The Flower Challenge #15 Reminder

                                                   Welcome back to The Flower Challenge. 
                        It's the midway point in our current challenge and here is a reminder

                                                                     

      

                      
                           It would be great if you could add our cue card above when

                                                              entering our challenge.

                                                     Of course most of all....have fun!
                          

   As the name suggests 'Anything but a Card' is just that.

    I can think of a few things you could make, boxes ,bags,

 calendars, ATC's, stationery, journals etc .etc. but if you

 get stuck what about making a tag!

                                   Also please remember to use your Florals and they must be
                                                       the MAIN image on your card.
                                                                     

and here is some more wonderful inspiration from our design team.

      It would be great if you could add our cue card above when

   entering our challenge.

Of course most of all....have fun!

                          

    As the name suggests 'Anything but a Card' is just that.

                                I can think of a few things you could make,boxes,bags,

   calendars, ATC's, stationery, journals, scrapbook pages
 etc.etc.  but if you get stuck what about making a tag!

            

 Please remember to use your Floral images and they must be

                                                         the MAIN feature of your card.

     

We are lucky to have the very talented Michelle Short from 

'The Card Grotto' as our Guest Designer this month. Make sure

 to check out her blog (and leave her some comment love) as
she has some amazing cards there. I also envy her craft
room organization, if only I could be more like that!

The Flower Challenge 'Picks for the Month of November'

  Now comes the hardest part of the Challenge. 

                          

    We decided we didn't want to use the Random Picker as it was felt

        that cards should be chosen for a number of reasons not 'luck of the draw'.

        When we look at the cards entered we are each drawn to different styles,

        techniques and designs. So all the design team have input, each has been

          asked to pick out three cards that stand out to them and why.

      The cards getting the most votes will then be posted on our Winners post

         and the other cards will be listed under Top Pick and Honourable Mention.

It was very difficult to choose a winner this time! We all had four 
 clear favourite cards we liked. In the end one just pipped the post
as a winner I am pleased to say. So without further ado.....

 The  Winner for this month is
