In No Particular Order.....
 
#11 Paper Whims - Love it, not your ordinary Easter Card, Creepy & bright at the same time.
 
#7 Jackie - The glittery highlights in her hair and pearl embellishments lift this monochrome design without losing the 'dark' theme.
 
#4 Elephangaroo - Wonderful design and colors. I interpret all the loops and lines as the roads and obstacles that your lovely chicken has to deal with. Fab take on the challenge.
 
#9 Crafty Vicky's journal pages captures this topic perfectly. The colouring is exquisite & the use of playing cards inspired.
 
Dragonflies Swarming Me!
#10 Craftisan Studios - Dragonflies Swarming Me. This is a beautiful mixed media piece. I love the use of the dragonfly images, and the zentangle elements. I also really love the idea of "making art for me!"
 
   
Congratulations...... The Top Pick items are gorgeous, as we wish we could make them all winners......

Good Morning folks! I am so glad you've joined us today for a brand new LOC Challenge! The theme this week is 'Mermaids/Water', so think mermaids, fishes, the ocean, rivers and beautiful things like that and show us what you come up with. We have a brand new sponsor this week too - Spellbinding Stamps by Nikki Burnette are available on her Etsy store page and you can also join her on Facebook and her website.
Here are the projects the team have been working on this week - lots of mermaids! And remember you can always share your LOC projects even if there's not a drop of water in sight!

That Meljen's frog really caught our eye - it's coloured beautifully with Promarkers. We liked the composition too and those wiggly bits.
 
Fabulous use of dies for the fancy opening of the card, lovely image coloured beautifully, a gorgeous card.

Congratulations...... The Top Pick items are gorgeous, as we wish we could make them all winners......

The image is fab, background paper is perfect for the atmosphere in the card, and those bats awesomly creepy and most of all - I love the sentiment with the image
 
I like the unusual shaped card. The co-ordinating colours sticking to the theme and who can resist green beer

"Blossom" Such great colors and Spring with a twist. Perfect sparkly touch

I just love how everything is coordinated, the color combo, the little capsule added and the sentiment went so well with the image.Very well done.

Love the coloring, sentiment is a real hoot, black fringe on outer edge is unique.Just really caught my eye.

I love the use of washi tape for the background and the blingy earrings, such a fun ATC x

The colouring of the image is superb & the chosen embellishments, are in keeping with the theme of the piece, add interest & dimension, & despite being brightly coloured do not take away from the digistamp as the main focus.

Love all the framed layers and the sequins and beads for this shaker confetti card are perfect! So fun it makes me smile

Love the use of the embellishments especially the die cut as a hat,the background of spiders was fab too the spiders are amazing the image is awesome too.

Beautiful craftsmanship and coloring and fantastic use of diecuts to add dimension
