Winner of the February eTeam Picks Altered Bag Challenge

Woohoo! It's time to announce the winner of our February eTeam Picks challenge , hosted by our own talented and creative Toni. Toni chose the theme "Do Something With a Bag" and we had a wonderful range of interpretations...everything from paper or canvas bags to a ruched evening bag. So fun and so many wonderful ideas. Thanks to all who participated. We had quite a discussion when trying to chose just one winner.

Our winner of the February eTeam Picks  (Altered Bag) challenge is

Hedy H.

whose project (above) details can be read about here.

Congratulations, Hedy. Your lovely underwater scene on this bag with its combination of stamping, beautiful embroidery, and sweet charms captivated us. There is so much detail on this amazing creation.

November eTeam Picks Challenge Winner

Recycling...who doesn't feel good about doing that and when you can combine it with the pleasure of creating something beautiful, it's a Win-Win. Thank you to all of the wonderful participants in our eTeam Picks Challenge for November. It was so fun to visit your blogs and see how creative you got with your recycling. We all came away inspired and eager to try new ideas. That's what our challenges are all about so mission accomplished ...lol.

Our winner for the Recycling challenge is:

Julie Short

Congratulations, Julie! We loved the recycled pen box. The joint compound is a fabulous idea and created amazing texture. Your Punk Bird is stunning and the addition of embossed leather scraps and beads added lovely detail. Whoever receives this gift is lucky, indeed.
