 Top 3 Winners


#2 Darlene Pavlick
What I like most about this card is the thought process behind it and the wonderful design that transpired is just WOW! The design, layout, and feel of this card goes great with our photo inspiration.





# 1 ATC & Wenskaarten
What I like most about this card is the fact it is not Halloween related.
Just a beautiful sombre card say 'I miss you'. Wonderfully done!



# 6 Sian

-I love her moon and the hand painted tree are just... well...Wow!! Goes great with our photo inspiration!! And look at the embossed background!! Perfect touch!

Sian


Hello everyone. I should probably introduce myself. My name's Sian Cheetham. I'm 42 and I have two boys. 
I work full time and spend lots of my free time crafting. I've been making cards (and dabbling in various
 other crafts) for about 12 years now, I was forced to take a long break whilst studying for a degree.
 It paid off though, as I graduated with first class honours at the end of July. Since finishing,
 I've returned to making cards and am making up for lost time! 
I am also in the process of resurrecting my abandoned blog. I'm really looking forward to joining
 the design team and getting to know everyone.
************************

The winners for our new challenge will be announced
in two weeks time,  on November 7th  We hope to see you then.
N.B. Paper Playful no longer announce winners.

Now it is time to introduce our new challenge,

welcome you to our newly designed two weekly challenge blog.

Our thanks to those who entered into our challenge on
September 26th - Challenge # 31 - No Patterned Paper
Chosen by Fliss  We had some fabulous entries, which made it
impossible to choose 3 winners as we normally do, so for this
result, once again, we have 4 Top Winners. 

Here are the Top 4 picks chosen by Fliss

 Top 4 Winners
In numerical order.

# 54 Paper Arts - Lynda Pleckan
I loved the simplicity of design and the masking to give the
lovely coloured panels the leaves are stamped on.


#92 Lou Sims
Amazing stamping, love the off the edge elements of the card.


# 96 Kajcyika
Very effective use of Kraft card and I love the snowy splatters.


#116 Claire C
Stunning use of inks and the most amazing texture and colour.

A very sad farewell to Fliss
Please join us to bid a sad farewell to Fliss, who has been spinning
so many creative and personal plates of late, the time has come for her
to sadly step down from the Design Team.
Fliss has been with Make My Monday since it's beginning in 2011.
We have all greatly enjoyed her amazing creative skills over the years.
We send her every good wish, we will continue to see her skills in
 blogland. Fliss the door has not closed, it stays open for your return.
We will miss you and say, thank you for so much. Good luck.

Now it is time to introduce our new challenge,
Fliss will be choosing the winners.
