February 1st Challenge **WINNERS**

Hey everyone! THANK YOU so much to everyone that played along with our last challenge. We had 80 amazing entries and voting was very difficult yet again!

As you know, we have switched teams with our sister blog Get Creative  for February and so the winners this time have come from the Get Creative Design Team. 

**Please note all winners have 1 week to claim their prizes**

I received votes from 12 Design Team members from Get Creative and the winners were so close all along. It is with great pleasure though that I announce that the winner out of 80 gorgeous entries, as chosen by the Get Creative Design Team is ...

CATHY CAFUN (Australia)

Cathy, you have created a work of art here. This is SIMPLY a pleasure to look at. The bold colours, the stunning picture and the way you interpreted this layout makes it clear to see why you were chosen as a winner out of so many. Your layering here is superb and the whole feel of your layout represents the young and funky attitude of your handsome son. Well done Cathy!!!

Cathy, for your efforts you have won your self a spot on our team for the month of March as well as a lovely kit from Swirlydoos! Please contact Irma ( irma0408@yahoo.com ) to get all the information on your Guest Designer spot and please contact Patti at onceuponasketch@hotmail.com to claim your prize.

As you all know we usually feature our Top 5 at this point. But ladies we had SO many wonderful entries and such a high amount of entries that the Get Creative team was simply blown away and found it hard to narrow it down to just a few. SO I have decided to feature 10 layouts this time that were all stunning and could have easily been winners.

Unfortunately there were some entries that could not be counted in the voting as they included no journalling or the wrong theme. Please remember to read the journalling criteria closely :)
