August Theme Winner

EK here, and I am so sorry that the winners are being posted late.  My oldest thought breaking his nose would be a fun thing to do this week, and needless to say that has meant lots of extra doctor appointment right before school began!  But without further ado, your winners...

Thank you for all your creative entries to our August Theme challenge.

The design team have chosen:

This flip flops and Christmas Papers were perfect for our theme.

Hello Christmas Card Fans!

Before we get to the designs of our fabulous Design Team, we want to take a moment and say and huge THANK YOU and sad Goodbye to two of our amazing Design Team members.  Both Deborah Frings and Patricia Hays have been at the forefront of Christmas Card Throwdown since 2013, and they will be sorely missed by the Design Team and the CCT community.  Thank you Ladies for all your years of Christmas Card beauty!

Now for this week's challenge!  We are back with our second challenge of August, the dreaded technique challenge.  For this month we are having an "Embossed Impressions" challenge and are looking for cards that have either heat or dry embossed techniques.

August - Theme

Hello Everyone!  EK here this month to bring you our new challenge.  We figured since it warm outside right now and so hard to think of snow, we would make our next theme challenge a Tropical One.  So pull out your warm weather stamps and make this design a 'Tropical Christmas'.
