Thanks to the people who took the time to join along our Path during the month of November for Challenge #85. Out of the 17 entries linked up, check out the ones that really caught our attention...

Hazel--chosen by Katrina and Pippa…

 

 Katrina said this:

"My DT Delight is Hazel (#02). This card is such a beauty with the lovely fall roses and the gorgeous design! Love the splatters and the sentiment is so meaningful right now!"

 

Pippa had this to say:

"My DT Delight is also Hazel (#02). This was the one I was drawn to the most just on first look. I love the subtle colours in the flowers with the bright metallic of the embossed greeting. A beautiful card."

Kathy--chosen by Carole…

 

Carole had this to say:

"My DT Delight is Kathy (#16). Kathy made a delightful 3D turkey napkin holder. I love that this is both quirky and practical, but also that Kathy shared this with 80 students in an after-school programme. I can imagine the joy that this brought to their family tables at Thanksgiving. "
