We have a special Guest Designer for this challenge, and her name is Laine--she was our Challenge #48 Favorite project winner. Her bio follows along with her delightful Snow creation for this challenge:

Laine:

"Hello to everyone, I have turned into a compulsive card-maker over the last few years. I love all aspects of paper crafts and my passions are paper construction projects and coloring stamps using my Spectrum Noir Pens.I have been very fortunate to have been a Design Team Member for some fabulous Challenge Blogs and have had several Guest Designer spots for various companies. I recently was so honored to be asked to join the Design Team for Crafter's Companion UK and also for Spectrum Noir Pens. I am thrilled to be featured in a GDT spot for Simply Create Too. Thank you so much ladies for this wonderful opportunity."

We all here "Give Thanks" for each of you visiting and creating for our challenges!

CHALLENGE #50 - "GIVE THANKS"

Challenge #50 begins now,8 November 2013 and will end at midnight [U.S. CDT], Thursday, November 21st. Please let us see your 'Give Thanks' projects. Remember, you can enter 3 times!

For this challenge, we have a Guest Designer who is Diane's talented blog friend:


"Hello! My name is Suze and I live in New Zealand. I have been card-making off and on for a number of years since a friend introduced me to rubber stamps although I now work mostly with digi stamps. My style is mainly CAS but I'm trying to learn new techniques. I first started blogging my cards in February 2012 so that I could enter some challenges. I initially started with mainly Christmas challenges to take the pressure off at the end of the year but have since found several others that have appealed to me. Since I live on the other side of the world, so many of the challenges are the opposite season to ours which certainly makes things interesting!"

This is Suze's creation for Challenge #50:


Thank You, Suze, for your beautiful card, and for joining us as our Guest Designer for this challenge!
