Dawn's Rocker:  Love Marlene’s shabby chic snow couple cards. The flowers framing the focal point are so pretty. All in all a beautiful card.

#45  Mary

Kath's Rocker:  I love Mary's pine cones and greenery on her lovely Christmas card. Her card used a great sketch.

#39  Gerrina

brightly coloured and just pop off the card!

#40  Milla

Heidi's Rocker:  Milla has used those Penny Black images beautifully. Her colouring really brings them to life. Adding the raised and sparkly "Merry" is the perfect final touch.
