Let's Trim the Tree for Challenge #101

It's that time again, folks! Yes, we're Trimming the Tree for Challenge #101.

A huge and heartfelt thank you to our lovely elf, Greta. As always, it was a joy to have Greta's company here at The Christmas Kickstart - thanks so much to you, my dear friend.

I'm also so grateful that Greta picked a lovely theme for us to play. There were so many gorgeous and inspiring cards in the gallery this month and just choosing a few to showcase has been super tricky.

Our Top Picks for this challenge are:

#10 - Betty

Isn't this just darling? 

#28 - Darnell

Such an elegant card.

#42 - Gail

Punchy and eye-catching... so striking!

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

#15 - Marcia

Don't these two just grab your heart with both flippers, 

and just look at the beautiful stenciling.

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

 

Rudolph bagged us some Heffy Doodle sweetness as the prize his August Random Raffle...

 

and so who is our winner this month?

# 2 - Karen Walker... It's you!

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

A big thank you once again to Greta, and also to everyone who played along. You guys really bring the fun and it's a real privilege to put on this little challenge for you each month.

Our September challenge is already underway and we have the lovely Leslie from Running With Scissors as our Elfin muse this month, so why not come and join us!
