For each challenge, we normally select a LEAD who is invited to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge, and some Show Stoppers are other projects that have caught the design team's eye....BUT we are doing something a little different this go-round (it will all make sense in a bit, I promise).

So for this challenge we are Featuring all the participants!
We are so grateful to all of you, that have linked up over the years.



The Show Stoppers of the A Good Read challenge are...

"such a sweet way to say thank-you. I love the stacked books on the shelf and the pretty pink colors she used."
"Wow! Beautiful coloring of this sweet image. The background papers are fun and festive. love it!"

Ma-Mi
" Love the tag created for this handmade box. The touch of sparkle is just lovely."

ElizStewart
" what a sweet bunch of woodland critters. I just love the scene you created."
