Winner of Our Last Challenge & Farewell

We would like to thank everyone who played in our last challenge - you all really made our very last challenge extra special with all of your entries.  The winner of the challenge is Virginia Montagna who entered so many times and each card was cuter than the last!   Virginia has been such a devoted player in our challenges, and we think it fitting that she be the final winner.  Since Squigglefly is now closed Virginia will be receiving three surprise images instead of the usual one of the winner's choice.

Squigglefly closed their doors Sarurday night, and we'd like to let you know that a couple of your favorite artists have already found new homes for their artwork.  Please look for images from Sandra Caldwell and Lynne Stansbery at Sweetpea Rubber Stamps soon!  Thank you for your patronage over the years!

Kecia Waters  created this fun card using a new image from artist Cheryl Alger.  I just love this polka dot card and the lovely sentiment added.  This fun stamp is Sally's Letter.  The actual image also includes a cute little bird, so click the link to see the entire image.

  

Elizabeth Hart made this adorable Valentine.  It's using a wonderful stamp from artist Sandra Caldwell called Bearly Lovely. Don't you love the gorgeous color combo.  Beautiful work Elizabeth.  She has both hearts in her image, heart embellishments as well as the word Love on her card!

 

Jen Leeflang created this adorable Valentine's Day card using a lovely image from artist Sandra Caldwell called Love My Puppy.  Don't you love the way she added dots around the image?  it really makes her dog stand out,  Gorgeous coloring!

 

Shell Becker created this gorgeous valentine with a beautiful image from artist Sandra Caldwell.  This lovely image is called Bearly Please me Mine.  Not only does her image have a heart in it, she also added beautiful heart embellishments and heart paper.  Gorgeous work Shell.

 

Shirley Quary made this beautiful heart theme card with a gorgeous image from artist Lynne Stansbery.  This wonderful image is called Pinky Swear.  Do you remember the last time you made a pinky promise to someone?  It comes with the sentiment shown plus two other sentiments!

This is my Last Challenge as the new Team Leader of Carolyn's Crafters - that had to be the FASTEST term as a DT leader in the history of the Earth! Too Funny~as I'm sure you have all read that owners Holly & Ashley will be closing Squigglefly's doors at the end of this month.
We have adored seeing all of your creations and getting new ideas for our own
creations AND making lots of Friends.
We hope that you have all become Followers of our DT blogs so we can continue 

to see you along the challenge highway!

You can always think of January and Snow in the same breath!  This time last year, we were fighting snow every day~this year's not been too bad but there's still more days in Winter. 

 Have I said that I hate Winter?

We'd love for you to use a Squigglefly image, to be prize eligible it's required, but everyone is welcome to play along.

Wonderful clean card with SUPER Snow flakes!

Rhonda Zimkley 

Using I Got Your Nose by Cheryl Alger -
I sure love Cheryl's Images-they're so playful!


Lynn Hayes 


using New Year's Lamp Shade by Sandra Caldwell
I just LOVE the delicate SNOWflake and the way
the card layout is offset!

Debbie Ebat

using Live long and prosper by Lynne Stansberry,
and winter sentiment No Winter No Spring~ what a great combination
Debbie has come up with and so appropriate as all
of us on the DT, and YOU our friends,
go forward without Squigglefly.

 Kathy Bradley

Using  Used Catching Snow by Cheryl Alger Grant~
Gorgeous colors, I always think of shades of
blues & greens with snow themes!

Tammy Hair 

has chosen to use Hipster Winter - Sal Scheibe-
Great image-love the papers, snow flakes!

And my entry Carolyn Cochran

using That's Hot Max  and Cup of Warmth Friendship by Cheryl Alger!

It's only appropriate that I end my DT terms with 
one of my Favorite Artists. SF has enabled me to work with
so many of Cheryl's images and for that, I will be forever grateful
