Summertime Winners and Top 3

Hi everyone!

Laura here to bring you the Winner and Top 3 from my 'Summertime' Challenge.

WOW! the entries for August were wonderful and each one was blissfully summery. Thank you to everyone for entering our 'Summertime' challenge and showing us what inspires you at this time of year.



First of all I would like to announce who won the summer themed bundle of goodies from our very generous sponsor last month Crafty Individuals

 The lucky winner selected by Random.org is 

Hazel

Well done Hazel....please email us and we will send you the Crafty Individuals goodies. Have fun!

It is always difficult to choose a winner and Top 3 but finally I came to a decision and here they are.....

My winner of the 'Summertime' challenge is -

Bonnie McLain 

This gorgeous tag is so amazing! - I adore everything about it - the bright vivid colours, those stunning flowers and that wonderful bee all adds up to such a special summery creation. If you haven't seen this before then I suggest you hop over to see all the pictures and read how it was done - Bonnie has really created some very magical beauty here!

 

...and now for my Top 3 (in no particular order)

The Musings Of A Chocoholic

Ahhhh...A summer garden with lots of flowers. Total bliss! I love this card with it's gorgeous contrasting layers, delicate lace and those wonderful hand coloured flowers. It is such a beautifully designed card.

 Julie Short

Julie's creation caught my attention straight away! We don't get many jewellery entries here at OCC and I thought this was breathtakingly beautiful. So full of summery colours, dazzling and so exquisitely detailed. 

Super work Julie!

Jane's Journal 

This is such a fabulous tag book! I loved how much detail was in it and how superbly made it was. Those summery colours are just so beautiful and this will obviously be such a treasured keepsake.

Thanks to all who entered....it is such a shame I can't show more entries because there were so many I would have loved to have featured here today.

You could be here next month as our winner or Top 3 - Just hop over to Claudia's 'Autumnal Image Inspiration' challenge and have a go! You could even win a prize from this month's sponsor Tando Creative!
