Second, we had 33 entries to celebrate our Furry Friends for Challenge #376. Dogs, cats, bunnies, mice, hedgehogs, even a fuzzy monster made an appearance! You truly shared your creativity in selecting an assortment of delightful animals to be the stars of the show!  As always, selecting Top Picks is a challenge - but one we're delighted to have. Thank you, again, for embracing our challenge with enthusiasm! 

Our Top Picks:

Suzanne

Suzanne brought an entire gang of adorable furry friends to the challenge - and how cute are they howling out a friendly 'hello' to the lucky person receiving this card. 

Lynda/Loopylou

Lynda's Kitty Capers card is filled with an abundance of cute. She's certainly captured a variety of kitty antics beautifully.

Deanna

Deanna's layout showcases fabulous photos of those things that make her Saturdays special - and it was especially wonderful to see Zoe, her 'real' furry friend, stealing the show! 

Loll

Loll's paper snow drift and lightly inked sky creates a delightful background for her absolutely adorable winter bunny. The scarf and gifts add to the overall charm of her card.

Top Picks Challenge #375 and Reminder Post - Challenge #376 - Word Prompt - Furry Friends

 Welcome to our two part post.

**First, a reminder that you have until Friday, Sept. 25 at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #376 -Word Prompt - Furry Friends found HERE.  If you've joined us already, thank you (and please feel free to join again); if you haven't, we'd love for you to do so. 

Second, while we only had 13 entries for Challenge #375 – Visual Prompt – Scrabble Tiles, the smaller gallery made selecting Top Picks even more challenging. Each and every card was amazing - and we thank you for joining us. We understand that sometimes a prompt may not speak to you as loudly as or appeal to you in the same fashion that others do. We hear you and will continue to strive to improve. 

Our Top Picks:

Caroline

Caroline's card is a delightful reflection of her grandson's four years spent at nursery; his 'home away from home.' Such a special card to celebrate this phase of his life's journey - and a wonderful take on 'home, love and family.'

Heather

Heather's card captures the 'games' and 'love' vibes of the mood board wonderfully.

Karen

Love and family definitely happening all over Karen's card.

Bobby

Bobby's card captures the essence of the mood board with her houses ('home') and lettered banner ('scrabble tiles'). Of course, her use of kraft is clearly a reflection of the image colours.
