March 15th Challenge **WINNERS**

Hey everyone. I am here today to announce the winners of our last challenge. I will not even begin to talk about the blog hop which ends tomorrow night. The entire team and I are just blown away with the support and response there so keep an eye out on Friday when I announce the winner of the MAIN prize. 

We saw some heart warming, sometimes sad and touching journalling in our last challenge. You were asked to create a layout about someone/something that you are missing right now. Many Design Team members expressed the way they were incredibly moved by some of your journalling. I am so happy journalling has stayed and will be present here at OUAS! You are just blowing us away. 

Without further delay let me announce the winner of our March 15th challenge. 

Huge congratulations goes to...

**Jennifer has hidden journalling

Jennifer..your layout stood out to us because the picture is so uncommon yet so so serene. What could this layout be about? Well it is about missing someone that many women know all too well about..missing a lost child. I am so honoured that you chose our challenge to express your feelings about the loss as it is such a hard thing to have to do. Your background, and the colours you have used here are so fitting for your subject. Thank you SO much for sharing some of your self with us.

Jennifer for your efforts you have won a gorgeous chipboard pack from Imaginarium Designs and a winners badge to display on your blog, which you will find on the left hand side of this blog. Congratulations and please email me at nadiac78@hotmail.com to claim your prize.
