Nicky's Picks - Week 51: Shopping

Even at the most hectic time of year I am thrilled to see so many fabulous renditions for the theme 'Shopping'! I love the variety, the emotion, the complexity and the simplicity!

Thank you for brightening up one of the busiest week's of the year!!

Here are some of the images that resonated with me.

Cara's Picks - Week 50: Window

It’s been another magical week of peeking into windows. I’ve enjoyed gazing through the glass, (or computer screen) at your creative pieces. Each post to the wall has let in some light, given us landscapes, lives and perspective, and most of all, an insight into your world. Thank you for taking us on this journey.

With the announcement of the closure of the 52 week Challenge, after 4 successful years running, it has also been an emotional week. Your contributions have been an integral part of this creative journey, and we would like to thank you for that. It is sad to see this challenge close.

This week I’ve chosen some images which resonated with me, and have enjoyed looking into your windows and seeing what lies within. Keep up the good work!

Christmas card challenge finale

I would like to extend a very warm and festive THANK YOU to everyone who participated in our Christmas card bonus challenge. It has now come to an end, but it will be back next year, in one form or another, so you'll have another chance to express your Christmassy selves then!

I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing all your beautiful card designs on the wall, and I am so impressed that some of you went on to share a styled photo of your printed cards. They look wonderful!

I have done my best to include all the Christmas card designs and styled photos in this post, as it is a lovely record of this bonus challenge, but it is pretty hard to keep track of them all, so I apologise if I have missed a few. I'm happy to add any that are missing — just let me know.

Have a superb silly season and a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Love
