JANUARY CUTplorations CHALLENGE

Many thanks to all who played with us in our January CUTplorations challenge.

Winner of a $10 gift certificate to the store:
#13 ionabunny - claimed

The DT loved Gail's use of gold and black on such a creative and artsy card - just in time for the Oscars too!

Winners of $5 gift certificate to the store:


#7 Dee Earnshaw - claimed

Dee's card has so many delightful elements - those hearts-turned-shamrock, the gold splats and that B/W strip ties in so nicely with the gold stripes on the shamrock.

#2 Daria W.

Daria's card totally captures the celebratory feel of the inspiration photo. What a great way to use Party Girl for a special birthday card.

Here's your winner's badge, ladies. Display it proudly!
