All I can say is....

Wow, wow, wow!!! I got no less then 33 wonderful LO's in my mailbox. Many, many more then I expected and all beautiful and unique!
I'm sooo glad that I didn't have to choose the winner myself because it was almost impossible to choose only 2!!!

But..... Anita did! Thank you so much Anita for your independend judgement, I'm sure it was a difficult decision!

And the winner of the first price is.....

"New Hat" by Yvonne de Boer! Congratulations Yvonne!



This is what Anita said about this LO:
I love how she took the idea of handcrafts from the hat theme and added it to her layout using stitching and hand tied buttons. A beautiful title with overlapping fonts and such a pretty mix of patterned papers!

The second price is for "Wanted" by Mariska Hofman!
Congratulations to you too Mariska!



And this is what Anita said about this LO:
I love the rich mix of colours and how she brings together the b&w photo with these rich colours by adding white rub-ons! The threaded string is a nice finishing touch!
