Kay says: Clean, simple but so effective and eye-catching. Great design and colouring!












Leigh says: I absolutely love how stunning Lucy Loo Snow Queen looks nestled amongst all those yummy wobbly snowflakes. She's beautiful & so regal. Wonderful box card!

You can either create a project where something actually moves, shakes, slides, wobbles, jiggles OR you can use an image where there is movement within it (like dandelions blowing in the wind) OR you can create movement in the background in an artsy way. 


Here are our Challenge rules ~
  • Enter only new creations – no backlinking
  • If using The East Wind images ~ unlimited entries
  • If using The East Wind images ~ enter with link to blog post and 2nd time with link to blog
