Posted by Unknown Posted on 4:09 AM with No comments

Hello to everyone... Ann Marie back with the Winner and Top 3 picks from Challenge #137

Before I announce the winners, I would like to advise that with immediate effect Crafts and Me will be running a bi-weekly challenge combining both the Digi and Rubber Girls to cover the holiday period, commencing next Wednesday 26th June. With a small DT and life getting in the way combined with the slowing down of blogging whilst all you lovely ladies take are sunning yourselves on your holidays, we thought we'd give our girls a break too. Weekly challenges will begin again after the holiday period and everyone has recharged their batteries.

Now where was I, oh yes..... winners of the last challenge which was "Vintage." Thank you all for entering such beautiful vintage creations.. whether it was your image, design paper or fab embellishments, your creations were an inspiration to the whole team. As always, it is so hard to pick just three, so before I announce them, here is the "Winner" of the Ultimate Adhesive Kit from Stix2 ...

#53 Guild Master Crystal

Congratulations! Please email ROSE (email details in the sidebar) to claim your prize of the Stix2 Ultimate Adhesive Kit! Do grab your winner's badge from the sidebar for you blog :).

And now, the Top 3 for our Vintage Challenge are:

#8 Kim T : The lovely design papers, sepia tone and beautiful vintage image make this card so vintage!

#29 Louise - Once again, the gorgeous Die Cuts, image and Graphic 45 paper alon with the beautiful lace touch and vintage image are stunning!

# 10 Lucy Patrick- Using a Saturated Canary image colored with muted tones, and attaching her to all those delicious vintage papers with torn edges, pearls and metal embellies show how you can give many "modern" images a vintage touch. Nicely done.

Congratulations ladies! Please select your badge from the sidebar where we hope you will display it proudly on your blogs...Have a great day!
