Lowri - Favourite Products and Projects -and New Contest
Hi Everyone - Lowri here. Thanks to everyone who commented on the blog and facebook page over the last couple of days. The winner of the 2 packets of Sparklets is..... Sandra Reade! Congratulations Sandra - please email lowri.mcnabb@artfullcrafts.co.nz and let her know which 2 colours you would like! Check them all out here. All the details of the next contest at the end of this post!
Over the next few days we will be saying farewell to our Design Team and asking them to highlight their favorite products and projects from the year. I will be continuing on my Marketing role at Artfull Crafts - so you will still be hearing lots from me.
Lowri's Favorite Products
My favourite collections this year have been from Cosmo Cricket and Kaisercraft. I am a long-time fan of both these manufacturers and the Social Club and Nan's Favourites have been real stand-outs for me. Here are some examples I made with them.

Lowri's Favourite Projects
This is a tough one! These three are certainly amongst my favourites though!
I enjoyed these projects as they were either lots of fun, very personal - or a combination of both! Stay tuned to see what the rest of Design Team have really enjoyed throughout the year!

To enter the next Competition you need to leave a comment on Facebook or the blog before Sunday 12:00 noon. Tell us YOUR favourite product or collection of the last 12 months!
