Purple and Silver Christmas Winner

Hello Everyone
Apologies for the late post of our winner To our 'Purple and Silver' Challenge.
 

 Firstly, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are starting to recover from the over indulgence.  And I hope you are having time to get back into some crafting.
Thanks to all those who played along with our Purple and Silver Christmas challenge, lots of gorgeous work for me to choose a winner from, and here it is, our winner for this week is Trace from Inky Pinky Craft.

I loved that Trace used primarily purples and silver for her tag, the wire and star are a fantastic touch and the beautiful purple frosted

flower a gorgeous finishing touch.
Congratulations Trace, here is  your winners badge for your blog.

 Sue here.....
Just a reminder to you all, Top Talent will resume on January 3rd, so check in and see who is spotlighted, and our first Challenge at OCC for 2013 is January 5th, and I can let you know it will be hosted by Sharon Wheet, so you may have a little inkling what her theme will be.
Looking forward to catching up with you then.
In the mean time have a Happy New Year.
Smiles:)
Sue

Winner - One stitch at a time!

Hi there.  First of all I want to thank everyone for participating in last week's challenge. Your creations have been amazing. I really had a hard job deciding which card to pick as a winner, but this card is a great interpretation of the challenge.

Congratulations to Anita Houston at The Artful Maven Haven! I love what she has done with her project. She not only created a gorgeous background but also combined all the elements in a very exquisite way. Please Anita feel free to pick up the Top Talent's winner badge and display it proudly on your blog.

It's not too late to play along with challenge "It's a Purple and Silver Christmas". Please make sure you link back to us when you post your submission. Don't forget to come back and check out our Top Talent Thursday tomorrow! We shall return with a new challenge on Saturday, and tons of inspiration for you.

It's a Purple and Silver Christmas!

Hi everyone, Chris here. Firstly, thank you all for playing along with our recent challenges, and well done to all of our Top Talent winners.

This week is my turn to set a challenge for you. My favourite colour of all is purple, and at Christmas, while I like traditional colours, I also love purple married up with silver. So this week I am challenging you to use purple and silver for your project. You can use other colours too, just as long as purple and silver are the focus colours. Since this is our last challenge before we take a break for Christmas, let's also make it a Christmas project. Here is what the Design Team have come up with for your inspiration:

Lisa - You Made Me Ink!

Christina Barnes - Dot Dot Stamping Designs

Paula McClane - Scrap Addict's Attic

Susan-scrumplescrunch

Meihsia Liu - Simply Paper Crafts

Liliana Inguanti- Stampin from Home

Linda Coughlin - The Funkie Junkie

Marcy Kaminski - En Papillote Arts

Irena Kowalczyk/Rudlis - love, life and crafts

No surprise then that she won the “Make your Own Background ‘ Challenge.
Please welcome and congratulate our Guest and ‘Top Talent’ for this Thursday 13th December 2012.
And the last for this year!

2.) Describe yourself in five words.
 Creative (cards and paintings), liked to travel,

This is the last Top Talent Post for 2012......we will reconvene January 3rd 2013.

"Thank you each and everyone for your continued support throughout 2012, we value and acknowledge your patronage very much.
We hope you have a Christmas that is all you hope it will be, and however you celebrate, may it be a happy and joyful one, with special moments to cherish.
This is a time of giving, and to share the blessings that we have to others, so that they too can feel the spirit of Christmas."
Merry Christmas to you all!
From the team at Our Creative Corner.

My personal wish for the New Year is to retain a positive attitude, with the expectation that my creative mind will be complacent to my needs and not falter too often;
It maybe a big ask!

Smiles:)
Sue.
