Let's Trim the Tree for Challenge #88

Hi guys, it's time to Trim the Tree for Challenge #88, but before we break out the baubles and unpack the tinsel I need to say a huge thank you to guest elf Leslie from Running with Scissors. Leslie has been having a truly tough month (which she explains in her blog post here), but she's still commented and chatted, and helped choose our Top Picks. Thank you so much, Leslie, you are one amazing lady, and I'm sending heaps of love to both you and Rich. 

Here are our picks for this challenge. This proved to be a very popular theme and we had some fabulous entries. Thanks to all our participants. 

Our Top Picks for this challenge are:

#26 - Denise

We both love Denise's clean and crisp design, 

her sweet hedgehog and the 'pop' of polka dot trim on the frame.

#34 - Lorraine

Just look at the adorable scene Lorraine has created! 

So much gorgeous detail, and her use of the kraft card. 

#39 - Melanie

Just look at how Melanie used the window to 'frame' her gorgeous snowman.

#48 Claire

This sweet little card is simply loaded with Christmas cheer.

Our Winner and Star on the Tree for this week is:

#10 - Linda

Leslie said "I love Linda's use of patterned paper and the holly embellishment with the 

wood grain frame for the beautifully colored and very happy penguins." and I couldn't agree more!

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

Rudolph is here to announce his Random Raffle WINNER:
