Winner's Post #271-Hot Pink and Lime

Hey crafters! It's time to announce the winner for my theme of Hot Pink and Lime, along with the winner for our Anything Goes theme. I loved seeing your colourful entries, and it really was difficult for me to choose an overall winner. But I kept being drawn back to Jolande's wonderful collaged flower card. I loved the texture and 3D-ness of it and just want to touch it!

For our Anything Goes theme, I loved Kathy's stencilled peacock feather card with the soft colouring.

Congratulations!

Jolande

and

Kathy

You both managed to "Take the Cake" this week!

We hope you will enjoy your Winner's Badge!

Jolande, please contact Nancy at Leppeknancy@gmail.com

and she will give you all the details about guesting with us.

"Birthday Honours" are...

Congratulations!

Winners #270-Repetitive Die-cuts

Hello, Crafters!

It's time to announce the Winners of our last challenge where the topping was "Repetitive Die-Cuts". The gallery had many awesome creations both with and without the topping so choosing is always difficult. I know it's hard to think about Birthday cards when Halloween is coming up so quickly and the Holiday Season is right behind that, so thanks so much to those who took the time to play along with us.

Let's go see which cards caught my attention!

Congratulations!
