January Colour Challenge

Hello and thank you to everyone who played along last week and shared your lovely cards with us!  It was so nice to see so many folks ready to start making their Christmas cards right at the start of January - keep up that good work, we're always happy to see your Christmas creations!   

This week it's a colour challenge.  We'd like to see purple, metallic silver and white on your cards - this is one of my favourite colour combos for Christmas!

The DT call is ongoing through the whole of January so don't forget to add DT after your name when you link up your card if you'd like to apply to join our DT! 

Now here's the week's inspiration for you from the DT gals.

January Sketch Challenge - Plus Design Team Call

Hello friends, welcome to another year of Christmas card challenges from us at 52 {C}CT and a happy new year to you all!  Hope you all had a very happy festive season!  It's Ruth here and I'm hosting the challenges in January.  I think I've been very kind and am breaking you in to 2013 quite gently with a nice and easy sketch layout!  Feel free to rotate or flip the sketch and substitute the rectangle shape - please just make sure we can recognise the layout in your card!

A brand new year is exciting enough - but there's more - we have revamped our challenges for 2013!  We will still have sketch and colour combo challenges but we've decided to make the theme weeks theme OR recipe challenges and the embellishment weeks will be embellishment OR technique challenges.  That's more variety and scope for you - and us!  

And that's not all - to add to the excitement we are having a Design Team call throughout January!  If you would like to apply for a spot on the team please make a card for EVERY January challenge and ensure you add DT after your name when you link up your cards for the challenges - thank you!

Now onto the wonderful inspiration for this week from the DT.

December Color Challenge - Honorable Mentions and Top Honors

Hello!  Seems that many people are already quite busy in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and getting ready for Christmas.  We didn't have a lot of entries this past week for our Color Challenge #12 but what we did get just blew us away.  In our eyes they were all winners and we are so honored that you have shared your amazing talents with us!  It was an extremely tight race - we almost felt like we might need to do a recount on the votes... however we did finally make our picks  and they are (drum roll please)....

HONORABLE MENTIONS (in numerical order of entry)

Meg

And for our TOP HONORS - we had a 3 Way TIE!!!  A 3 Way TIE is quite unusual but we really had a hard time with picking just one and since its the holiday season - we decided we needed to recognize all 3 of our TOP HONOR artists this week. They are (in numerical order of entry):
