Congratulations Ladies!!
Please take your Winners badge from above
and email Tracy at tracy(dot)rich(at)xtra(dot)co(dot)nz
to claim your prize.

A big thank you to our lovely Kelly
who had the difficult task of choosing our Top 5 this week.

We get so excited every fortnight to
see all the gorgeous creativity that comes in
You're ALL awesome
But I'm sure you'll agree
The Top 5 deserve a high 5!

(In no particular order)

Ladies, Please, Come On Down

To The Winner's Circle

Lorraine's Christmas tags

Oh my goodness - those sweet faces!! I really love the colours Lorraine has used for a bright and breezy take on Christmas - and those dogs just made me love the tags even more!!

Carol G - Saxophone player

I have to confess - I really love how clever these "magic" slider cards are.

I've never managed to pull one off myself, so they really do feel like magic!!

Claudia's Z-fold card

Claudia's very pretty colour scheme is something that caught my eye right from the start. I really liked the z-fold use here, and that cake is so pretty - shall I tell you when my birthday is so you can send a cake like this?? *grin*

Rocky's Christmas tags

I really liked the monochrome feel of white on craft with these tags, and coming from NZ where there is no chance of a white Christmas, I just love the scenes on these tags.

Plony's Christmas tag

Plony's tag is full of wonderful details and layer, but it's the non-traditional colour scheme that really caught my eye and placed this firmly in my top 5 for this round.

Thanks so much for playing!

That is an outstanding line up of talent.

Congratulations to you all!!

Your creations are original, innovative,

striking, inspirational and oh so perfect for our

'Tag You're It ~ Team Lou' challenge

We honour your crafting genius.

We are always so impressed with the amazing talent out there in blogland,
which makes it very hard to choose a Top 3 from our awesome entries.
The task this challenge fell to our lovely Kelly.

Hi there! Time for me to pick my top entries for our fab "Shake your Groove thing" challenge.

Sadly, there weren't as many entries as we would have liked to have seen,

so I've limited my faves to just three this time.

Without further ado... and in no order at all!

Ladies, Please, Come On Down
To The Winner's Circle

Helen Finlay

"Otterly Happy Birthday"

Those cute otters were just so awesome. I would never ever have

thought to use hair gel to look like water... Definitely got a tip there!

(psst, Helen, don't forget to link to your actual post next time... 

I did have to search a wee bit - super glad I did)

Glennis F

You spun me right round baby, right round!!

I loved, loved LOVED your card - and so did my boys who spotted it before I did!

Fidget spinner is the ultimate in kinetic cards!

Emily Shroom

(Must be your lucky day!)

Your sweet 16 was super sweet

Loved how your balloon wiggled on an action wobbler,

and also the shaker windows, so full of movement.

I hope your niece loved the card!

Thanks so much for joining us for our Team Lou Kinetic challenge.

Hope to see you all back for our upcoming challenges!

Happy crafting!
