MTTCC #42 Top 3 Picks Announcement for Nontraditional Christmas Colors Theme

 Wow! MTTCC had 22 entries for Theme #42 Nontraditional Christmas colors!

Our submissions numbers declined during April through June and have slowly been climbing upward. So thanks to all who have been taking time to craft Christmas with us!



Top 3 Picks were selected by me, DT member Becca, as my turn in the rotation. 

In no particular significance, I picked 3 that appealed with their unusual choices: pink with copper, purple/lavender, and bold yellows.

 #18= Diny


#9= Diane A.


and #1= Vikki


Congrats, ladies! Your Christmas cards are stunning, unexpected, and marvelously creative!

The other submissions were outstanding and the decision-making process was a tough one. Thanks for making it difficult!!! :)

The theme was Winter Holiday Decorations. The post gave examples of previous challenges with decoration topics with the suggestion to repeat one of those or some of the new suggestions like light strings, garland, porch signs, ornaments, etc. We had several submissions of winter scenes but they were missing the decorations portion (candles, wreaths, lights, stockings, and so on). 


DT member Helen has picked these 3 for recognition:

top 3 choices from the last challenge are:

#1 - Deanne



#10 - Meg



#15 - Debbie Smith



Congrats, gals!! Excellent theme interpretations! 



Thanks to our participants! We do appreciate the recognition received from your postings and comments. Theme #41 was released earlier today (Holly Leaves and Berries) so please be sure to submit your Christmas Holly Leaves/berries cards to MTTCC by 12am September 1, 2022.
