Now to the True Beauties of October! We had a LOT of beautiful entries and actually, we could have picked each and every one as our True Beauties! Honestly! But, in the end, we picked 2!
First, we absolutely loved Carol’s box and card set – it just goes to show how the right paper, punches and embellishments can add up to one gorgeous presentation! Congrats Carol!
We also loved the simplicity of Iwona’s gift set — black and white never looked so good and it shows how, sometimes simplicity is the most beautiful way to present a card!
So, thanks ladies for playing! If you want to email me for your True Beauty Blog button, just shoot me an email at juliekoerber@bresnan.net!
We can’t wait to see what you all come up with for our next challenge! Be sure to stop by and see all the BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS thanks to our Bring Back Beautiful Team!!
And, before we go… one LAST announcement!
Did you play in our World Cardmaking Day Challenge?? You had to make a non-standard card, and if you used the color pink and ribbon, you earned a few extra entries! So, we mixed the names up in a hat and the winner is….
Susan Goetter!!!
And here’s a peek at her beautiful card using Flourishes Cherry Blossoms set!
Susan, shoot me an email at juliekoerber@bresnan.net with your snail mail addy and we’ll make sure you get your goody bag with the Think Pink set sent your way!
