Hi, guys! I hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend. 

It's time to Trim the Tree for Challenge #84, where we played

Thanks so much for being our elf for this challenge, Meghan, and for picking such a fun theme. It was great getting to know you and being inspired by your fabulous card creation. Thanks so much!

We had some amazing cards and the gallery was a green delight for this challenge, so thanks to everyone who joined the fun.

Our Top Picks for this challenge are:

#13 - Jules

Isn't this just the cutest, and so beautifully made.

Meghan and I were thrilled to see that Toni brought the Grinch to the party!

Just look at Gail's patchwork of green papers, the fabulous Santa and how 

the embossing pulls everything together so beautifully!

Christmas Kickstart Challenge #84 Reminder - Get your Grinch On!

Before we get started, can I just say how I'm blown away by all the gorgeous green in our gallery for this challenge! You guys are rocking this challenge and no mistake.

Yes, we've reached the 15th of the month and so it's time for a little memory jogging for our current challenge as we play...

Challenge #84 - Get Your Grinch On!

We're in super-talented company with elf, Meghan, from Made By Meghan K. 

Here's a reminder of the card Meghan created for our challenge:

Isn't her colouring amazing! Her cards always have me swooning. 

For my 'Inspired by... ' creation I borrowed the sketch from Meghan's beautiful card plus her use of patterned paper, and this is what I came up with. 

You can see the details of how I created this card, and another card for this theme, over on my blog by clicking here.

I had so much fun making my card, and decided to employ a technique I always enjoy: paper - piecing!
