It's Time to Trim the Tree for Challenge #45

 

Hi there, I'm back to Trim the Tree for Challenge #45 and to say a very big thank you to everyone who took part in this challenge - it was great to see so many regular players plus some new friends join the fun!

Thanks also for the lovely comments about Mom's cards - she was thrilled to hear that you loved her creations. It was great fun having my mom as our guest and I have to say that she was very conscientious in carrying out her elfin duties. Thanks, Mom, it was lovely having you as elf at Christmas Kickstart! 

So, let's get down to announcing our winners for Challenge #45 - If It's Christmassy, Link it Up!

Our Top Picks are:

This stunning card set our pulses racing with the gold-die cut against the shades of red.

Topping the Tree we have not one but two beautiful cards!
