PBSC January - Anything Goes...Optional 'Something New'...More Inspiration!

Happy Saturday everyone! 

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

Here are the DTs favourite projects from December's 'Anything Goes' (Optional 'Winter or Christmas') challenge:

Helen's favourite: #64 - Christy
Helen says: I love the way Christy painted the background scene for this cute hedgie - a perfect winter wonderland!


Jenny's favourite: #74 - Maura 
Jenny says: I love the stunning AI background and the way Maura used it with the beautiful PB die-cut

Lynda's favourite: #57 - Maura

Lynda says:  Maura has created winter wonderland of beauty on her card.  Her use of color and placement of the elements, along with the details of the snow banks, shadows, clouds, and snow flakes combine to make this a work of art.


Natalie's favourite: #62 - Cat Luvs Paper
Natalie says: Such a fun card! It's also a great way of making the wider Penny Black stamps more versatile for use on smaller card sizes by masking off parts of it whilst stamping.

Sue's favourite: Elliblelle

Sue says: Such a fun little scene-great use of sentiment as well!

Congratulations ladies - please grab our 'PBSC Favourite' badge for your blog!
