SUO Challenge #80, Welcome Baby – Our Top 3!

     As many of you know, I've been traveling for most of the month of October.  While members of the SUO Challenge Design Team have kept the challenges going during my absence, we decided to leave the work of compiling and publishing the Top 3 for the last two challenges until I returned home.  Shhhhh!  Don't let the rest of the Design Team members know that I have so much fun compiling and publishing the Top 3 Posts that I selfishly kept this for myself!

     The team's votes didn't disappoint me either!  As always, I am amazed at how many of you received votes for the Top 3 honors.  We truly do have a talented group of people participating in our challenges!  But, oh – that's not my favorite part of this particular group of Top 3 designers!  Two of the three are from the UK, and the third is from New Zealand!  I'm so excited to have these three Stampin' Up! Demonstrators join in our challenge AND win Top 3 honors!  Of course I delight in all our entrants and their projects, but having all the Top 3 from outside North America is definitely a thrill for us.  To read more about their projects, just click on the pictures.

 

Nicky Dexter, from Colchester, UK.  What a delightful use of colors for this Welcome Baby card!  Those tiny handprints are so nicely framed with the Coastal Cabana die-cut shape.  But our favorite part of this card was the use of the images from the Baby Tees Jumbo Wheel as a perfect embellishment!

 

 

 

 

Margaret King from Northamptonshire, UK.  We especially liked that the front of this card was personalized with the baby's name!  What fun is that!  But our favorite parts of the project are those beautifully shaded and highlighted balloons.  They look so real they could be popped with a pin!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Karren Johnson from Christchurch, New Zealand.  What a great Clean and Simple (CAS) card this is.  Our favorite part of this card is the embossed and sanded cardstock that looks just like real fabric ribbon!
