderfully clever gift bag created to look like a handbag and decorated with beautiful papers. The matching card is also gorgeous and the fabulously coloured images on both are delightful. A lovely gift set.
Ileana chose #29 Karen Letchworth
I love original choice of papers and how she made pumpkins. Beautiful design and background.
Sari choose #98 Lisa J
Coloring is beautiful, love the all blue scene and seeing that cute little snowman makes me happy 
Lorraine choose #118 Bernadette 
This is such a beautiful interactive 3D design with lots of fabulous moving elements, a card and a gift all in one.
Dagmara chose #160 Andrea Norris 
I'm crazy about rats! Andrea's rats absolutely charmed me, they are beautifully coloured and decorated, I would love to get a card like this myself!
Danuta chose #172 Diane.
Red and green are great for a Christmas card. And this beautifully colored image. I have already conceived Christmas.
Helen chose #173 - Nicola Gold 
Love the image of the snowman with the wreath and the scene she has created on the card.
Carole chose 181 Priya
I love these cute, three dimensional pieces from Priya. The super fun animal images are beautifully decorated with leaves and flowers whilst the textural trims beneath add dimension and pearls add some shine. Gorgeous work! 

Don't forget that the new challenge starts tomorrow.

*** New DT member ***
We are delighted to introduce another new DT member this month - she's a fabulous, super-creative lady .... it's Sari Aavamaki from Finland, also know in the crafting world as Granne. 
You can find Granne's blog here and here is a little bit about her: 

I'm a Finnish mother of 2 adult girls. I've been stamping since 2011. I got started when my neighbour introduced me to the world of stamping and paper crafting in real life and in blog land; that's how my blog also got it's name: Granne (=neighbour in Swedish). Usually I make cards, but do love making ATCs, Art Journals, altered items, and, and, and ... what ever seems to be fun and inspires me. Sometimes things work out nicely, sometimes not, but I have fun creating.

Welcome to the Crafts Galore Encore team, Sari - we are so happy you joined the team. We can't wait to see what you make!
