Let's Trim the Tree for Challenge #110

Hi guys, I'm a little late with Trimming the Tree this month. I've been on holiday in Croatia and appear to have left my brains and energy somewhere on the stunning Dalmation Coast. 

Our elf for this month was the lovely Joanne from Ambrosia and Iron and I'm so grateful for all her help and creativity. Thanks, Joanne, you're a star!

Our challenge for May was Season's Tweetings and we had some amazing entries! Choosing just three cards as Top Picks was almost impossible, so this month we have 4 cards to showcase instaed!

Our Top Picks for this challenge are:

#25 - Greta

We both love the balance of Greta's card, add in a beautifully coloured cardininal 

and an embossed background and we were hooked!

#25 - Linda

So simple and yet soooo effective. Ooodles of white space that 

showcases Linda's beautifully paper-pieced birdies to perfection.

#15 - Chrissy

So funny and festive  - we both love this!

#28 - Leslie

We loved the dark green die cut peeking out to provide definition for the white foreground one and the dramatic pop of rich red to contrast with all the delicate white texture.

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

#8 - Helen

Here's what Joanne said: "Great layout, perfect use of a patterned paper with the image, great colouring and such a great image, this one really made me smile." 

I echo her thoughts 100%!

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

And before I wrap things up, here is Rudolph with the WINNER of his Random Raffle Draw!

 

#13 - Dawn in NZ... It's you!
