*** 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!

Would you like to join our DT?

We still have a couple of spaces left to fill on the DT, so if you would like to join us, please add DT next to your entry name in the challenge or email Carole at cardsgaloreencore@yahoo.co.uk

No previous experience is necessary.

Design Team Favourites for November

These favourites are listed in the numerical order.

Kelly Parker chose #24 Yasmin

I love the gel print background on this festive card and cole depth of colors are just gorgeous.

 Andrée Crowe #70 Granne

A wonderfully elegant Christmas card created with lovely layers including a beautiful panel of embossed velum.

Jackie Trinder chose #71 Bernadet

All I can say is Wow. This is an amazing project to welcome a new baby. The train is so cute with its adorable bears on-board. It even folds flat for posting. I am sure this will be treasured for a long time.

 Tracey Mowbray chose #81 ScrappyHorses

What a cute image and brilliant colouring and layout.

 Danuta Brzezińska chose #124 Repolainen

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

 Carole Jones chose #146 Rosina

Rosina has made such a beautifully crafted card with an unusual centre fold. Pretty pastel colours, gorgeous images and feminine lacy and flowery embellishments adorn her card. I can tell this was made with love!

  Dagmara Gorczyńska chose #153  Cat

A beautiful card, the kind with taste, elegant. Beautiful colors, stamps and insane colouring. 

 

Stay Safe and Well in these troubled times. 

The new challenge starts tomorrow.
