JOYS OF THE SEASON....RbbnFrm CHALLENGE

Hi everyone, it's Enfys here this week, flying the flag for the UK - we are a cosmopolitan bunch here on the design team, Europe, Canada, and from sea to shining sea in the USA, all bound together with our common love of crafting and our Cricuts.
Thanks to everyone who joined in with the From My Kitchen challenge last week, I think we all enjoyed using that fabulous phone cut.

This week it was my turn to set the challenge, I chose the ribbon frame from the Joys of the Season cartridge, page 67, and as usual the team have come up with a fabulous variety of ways to use the cuts. Do join in if you have the cartridge = we love coming to visit and seeing all your creations......................

Before I show you the awesome projects, I would like to announce that we have a new BUG DESIGNER joining the team:
JERI THOMAS
Jeri is one talented, amazing lady...
