Winner and Top Pick for Winter Fun

Judy is away this week, so instead of her picking the winner for her challenge, we are going to do a random draw for the winner of the digital images from Bugaboo. Here are the other designer's top picks for this week.

Joey

For my choice this week I have chosen Joey's lovely Surfin Santa . I just think he is adorable, and he is having fun, but it's all the special details she's added to the card, that has made her my top pick. Thanks for playing along with us Joey, Hope to see you again soon.
Cindy

This whimsical tag was my top choice this week as well.  I just couldn't help giggling when I saw the cute image paired with all of the fun details.  TFS with us this week Joey!
Paige 

Annemarie

I have chosen Annemarie's wonderful card for my top pick this week. 

Annemarie I love the colours and all the fabulous details of this card. A great image and softly coloured.

A perfect creation for our challenge, thanks so much for sharing with us this week. We hope to see you back again soon.

Winter Fun

Judy, here.  What a great group of Christmas cards for last week's challenge.  Glitter is so much fun.  Hope you will play along with us again this week. 

 It is my choice for this week's challenge and I thought an outdoor sports theme Christmas card would be fun to do.  

Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Digital Stamps and that means a great prize for one lucky winner.

Here is a little information on Bugaboo’s History:

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell  decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of paper crafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we’re still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you’re bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 

If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps at Totally Stampalicious . And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

 I can think of a lot of different ideas for a card and the design team has created some great cards to inspire you.

My choice this week for top pick is Claire's shaker card.  What a pretty card.  Great colouring and lots of glitter. I also love the image she has chosen.  Wonderful card Claire.

Bonnie

My top pick this week is this classy card by Bonnie. The subtle background paper is beautiful and I love that she kept the focal point simple as not to take away from the delicate patterned paper.  What a simply elegant card Bonnie!  Thanks for sharing with us.
