#25 Mimi's

Marsha's Choice:  Mimi's card is lovely and has such an Oriental feel about it.   Chickadees are a favorite of mine.  The Nuvo drops was a clever way of introducing the Cassiopeia constellation into the design.

#32 Ma-Mi

Tristan's Choice:  I love the little fireplace scene she has created with her Santa poking out to see if anyone can see him. A very fun, cheeky card.

#29 Trina P

Helen's Choice:  Trina's cute little moving Santa creates such a bright and happy card as he leaves his snow angel' marks in the background. Very clever use of circle dies!

#15 Darnell

#31 Linda (loopyloocards)

Charlotte's Choice:  A pretty CAS birthday card. The colouring of the flowers pops beautifully against the neutral leaves.
