Her album is amazing and so creative

Koyel chose #23 Rosi

Love the monochromatic background and love the image.

Sari chose #36 Susan Sudbury

Love the image and the coloring is gorgeous, all grey with pops of bright red. Stunning card.

A very elegant looking card. Lovely, soft earthy colours and a beautifully coloured image of the Cala lilies. A fabulous idea to add the lace trimmed doily behind it and create this wonderfully classic card

Carole chose #68 Wendy Anne Batchen

A sweet and adorable card. Wendy's colouring is perfect for this  cute crocodile and the background is magical too.

Dagmara chose #81 Chris

I love suricates! This one is adorable and fun in that cape, like a superhero. Chris made a great background for her too!

Danuta chose ##84 Margaret A

The beautiful fall colors, image and layout create a wonderful combination.
