It's Time To Trim the Tree for Challenge #69.

Hi everyone, I hope that your New Year is going well and that you've managed to squeeze in some time in your craft rooms.

For the final challenge of 2022 we played the by now traditional If It's Christmassy, Link It Up! and an amazing 170 of you joined the fun. Thank you so much to everyone who linked to this challenge. I'm hoping to comment on all the posts, but if I don't make it please forgive me.

Yet again, the cards for this challenge were so inspirational.

The Top Picks for this challenge are:

#2 - Stephanie

The colours and CAS design that Stephanie has chosen make this a very special card.

#73 - Valerie

The positioning of the partial circle feature takes this card to the next level.

#98 - Fabiola

Just look at that colour combo and such a harmonious design.

                                                         

#102 - Suze

This one tickled my funny bone and no mistake!

Our Winner and Tree Topper for this week is:

#143 - Janet

Isn't this beautiful? The embossing background is the perfect foil for the gorgeous, larger image.

Congratulations to you all, I hope you enjoy flaunting your blog badges for all the world to see!

Once again, thank to everyone who played along. There were plenty of regular players, plus some new friends in the gallery and I look forward to all of you joining the fun here at Christmas Kickstart during 2023. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
