Design Team Favourites for February

These favourites are listed in the numerical order.

Jackie Trinder chose #35 Christina

This is such an impressive card. I love the delicate colour palate. This card would look so amazing on display.

 Danuta Brzezińska chose #51 Astrid

I like the colors and parchment decorations. A great image completes the whole.

 Andrée Crowe #60  Rachelle Oltean

This is a wonderfully colourful card dominated by a striking image that's been beautifully coloured. The card has been perfectly finished with a lovely sentiment and some simple sequins.

 Kelly Parker chose #64 Glennis

I love the CAS card and this card has a wonderful background with a silhouette die for the card front.

 Cass Stromboli chose #66 Teresa

Beautiful one layer card. Love the cat image and design of the card.

 Claudia Martins chose #76 Maz

I loved the design, the way she colored the image and set up the project !! Everything in this project is simple and beautiful !! I loved everything she did !! Image is very sweet.

 Susan Moffatt chose #128 Pat K

Striking yellow and black combination - perfect for this card.

 Carole Jones chose #144 Tracey

Tracey's project immediately caught my eye. It is a beautiful, fabric journal page with fabulous, crunchy looking texture stencilled with paste and beads. The focal point is a wonderfully pieced 'doll'. I love the doll's hair - it's stringy in parts and it's blue! Amazing mixed media work!

 Tracey Mowbray chose  #162 Elaine

Gorgeous colouring & a cutie giraffe.

Ileana Artuffo chose #168 Valérie

I love simple design and choice of beautiful papers. Image is very sweet.

  Dagmara Gorczyńska chose #169  Crafty Amy

I love the stamp choice, coloring and humor.

No April Fools Here! It's our 50th Challenge!

Hello, and welcome to our monthly Challenge, this month we are sponsored by Star Stampz who are offering 3 of their beautiful digi stamps to our winner.

Thank you so much for your entries last month, Jackie will be posting the winners post for you on the winners page (tab above!) We were also delighted with the number of people who responded to the DT Call and are currently contacting everybody who applied!

I am sorry to let you know that we are saying goodbye to Isobel this month as she is going to concentrate on other areas of crafting and her wonderful family. Isobel joined Crafts Galore when it first started and took over shared responsibility for it with myself, when it became Crafts Galore Encore. She has been a fabulous admin and team member and we will all miss her immensely. We wish her lots of luck though and look forward to seeing her in blog land!

On a happier note I am delighted that Jackie has joined the admin team to help share the workload!

Wishing you all a happy and peaceful Easter,

Happy Crafting,
