A winning post!

I finally found the time to go through all of the Lollipop Girls votes they sent in and I'll now announce the WINNERS for our April and May challenges. Thank you for your patience!

There were SO many of you who created winning layouts so I decided to also list 5 "Honorable Mentions" from each month as well.

In April, we were given this beautiful kit to giveaway from Scarlet Lime:

So, who gets it?

If YOU created this WINNING layout than YOU did! But since YOU didn't, SHE did! Congratulations Amanda!

The Lollipop Girls and I LOVED your take to the "It's Raining, It's Pouring" challenge and we loved the meaning behind it even more! You took Snap Crackle Pop's example layout for the challenge and totally made it your own and we :heart: you for that.

I want to share Amanda's journaling because it's SO beautiful and you should all take something from it....

ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS

If it never rains, how can we learn to appreciate sunshine?
If you're never sad, how do you know the value of happiness?
Without rain, the flowers wouldn't grow,
just as we can't learn from mistakes if we never make them.
Happiness is not to be taken for granted.
Take the good with the bad.
Truly, I'm only happy when it rains.

And here are the 5 April creations (in no particular order) that caught our eye this month.....

In May, we had this delicious kit to giveaway from our sponsor Magpie Club.
We were faced with another tough choice to make as SO many of you took part in our 4 challenges in this particular month. We managed to narrow it down and came up with this winning layout as our absolute fave!

Congratulations Jeanette - Tettiz!

This layout of yours truly warmed our hearts and we thought it was such a creative take to our "TWENTY-ONE" challenge!

And here are the 5 May creations (in no particular order) that caught our eye this month.....

Butterscotch

We have a NEW Sweet Confection for you today....It's our "Butterscotch" kit....and it was inspired by our past DT Member "Butterscotch Scrapper." It's filled with 8 tantalizing papers including Hambly Woodgrain Overlay, White Cardstock, Glitter Chatterbox, K&Company and Autumn Leaves.

It also includes: Chatterbox Alphabet Stickers, Stitched Felt, Ribbons & Trims. As well coordinating blooms, buttons and other embellies to suit your fancy. Not to mention a Mini Wood Grain Frame for you to alter perhaps.
I'm loving the rich browns, Butterscotch yellows, dark greens and turquoise colors with white. These colors are so eye-catching together. It sort of reminds me of the old-fashioned See's candy store where they gave you a free Butterscotch lollipop at the door. I miss that place!
This kit is available now for just $35.00 + s&h!!!

To order, go to the Menu Bar where it says CONTACT US and email us your mailing address and paypal address to determine s&h. You must have Paypal to order.
