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 'Christmas') challenge:

Helen B's favourite: #34 - Christy Sugiarto

Helen says: Christy made a fabulous collection of Christmas treat bags...this little birdie one is totally adorable!


Helen F's favourite: #9 - Loll

Helen says: Loll has created a wonderfully wintery feel for her card featuring this sweet little bird.





Jenny's favourite: #33 - Nonni

Jenny says: I love the layout and gorgeous colour combo of Nonni's card!



Lorraine's favourite: #5 - Nancy

Lorraine says: I love the pretty poinsettia stamp shown off by the cas design of the card. The die cut 'happy' looks fabulous sitting in the flower.



Natalie's favourite: #4 - Marianne
Natalie says: I love the simplicity of the design along with the non-traditional colour scheme of green and brown. A beautiful card!

 

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