Let's trim the Tree for Challenge #90

Let's see if we can brighten up Monday for a few folks as we Trim the Tree for Challenge #90!

We were joined by the lovely and very talented, Jenny Martin from My Paper Epiphany as our elf and she did us proud with a fabulous creation as we played:

Embossing Folder Fun!

Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us, Jenny, and thanks also for all the chat behind the scenes - it's been fun getting to know you! 

Both Jenny and I loved seeing your beautiful creations for this challenge, and we loved how many different techniques you guys used to demonstrate the versatility of the not so humble embossing folder!

Our Top Picks for this challenge are:

#3 - Dawn

Just look at the way Dawn used Colour Burst Powders with her Embossing folder.

The white wording really 'pops' against that luscious background. 

#28 - Denise B

We love how Denise enhanced the embossing with white ink.

#31 - Helen

A cute pup, and a gorgeous background with beautiful blending and 

sanding of the embossing.

This Challenge was just so difficult to call for a single Star, so sharing Top Spot for this month we have two fabulous cards from two very talented makers.

Our Winners and Stars on the Tree for this week are:

#11 - Leslie M

and

#12 - Arlene Rose

Congratulations to you all, I hope you'll enjoy flaunting your blog badges 

for all the world to see!

Finally, here's Rudolph to announce the WINNER of his September Random Raffle:  

 

#17 - Julia A... It's you!

Congratulations, Julia, please email me a dottypudding (at) aol.com with your snail mail address so I can connect you with your prize. 

Once again, a very big thank you to Jenny, and a big thank you to everyone who played along with this challenge - you guys always bring the fun and totally make Christmas Kickstart what it is! 

There's a new challenge underway and a lovely, shiny new elf in the form of Faith from Daffodil Cards! We'd love it if you'd come and play along!
