Announcement and Winner & Design Team Favorites CMM90

Hello, Crafty Friends!

It is with a bit of sadness that we begin this post. After many years of sharing inspiring projects and being inspired by YOU, the Card Makin' Mamas Challenge is now closed. 

We have been blessed by our wonderful Design Team Members, past and present. They have created, challenged and grown right along with the CMM Challenge and we wish them the best in their creative futures!

We have appreciated all that you have shared with us - your projects, your comment love and encouragement and could not have been a successful challenge blog without you! Thank you so much!

We have been fortunate to have had wonderful sponsors, donating images and product to our Designers over the years and offering generous prizes for our participants. Thank you for your support!

You may miss the CMM Challenge (we know we will!), but there are lots of company challenge blogs and many others that list through Paper Playful (link in sidebar). We're sure that you'll find more than a few that are just your style!

The CMM Facebook Group will be open, so feel free to continue posting and sharing your projects and craft related information there (link in sidebar)! 

The winner and Design Team Favorites for our final challenge are below.

Thank you, again, Card Makin' Mamas & Papas, see you around Blogland!

DT Penny | #51 Jan

Clever layout with a stunning image, I think the embelishments are perfect.

DT Susan | #54 Pamellia

I was absolutely enthralled by this card. Love the cream and black colour way and I must admit to never seeing a shabby chic Halloween card before.  The background which was created with texture paste is fabulous, gorgeous flowers and even the spider looks great!

DT Kim | #47 Kavitha

Love the soft feel, all the pretty flowers and the added diecuts...so pretty.

DT Angi | #17 Linda

Darling vintage photo, Linda! Love the ink distressing around the die cut frame - really adds to the vintage feel - along with the feather, flowers and ribbon.

Thanks for a fabulous challenge!

Design Team Favorites

where the Design Team chooses one of your cards and gives YOU a creative high five!

DT Penny | #6 Dena

On first glance this card looked simple enough, but when looking further you see the finer details of embossed paneling, layering and the smart use of our 3 requested metals.  The stamped image although subtle is perfect on your layout.  

DT Susan | #5 Lena S

A stunning card. The focal point is a lovely picture which has been framed so beautifully but still retaining the masculine looks with the papers and embellishments. Love the way it folds out with every page beautifully finished off. Fab attention to detail Lena.

DT Kim | #7 Niki1
Very elegant card. Love the colors and what a wonderful quote.

DT Angi | #10  Marina

Love the simple color scheme and the metal embellisments...the dog tag and the gears, paired with the ace are just perfect! Beautiful sonnet.

Thanks for a fabulous challenge!

DT Penny | #31 Yogi

I haven't seen one of these special folds in ages, and you have reminded me to try fancy folds.  I like how you included the rainbow on the edges of the card and on the sentiment.

 

DT Susan | #28 Lulu

Love your card Lulu. The butterflies are gorgeous and you have done a wonderful job of delicately colouring them. Love how you added the extra dimension they really pop off the page. 

DT Carolyn | #29 KT Fit Kitty

I love the image and the background paper. It just "pops".

DT Kim | #7 MA-MI

What a lovely card. Love the way you did the title...so vibrant!

DT Maria | #25 Hazel

Funny card! I love colours and the liquid pearls and amazing choice of image.

DT Melissa | #30 Martina

I absolutely love this card.  The bright colours you have used are fantastic!

DT Angi | #18 Marie

The rainbow-ness of this card really grabbed my attention. I usually prefer more layers, but I love the way you incorporated our challenge theme using the rainbow sentiment and the way you lined up the rainbow hearts washi tape, Marie! 

Thanks for a fabulous challenge!

Design Team Favorites

DT Penny | #9 Deonna

I love this card, the layout is brilliant and all the embellishments work without taking the focus off your lovely image and coloring.

DT Susan | #63 Julie

As soon as I saw this Julie I was blown away! Love the white on white and how you coloured the gorgeous image. All the beautiful embellishments and die cuts and the extra stamping around the image. It all works so well together.

DT Carolyn | #39 Jan R.

I love how clean this card is. The scallop, embossed background and twine set the stage for the image and sentiment. They aren't too overpowering and don't clutter up the card allowing the image to be the focus.

DT Kim | #97 Rebekah

This is gorgeous. The colors of the papers, flowers and of course coloring work perfectly together. Seriously this is in one word...fantabulous! Love it!

DT Melissa | #97 Rebekah

This card jumped out at me.  I absolutely love everything about it, the colours, embellishments and layout.  Just gorgeous.

DT Vesi | #97 Rebekah

Just perfect, like colors, shading, and image selection. I like flowers. I can not stop looking at it again and again!

DT Maria | #78 Maya

I'm in love with this card. I like the image, colours, and flowers. Fabulous card!

DT Suzanne | #104 Country Mouse

I was immediately drawn to your project, the softness, the feminity and of course the gorgeous sparkle. Well done.

DT Angi | #43 Linda

The embossing, the sparkle, the bronze mirri card really hit the challenge theme head on! The flowers and burlap add wonderful texture. This is would look great framed on the wall! Love it, Linda!

Thanks for a fabulous challenge!

DT Penny | #2 Nicole

Nicole, I loved this the moment I clicked your link.  I think the colours and image choice in your card are a perfect combination, combined with the patterned paper and you won me over.  I am yet to purchase those action wobblers but you definitely tempted me into adding them to my wishlist.

DT Lilia | #2 Nicole

Fantastic card with a very fun way to make that beautifully coloured image wobble. I love everything about it!

DT Angi | #2 Nicole

Oh. My. Sweetness! This is definitely a card to uplift and cheer someone up! The layout, the image, and choice of colors all come together so well. Not to mention you followed the guidelines and the challenge theme perfectly! You can see the heart in this card! TFS, Nicole!

DT Susan | #16 Toni

This brought a big smile to my face Toni. Love that image and I bet he looks so funny on his Action Wobble.

DT Melissa | #16 Toni

This card made me smile, I love that image.  I love the use of action wobbles.

DT Carolyn | #9 Tip Top

Great use of space! I loved the image and the scene that was created. What isn't to love about it!

DT Maria | #13 Nicole

Amazing idea! Love is in the air... Lovely card, sweetie design and yammy pink!

DT Vesi | #13 Nicole

I like the colors, it's so of sun and fresh. I like to move image

DT Suzanne | #15 Ma-Mi

Beautiful stamping and your colouring is just gorgeous. I also love all the added elements of your project.  So creative, I was immediately drawn to your creation.
