Top Picks Challenge #387 and Reminder Post - Challenge #358 - Shine/Shiny

   Welcome to our two part post.

**First, a reminder that you have until Friday, January 16th at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #358 - Word Prompt - SHINE/SHINY - found HERE.

**Second, the gallery of 47 cards/projects for our Designer's Choice COLD Challenge had us shivering in delight!  Thank you for embracing our prompts with such enthusiasm.  As always, narrowing down our Top Picks was a challenge…but the kind we love to have.

Our Top Picks:

Nancy's all white snowflake card - with just a hint of holographic foil on the flakes and sentiment - is a beautiful take on *cold*.  

Julie's adorable couple, enjoying a skate in the brisk outdoors, is a sweet take on *cold*.

Pauline has created a lovely wintry scene within the ornament shape, then surrounded it with a delightful selection of stamps. A beautiful *cold* vibe!

Denise's penguin is absolutely adorable; the *cold* sentiment pairs with him perfectly. 

Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.

Our Top Picks:

Linda's stenciled birds, singing Joy to the World, are incredibly sweet.

Tracy's stenciled poinsettias are lovely, especially on the soft kraft cardstock. 

Stephanie's stenciled book tags, made for her book club buddies, are absolutely delightful. A wonderful way to dress up treats.
