April 1st **WINNERS**

Hi everyone..

It's time to announce the winners of our April 1st challenge. 

Before I announce the winners I would like to just quickly tell you that in order to be considered for a prize or a feature YOU MUST FOLLOW THE JOURNALING CRITERIA very closely. Besides the sketch, each challenge will have a set journaling criteria that you must include on your projects. Off the page or altered items and cards MUST have a quote on them in order to be in the running for a prize or feature. 

Our  *MAIN PRIZE* winner for the April 1st challenge, who also gets to come back in May as our Guest Designer is...

KYOKO of Japan


CONGRATULATIONS KYOKO!!!! Your layout was chosen by our Design Team out of 101 entries!!! 
You now have $AUS50.00 to spend at SCRAP MATRIX . Please email Lou here to get the details of how to claim your prize and please email Irma here regarding your Guest Designer spot next month.

Now these are the Top 5 as again voted by the Design Team. Can I just say here that there was probably 1 point different between all of these. Voting was SO close!

Now ladies...the Design Team and I have been so stunned with not only the amount of entries, but also how absolutely gorgeous all your projects were.
