Thanks sooo much to all of you for sharing your AMAZING cards and projects with us for our digi team's Why So Blue? = NO BLUES ALLOWED! challenge.  Whew!  After seeing all of your absolutely stunning entries, it seems to me that you all deserve a top pick for the most creative and inspiring blue-less creations EVER!  I did my best to narrow it down but please don't be discouraged if your entry isn't shown here.  I loved them ALL!

Congratulations Karen C!  Please contact Rose (details in the sidebar) to arrange for delivery of your fabulous prize of three Crafts and Me Digis.

As shown in the following TOP 3 entries, colors other than blue can make an incredible WOW impact when used on our wintertime projects.

15 - KalySto used shades of purple to decorate her beautiful round Christmas box.  I think that her cameo-shaped image, lace and paper roses make this a stunning handmade heirloom piece.


 
81 - Birgit worked some magic with vintage papers and red and white roses to repurpose an unsightly bag into an amazing work of art that also holds gifts.



101 - Eileen's use of pink with white and black adds a wonderfully delicate touch to this fabulous Christmas card.

HONORABLE MENTIONS
(I just HAVE to include these beauties!!!)

114 - Sue W's addition of gorgeous lace and pearls with her ornate corner element turns this simple owl image into a delicate and beautiful card for sharing Christmas wishes.



158 - Fiona L created this stunning snow scene without a stitch of blue!  Isn't it great to see this loving snow couple sharing their happy Christmas wishes on this warm card?!?!?!
