Let's Trim the Tree for Challenge #72

It's Tree Trimming time again as we look back at Challenge #72 where Monika from Tinker Cards and I asked you to Get Wrapped Up for Christmas!

Thanks so much for being our elf for this challenge, Monika, it was great fun chatting and getting to know you as the month progressed. We wanted to see Scarves for this challenge and you guys certainly didn't disappoint as we had 50 fabulously cosy creations in the linky gallery! Thanks so much to all our participants. Your cards were all so lovely that it was really tricky to pick just a few favourites, but this is what we came up with:

Our Top Picks for this challenge are:

#12 - Dawn

Just look at this cute couple sharing a scarf! Love the embossed snowflakes too.

#16 - Darnell

Genius!

Our Winner and Tree Topper for this week is:

#46 - Fran

Doesn't that deer look cosy? We both love this witty take on our theme. 

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

Finally, there's just time to announce the winner of Rudolph's Random Raffle:

  

#14 - Gail (Crafty Nomad)... It's you!

I inked-up yet another sweet little MFT set for my inspired by card and CASE'd Monika's lovely background and they way she 'hangs' her characters over the edge of the masked area. Thanks for the inspiration, Monika!

Christmas Kickstart Challenge #72 - Wrapped up for Christmas

 

Hi folks, we've marched into March and here in the UK Spring is well and truly in the air.

I'm delighted to welcome the very lovely Monika from Tinker Cards as our elf for this month.

"Hi, I'm Monika. Cardmaking has been a passion of mine for some years now. It started off with an idea of making my own Christmas cards. Since then I have made many cards, small canvases and journaling books using my treasured stamps and dies. I like sharing my projects online on my blog and in various crafting groups on Facebook."

It's great to have you here, Monika, and once I'd discovered you possess superb knitting skills in addition to your cardmaking skills, it only seemed appropriate to pick the following as the theme for our month together... 

Challenge #72 - Wrapped up for Christmas

We'd love to see a scarf or scarves on your cards, please.

Just look at Monika's adorable card - she's picked the cutest images and positioned them perfectly on that pretty masked background. You can find all the details of how Monika made her card by visiting her blog. 

I broke out a sweet little MFT set for my card. I do miss seeing new Birdie Brown images, so decided to collect as many of Yoshi's older images as I can. 

Rudolph is here as usual with a prize for his Random Raffle. 

Nice work, Rudolph - a perfect prize for our fun theme!  

So, please join Monika and me for our fun challenge... and don't forget we want to see a scarf or scarves on your Christmas Cards!
