July 1st challenge *WINNERS*

Hi there everyone..

It is simply overwhelming to have so many incredibly beautiful entries. Your support of our challenge blog is blowing us away! Thank you so very much! How...just how do we narrow down 110 GORGEOUS entries to just a few?  Just looking through them all, we could easily just pick 50 to be the winning ones.

So once again, I would like to feature more than just the winner and the Top 5. I think so many entries deserve to be recognised.

I repeat again something I always say when I announce the winners...PLEASE do not be discouraged if your layout is not picked as the winning one or it is not featured. We sincerely hope you continue to play along and feel inspired here somehow. It really is VERY hard to pick winners between all these amazing entries and unfortunately some really outstanding work has to miss out.

But without further delay, here is the winner of the July 1st challenge. Out of 110 incredible entries, the winner is...

Anita S from Australia


Anita, the stunning simplicity of this gorgeous layout of your sweet boy is what made this layout a stand out. Your use of flowers on a boy page is so well done that this layout does not look feminine at all. The title stands out so beautifully, while the photo is just perfect. Well done. For that you have won a Guest Designer spot on our team for the month of August as well as this amazing collection from Karola Witczak and The ScrapCake..



Please email Irma HERE for all the information on your Guest Designer duties and me, Nadia HERE with your details to claim your prize.
