Let's Trim the Tree for Challenge #97

 

With a brand new challenge on the horizon I thought I'd take a moment to say a very big thank you to our elf and to Trim the Tree for Challenge #97!

Challenge #97 - Positively Poinsettias

Our April Elf was the very talented Bobby from Bits and Pieces. Thanks so much, Bobby, you were a dream date and it's been great getting to know you behind the scenes.

Bobby picked a very popular theme for us and we had forty entries for our challenge, which I think is pretty good for April!

You guys created some amazingly beautiful cards and it was so tricky to whittle it down to Top Picks and a Winner as this was such a special challenge and the gallery looks stunning.

  Our Top Picks for this Challenge are

#22 Tatiana

Such a pretty card, and just look at the embossed background 

and the way Tatiana carried the embossing across onto the envelope too. 

#26 - Lesley

Wow! Such a glorious colour palette and a beautiful design. 

#32 - Cindy

A magical card with beautiful stamping.

Our Winner, and Topping the Tree for Challenge #97 we have...

#12 - Linda W

What a master class in cardmaking!

Congratulations to our showcased gals, please grab your badges and flaunt them for all the world to see!

And last, but not least, here's Rudolph to announce the winner of his April Random Raffle Draw.

Its you #37 - Di

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

Once again, a big thank you to Bobby and also to everyone who played along in this challenge. I really appreciate your participation and I love seeing your cards each month!

Challenge #98 will be along very shortly and I hope to see you there!
