Honorable Mentions and Top Honor for August Theme Challenge #8

Oh Wow!  The DT was just blown away with all the amazing entries we saw this week for our Theme Challenge - Christmas Song or Hymn - such great talent and inspiration from all of you.  You had us all singing Christmas tunes in our heads as we were popping into your blogs.  Ruth was even asking if someone knew a good remedy to get a song "un-stuck" from her head - LOL.  Won't be too long really before we are singing for real.  And won't it feel good that you have most if not all your Christmas cards ready because you have been playing along with us each week?  We so appreciate each and every one of you and are so glad that you continue to share with use.  

Ok so enough chit-chat... I (Danielle) do tend to be a bit wordy sometimes, my apologies.  Once again you made it so very difficult for us to narrow it down to just 5 Honorable Mentions and the Top Honor... but nonetheless here are our choices: 

Honorable Mention (in numeric order):

#2 Helen





#9 - Kylie

#13 - Susie

#17 - Eileen

#20 - Sarah

 



Congratulations to all of you! Don't forget to grab your badge and display it proudly on your blogs. 

And our Top Honor this week at 52CCT goes to ..... #12 Brigit/Biggan and #14 Leesa aka the Navy Wife (we had tie!).  Both of your cards were just too fabulous and we couldn't decide between them so Congrats to both of you! Grab your badge and display it with pride!    

Here is Brigit's card

 

and here is Leesa's card

Congrats!!! Grab your badge and display it with pride for your fabulous creations. 

Don't forget to check our our current challenge... an embellishment challenge that might have you feeling a little "chippy".  Merry Crafting!
