Let's Trim the Tree for Challenge #98

Hurray, I've finally found time to drop by and Trim the Tree for Challenge #98! Life just seems so busy right now.

We were in excellent company for this challenge as we had a sweet card by my lovely friend Becca as our inspiration. Thanks for being our Elf, Becca, it was fun partnering-up with you.

Becca picked a fun theme for our challenge together and an impressive #34 of you played along and shared your Winter Warmer cards! Thank you to everyone who joined the fun. Your cards were all lovely, but here are just a few that caught our eye!

Our Top Picks for this challenge are:

#7 - Margreet

Isn't this just the sweetest little card!

#13 - Linda

Another fabulous card from Linda! Just look at how she's put together this little scene.

#33 - Greta

We both love Greta's cosy snowman.

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

We both love Dawn's sweet card with it's beautiful colouring and pretty colour palette!

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

I really love this little cutie and for my inspired by... card I picked-up the different colours of the circles behind the bird, but turned them into presents instead.

Becca and I very much hope you'll come and play along with us! We look forward to seeing how YOU interpret our challenge theme!

The Christmas Kickstart Challenge #98 - Winter Warmers

Hi Kickstarters... It's time for another fun Challenge!

I am beyond delighted to welcome the lovely Becca to join us as our elfin guest this month. I feel like I've 'known' Becca for a long time but was struggling to remember just how we first crossed paths. I think we may have bumped into one another as participants in Janis W's wonderful Cat Lover's Blog Hops; I was so grateful to Becca when she helped put together our tribute challenge for Janis as one of the fabulous Helpful Hoppers.

Let's welcome our Elf...

"I'm Becca and live in South Florida. I didn't start crafting until I was in my 20's when my Mom taught me to cross stitch. Then we went to craft shows where I found Creative Memories and scrapbooking. And then other fun crafts like clay, home decor for all the holidays until it eventually led me to card making. I am in my craft room every day making a card for a challenge. It's simply my happy place and I just enjoy it. I have a large family so I get to make lots of cards for them for every occasion. And they even seem to like them!  lol"

Challenge #98 - Winter Warmers

Becca has picked a fun theme and we both think it works equally well for hot chocolate, alcoholic beverages or sweaters, or indeed anything you creative wonders of Cardland can up with!

Here's what Becca has made to get us in the zone:

I know, I know! I love this so much. You can find all the details about her sweet card over on Becca Flickr site here. 

Here's my first make for our challenge together:
