Top Picks - Inspired by a Christmas Carol

Thank you to everyone who entered our inspired by a Christmas Carol Challenge last week.

We thought all your entries were wonderful and inspiring!

Below is the Design Teams Top Pick.

Jane

My choice for top pick this week is Jane's Christmas card.  Jane was inspired by the Christmas Carol  "In the Bleak Midwinter".  It is such a beautiful carol that I went on Youtube to listen to it or the first time this year.  The card is as pretty as the song and she gave step by step instructions on how she created it.  Lovely art work Jane.  Hope to see you back here again soon.

Judy



Sarah



I have chosen Sarah's card for my top pick this week.
Sarah I love the layout of your card and the wonderful image you have used.
This is a perfect Christmas card.
Thanks for sharing with us this week and we hope to see you again soon.

Winner and Top Pick - Stars and Stripes

Dana

I have chosen Dana's card as the winner and top pick for the Stars and Stripes Challenge. The simple layout and the idea of using stars to make the tree, and the striped paper behind was a perfect project for our challenge. Thanks for playing along and hope you will join us again soon, for another challenge.

Barbara

My choice for top pick for this week is Barbara's snowman.  I like how she used the stars and stripe theme and the cute image she used for the card.  Great Christmas card Barbara.  Hope you will be back to play with us again soon.  Judy


Joyce





Lindyloo




My top pick for this week is Lindyloo's sweet card in red and white.  The fun background stripes remind me of peppermint candy.  The image is so cute too.  Thanks for sharing your adorable card with us this week!

Our sponsor this time is Bugaboo

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 three 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.
