Challenge #31 Top 4 or is it 5 Picks Decision

Top Picks for MTTCC #31 Announcement

We apologized for the delay. Our DT is worldwide and time differences plus a holiday weekend caused this late posting. 

With 4 crafters representing 5 entries, DT member Mags B has asked that all 4 receive the "Top 3" bragging rights honor. I agree. 

In order of submission:

#1= Sparkly Pink is Ileana A.

#2 and #5 = Nicolette

#3= Elle-jeanne

#4= Margreet

Thank you so much to these crafters finding time to craft Christmas!

We appreciate your support of MTTC!

On behalf of Mags B, myself/Becca, and the rest of the crew--

Challenge #32 started April 15th and the theme is bells. We do accept other winter holidays like Hanukkah, Kwanza, and New Year's Day. The bells would really be perfect for 'ringing in the New Year', 

 

MTTCC #32 Theme is Bells

 #32 MTTCC = Ring the Bells! Clash the Cymbals! 

Let's find some time to craft Christmas cards with a symbol for telling news and gaining people's attention! Does this theme remind you of a town crier declaring the time of day or shout out some alarming news? Are angels ringing bells in heaven? Or what about Salvation Army bell ringers or church handbell choirs playing from the balcony or the platform?  

Good Tidings of Great Joy!

Bells theme: think of sleigh bells, jingle bells, choir handbells, that make jingling or clanging sound,  etc. for your Christmas cards

starts April 15, 2022 and goes to April 28, 2022

start and end dates' times are the same= 6:00am UK or 12:00am Central Time/Chicago

DT inspiration projects show a variety of festive bells:

Granmargaret

Becca (card 1)

Becca (card 2-bell hanging from the stocking)

Becca (card 3- Santa's ringing a bell)

Participants' entries will be commented on by design team members. Selection of the Top 3 for bragging rights is a duty rotated within the design team. A separate short post will be made after the competition ends on April 28, 2022.

Congrats, gals! In their numerical order:

#1 Sidan = bear and penguin exchanging a gift in front of some trees

#2 = Trine (Trijntje) = polar bears in a mountainous winter scene

#3 = Niki 1 (Monique) = cardinals at a birdfeeder near some trees
