    October 16, 2012

    Everyone did great work, but my favorites were the Haunted House and Halloween Album.  The Haunted House because that's something I'd love to display in my house and the Halloween Album because I got a chuckle out of the riddles.


  77. Verna A. Reply
    October 16, 2012

    What talented ladies. I am partial to Susan Brown's Lantern though.


  78. October 16, 2012

     Fabulous prjects. I love all. They are all so different and neat! I think my favorite is Erica Batchelder's – Floral Cuff. It's just so elegant.
    But I also love   Julie Nagle'sTopiary, Nikki Carpenter's – Mini Keepsake Box, and Tracey Sabella'sMixed Media Layout   pr  .. p


  79. October 16, 2012

    Well this is really hard, everyone put their best creative foot forward!  After looking and looking I think my choice is Nikki Carpenter's mini keepsake box.  Sometimes less is more and the simplicity of her design with just the one flower on the box just captures my heart. 
    I have to say though it was a hard toss up between Nikki's and Karen Hanson's Thanksgiving wreath (what a fabulous idea!) and Susan Brown's latern (that is absolutely gorgeous).  They all are very talented bunch of crafters!


  80. October 16, 2012

    All the projects are so lovely – I really like Tracey's Mixed Media Layout – so pretty!


  81. October 16, 2012

    I love all the details of Tracey Sabella Mixed Media!!!!  What a gorgeous layout!  Love all the flowers and how they are so different.  The ribbon on the edges with the sewing and the white frame around the bridal couple make them stand out!!!
     


  82. October 16, 2012

    Fabulous work everyone!!! I love that cuff and the THanksgiving interactive wreath is stunning, but really you all have done wonderfully on this challenge!

  85. Kathy P Reply

    So many cool creations here, and hard to pick one fave, but for me, has to be Dorris Widder's Halloween album.  I can just see kids having a lot of fun with that every year, and in the days in between.  Kids love riddles!

    Such beautiful projects! My favorite is Tracey's mixed media layout. The flowers are simply beautiful, and I love all the details! Her choice of colors works well, too. It can sometimes be challenging to choose colors and designs that enhance a black and white photo instead of simply overpowering it… the colors Tracey chose for her layout work wonderfully as an accent without detracting from the striking look of the photo. Plus, the little frame accentuates the bride and groom perfectly. Love it! :)
