Congratulations to Lay Hoon, our friend from Malaysia. She is the Top Hat Pick for Crusade No. 29! Lay Hoon has played along in twelve crusades so I am thrilled her name was drawn from my trusty hat by my daughter. She is an enthusiastic player and often posts more than once for each challenge. This winner also reminds us that our community is global - we even made some new friends from Brazil this month. Welcome to all new players!!
Bravo to all of you who came to play, and courageously shared your work so that we might all learn from your experiments with Brush Effects. I could see lots of light-bulbs going off, and it was fun to see how you are using many of the tools and tricks we have discussed here. I'm sure you've figured it out by now, I have been trying to break down my personal creative process into simple and separate steps for you to try. Tomorrow I will offer another challenge that is one of those processes, so come back and check it out. In the meantime pop over and congratulate Lay Hoon.
One more thing - it's been very heartwarming to see so many crusaders join in my fundraiser for fellow crusader Paula (her other blog is HERE. Thank you.







Whoa !!! What a wonderful day for me !
Thank you so much !
I'm so proud to be part of team.
