Happy Saturday everyone! 

We're back with some more inspiration for our current challenge, and the announcement of our chosen guest designer and DT favourites from last month's challenge!

Firstly, here are the DTs favourite projects from September's 'Nature' challenge:


Greta's  Favourite: #4 - Lyn

Greta says: Gorgeous colors & coloring with great placement of the sentiment. The striped piece on the side sets it off perfectly!


Helen's Favourite: #28 - Ger

Helen Says: Watercolour stamping is one of my favourite techniques...and this is a stunning example. A beautiful festive card! 

Natalie's Favourite: #17 - Maura

Natalie says: The visual layers created on this card simply by using different shades of ink are perfect on this one layer creation! 

Sylvie's Favourite: #41 - Sunshinepen

Sylvie says: A stunning Xmas Card ...the inking is fabulous ...and the love the scene that it has created...
