Here are the designers' favourites for TEW Challenge #21 

(Christmas)

#45 Chris

Jackie - I adore the image and Chris has made it come alive with her colour palette. It's vibrant yet understated at the same time. Wonderfully coloured also.

# 8 K8 

Vicky -  I really love the fun shape for this card.  The image has to be one of my favorite TEW images it's so soft and I think the coloring is awesome.  I also adore the embellishments that were used with it.

#19 - Myndi Fraser

Susan -  I love the colors Myndi used! Her coloring is fantastic! Love the sparkly snowflakes and the flowers too! Just a gorgeous creation!

#32 Vannessa

Unky -  I just love that blue hair tree colouring! Green and blue never looked more charming together! Awesome make! xx

#15 Heather M 

Bettina says: Love the use of the embossing folder and that cat looks so cute too xx

#19 KT Fit Kitty

Donna says:  My eye was drawn immediately to the gorgeous turquoise sparkly dot back ground of #19 KT Fit Kitty's card.  Love that the ornament is hanging from the pine branch and the lovely coloring and texture on LaLa's hat.  Adorable!

# 6 Chrissy

Bonnie says: The circular shape of this card suits the image so well and I love the snowflake and gem border. The red pops both in the image and the details and those eyes are adorable.

#14 PaperWhims

Maureen says:  Love the Meowy Christmas Cat, the papers and simple embellies are very cute and make a great quick card. Love it!
