First let's announce the randomly drawn winner of the prize donated by our wonderful sponsor last month Tando Creative:

Let's move on now to the winner and the top three entries for my Tic Tac Toe Challenge.

 The winner is:

Branka

For me, these pages just glowed with light and grungy colours, gorgeous texture, stamping and other wonderful details such as the wire framing the photo. I kept coming back to look at Branka's entry - particularly the close up images. Once you see these, you appreciate the creativity that Branka has poured into these two pages. A wonderful, mixed media interpretation of my challenge.

Thank you Branka for this stunning entry and I hope to see more of your fab work in the future.

Now to my Top Three:

(These gorgeous pieces are in no particular order)

Ellie Knol

I love Ellie's style with soft muted tones and depth of colour layers. The maidenhair stencilled modelling paste which has been coloured and stamped is stunning and I love the 'Ryn' water drop stamping. For me, this page needs no sentiment or quote, it can weave a story all of it's own in your imagination.

Ruth

A stunning, textured background from Ruth which creates great depth to this piece. Ruth's flowers are simply beautiful with those wonderful centres, spritzed colour and variety of layers. The piece has a subtle sheen which isn't my normal style but I think it looks just perfect in this context. I love the frosty look to Ruth's piece too.

Nikki Acton

I loved this piece by Nikki because if I did ever become a scrapbooker, this is how I would like to do it! Can you believe this is Nikki's first scrap book page?? I love the grungy tones which you can see in the close ups on her blog; the composition which works perfectly and yes, the pink!! From die cuts to stencilling, this scrap book page has it all for me.

Huge congratulations to all these talented ladies - it makes being part of a challenge blog an absolute pleasure when you get to view entries such as these.

Thank you again to everyone who entered my challenge and I'm just sorry that I couldn't choose loads more of you to appear here. There were lots of stunning entries and I'm honoured that so many of you were inspired to join us for this challenge.
