How do I choose what should be my show case

I found this fab challenge Magnolia Down under ,its a really nice blog and despite not having any Magnolia stamps yet  I like the site it's light hearted, and when I saw they had a guest Dt up for grabs I thought I'd have a go, problem is I don't know quite what to put in my little showcase.

My style is quite plain at the side of all these fantastic design team cards so I'm fairly sure I don't stand much of a chance, but then thats just being negative isn't it and I'm always telling my son he should be more positive so fingers crossed.  I tend to be a rubber stamper at heart though I get distracted and like trying new crafting techniques as I find them,so I have included my first go at quilling, and a card I made for one of my sons friends as he is mad about a console game and this lady in the pink bikini is from that.

I have also taught myself encaustic technique which is almost as gratifing as stamping as you get results really quickly, but I still have alot to learn and would only class myself as a basic beginner but its definitely fun. I like the idea of having a card you can polish to make it shine.

I enjoy cross stitch but quickly loose patience if they take along time but I saw a magazine article for ribbon embroidery, this was fab quick and very effective results that look as if you have to be really clever to achieve but you don't.

I find mens cards quite hard especially when they don't have too many hobbies or you don't know them that well. I bought these skeleton leaves not really knowing what I was going to do with them but this is what I came up with, I think it might be one of my favourites.

This is a fairly recent card I did for a challenge and I think this could be another favourite again its quite simple though.

When it comes to girly cards I love the art deco era and have stamps and kits for these, I've actually got the same image as is on this card in a stamp and love using it but I also love the cute stamps and some girls are just the flowery type so I make these to. The art deco though I've used in mens cards too, I never realised how many cards I have made that are men orientated . Well if nothing else this little exercise has shown me I'm not bad at mens cards afterall.
