Midway Reminder and Winners from Challenge 19

If you are looking for our Current Challenge #20 'Holidays' click here!

I would like to say a big Hello to all of you reading this. I'm Maureen Scott, also known as Mo, and I have been a DT member here for a few months now. Unfortunately, our fabulous Lorraine is having to step down as Challenge Co-ordinator to deal with family commitments and she has handed the reigns over to me. I would just like to wish Lorraine all the best for the future from all of us here at Left Of Centre. We will hopefully still be seeing Lorraine's work here from time to time as and when she can and you can see her inspiration piece for our current challenge further down the page.

Firstly though, our Challenge #19 'No People', attracted a great number of entries and it has been so difficult to choose the winners but we narrowed it down and here goes -


What a beautiful Christmas ornament, different and elegant. Please contact myself at maureenjscott@googlemail.com for details on how to claim your prize Kristen!

And our Top 5

 64. Donna Mundinger 
48. Glenda Atkins  
7. Laura Love  
55. Jackie C  

Well done everyone who entered! The standard is fabulous and really gives us a hard time trying to pick winners! Keep it up!

Well, our current challenge is sponsored by Dilly Beans and we have a couple of further inspiration projects to show you here, have a look and come join our 'Holiday' challenge or, if you prefer, show us your best Left of Centre creations!

Hello everyone!  Keren here - it's my turn to host the fortnightly challenge.  Thank you everyone who shared their projects with us and once again it's going to be tough to choose our favourites.  Thanks, too, to Lorraine who has been doing a super job of keeping the DT in order and keeping the challenges going.

Without further ado, let's reveal the next challenge theme, which is -

HALLOWEEN OR CREEPY 
(Flash of lightning, crash of thunder, evil laugh - bwah-hah-hah! etc)

Our sponsor this time is the excellent Rick St Denis.

As usual the DT have had a lot of fun with the theme.

So we've shown you ours - will you show us yours?  Don't like the theme?  No problem, at LOC you can always join in even if your project doesn't fit the theme as long as it's "Left of Centre" - dark, gothic, steampunk, creepy, punk, anime, horror and so on.  Can't wait to see what you come up with!
