Hello Playmates - Sarn here - popping back in the middle of Di's challenge, to share my Top Picks and the FOUR prize winners for Challenge #495.
Before we go any further, one of our regular playmates, Sue (Zouave Cards) has asked us to let you know that her husband, Roy, passed away on Friday, 20th December. She is obviously heartbroken and isn't up to putting anything on her own blog, which is why she asked Di if we could say something on her behalf. We hope that those of you who know Sue will join with us in sending her our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy.
Moving on . . . my three top picks, in entry order, are:
This lovely card in blue and white was brought along to the Playground by Papierelle. I love all the blue tones for the forest of trees behind the sweet little wintry cottage scene.
Next up is Sandy J's wonderfully festive floral card in red and gold - proving that you don't actually need a poinsettia die to trick the eye into thinking that's what you're seeing!
My final pick is by Taty, who brought along some beautiful festive packaging ideas using up lots of snippets with her dies
If you've been showcased, please feel free to collect your 'Top Pick' badge from HERE.
The four randomly picked winners, in entry order, are:
Congratulations to you all.

Wishing playmates old and new all the best for a happy, healthy and peaceful 2025 from me (and my teamies - Miss Di and Dudley Dog).
I certainly do want to send my heartfelt condolences to Sue, so sad.
