Let's Trim the Tree for Challenge #59

 

Phew, I've finally found time to sit down and write this post during what seems to be a surprisingly busy week.

Our guest for this Challenge #59 was the lovely Jen from Jenerally Speaking and our theme was The Sentiment Takes Centre Stage.

Isn't this a great picture? It so deserves a caption! I'd like to say a very big thank you to Jen for undertaking her elfin duties and also for all the 'backstage' chat and friendship we've shared while partnering for this challenge. Jen, you're one in a million.

We had some gorgeous, really eye-catching cards in the gallery and it took Jen and me a little while to decide on our favourites. 

Our Top Picks are:

Toni

We just loved everything about Toni's pretty creation.

Linda

Just look at this classy card - such lovely attention to detail.

Eliz

That beautiful, sparkly background really let's the sentiment and images 'pop'.

This week we have two fabulous cards Topping the Tree.

Sally

We love the jaunty angle of the 'E', and the glitter is a terrific touch.

Cornelia

The gold embossing against the black and the positioning of the 

red gems really 'wowed' us.

Congratulations to you all. Please grab, display and enjoy your blog badges!

Rudolph is here to award his Random Raffle Prize for this challenge.

 

Congratulations #22 Alison C - it's you!

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

Thanks again to Jen and to everyone who played along in our challenge. There's a brand new elf and she's chosen a fab new theme, so please come take a look and play along!

We have the lovely Jen as our inspiration for this theme and just look what she made!

Jen's fabulous card ticked soooo many boxes for me and I just wanted to CASE the heck outta it!
