For A Cut Above:
Ann's Choice: Silke
Ledlow
From the beautiful bow to the fabulous
flowers, Silke's card is absolutely stunning! The delightful image is colored
perfectly to coordinate with the designer paper she used as her background.
Gazing at this card, which is further accented with gold pearls and gold cord,
puts me right in card heaven! Congratulations, Silke, for being my selection for
A Cut Above!
Anne Marie's Choice: Sheri W.
Sheri's cute, little snowman card really made
me smile! I really like the texture of the embossed background and the soft
blues in the color combo. I especially like all of the "snowy" accents she
added, from blanketing the snowman image in a layer of Iridescent Ice embossing
powder, to the icy edging on the tilted panel. This card is "snow" much fun, in
every way! Congratulations Sheri, on being my pick for A Cut Above this week!
Nance’s choice: Heidi
Baks
Oh how I love trees, so Heidi’s card caught my
eye right away! I love her
interpretation of this week’s sketch and am in awe over the way she perfectly
aligned the tree stamp inside and outside of the shaker frame. The sparkly hillside and sponged background
create the perfect winter wonderland for the little red bird to pop! Fabulous card, Heidi…congratulations, you’re
my choice for A Cut
Above!
I loved that Jen took the sketch challenge and
created a CD holder instead. The snipped and popped up tree looks fabulous
against the Navy background, and the white stitching is the finishing touch on
that panel. Jen also incorporated the gift tag into the sketch in a way that
felt so natural and stayed true to the challenge. Overall the card is crisp,
clean and fabulous. Or... a clean and simple creation that is simply stunning.
Congratulations on being my Cut Above this week, Jen.
This week's challenge had so many fabulous
entries and Vicki's is a testament to that. I love the color combination Vicki
used for the card and how she paired the Letter's From Santa DSP with crumb
cake. The colors give this card such a warm and toasty feel and my eyes keep
roaming over the card with all those lovely stripes. Vicki used on of my
favorite holiday images which is beautifully colored and accented by that
delicious bow. The little pice of linen thread and silver balls are the perfect
finishing touches to this scrumptious card. Congratulations, Vicki, for being my
choice for Cut Above!
Gisela’s
card stood out to me right away with that beautiful pearl Christmas tree! Her
placement of the pearls is so well-done that her tree is shaped
perfectly….paired with the lovely sparkly snowflakes and the iridescent ribbon,
her card is truly a delight for the eyes and will make someone happy this
Christmas season! Congratulations, Gisela, for being my Cut Above this
week!
Susan's
Choice: Carol Parcell
I
love Carol's choice of image, her beautiful colour combination and the embossed
red panel just adds so much life to her card. Carol's perfect colouring and the
snowflake and brad are gorgeous finishing touches. Congratulation's Carol your
card is my Cut
Above for this
week
For our Headliner:
Lesley's Choice-Mona Pendelton
Mona's card is an elegant masterpiece! She
created this card for her sister, whose birthday is coming up soon. I love the
soft, fresh colours and the combination of pattern papers. The beautiful bow
and tag, highlighted by the vintage rose really added to the elegance of this
card! Her superb colouring, flawless detail and feminine touches all made this
card the Headliner for me this week! Congratulations
Mona!
What a wonderful week of submissions! Tomorrow
Nance will be back with a FUN and UNIQUE theme challenge we know you will
enjoy!
Due to blogger issues, Julie will be adding her choice
for Cut Above a little later.
Smiles,
Lesley
