Reflections with Winking Owl

Hi everyone, 

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know! 

Before we get to the card I'm sharing with you today, please permit me a moment of reflection... last week's closure of The Rainbow Card Challenge marks the end of a years long chapter for me.  Having joined the 613 Avenue Create DT in February 2015, I've continually been on various teams since then, most of them involving the creator of TRCC, Mynn Kitchen... House of Cards, MHK Designs and The Rainbow Card Challenge. 

Each and every one of the teams, including Chanah and the 613 team who took the plunge on someone with no DT experience, has been a joy to work with... and it has been an absolute honor to lead the TRCC team for Mynn for the last couple years.  Sue T, Nandini, Katy, Izzy, Sue N and Elena... thank you... you really are the BEST!  

Will there be other teams in future or a newly created challenge?  Maybe.  As they say, never say never.  But the time is right for me to take a break.  Sure, the absence of a post on January 1st will take some getting used to, but I am NOT going away.  Indeed, you'll see more of me in 2022 as I'll return to regular Wednesday posts.

While this is my last post of 2021, for those of you who follow TRCC, the last Winner's post for the challenge will be live on Christmas Eve... and it will also begin with something special for the current team and indeed prior members.  

Now, to today's card featuring Linda's November NDC club plate, which I demoed in my Facebook group last Saturday...

Card: Unbranded and Clarity's Shenandoah designer parchment
Groovi Plates: NDC club plate (everything except the frame) and Nested Scallop Squares
Tools and embellishments: Groovi and Pergamano embossing, perforating and cutting tools, Perga color pens and rhinestones from my stash

Challenges... 
AG at 613 Avenue Create
#33 at NBUS (the Club plate is NBUS)
AG at TTCRD

I'll be back on January 5th with another creation, so I hope you'll join me then... but in the meantime, I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
