What wonderful innovative use of 'metal' on your card!

Winning an Awesome Prize from
Our Fabulous Sponsor

Congratulations!!
Please take your Winners badge from above
and email Tracy at tracy(dot)rich(at)xtra(dot)co(dot)nz
to claim your prize.

I have a lil' confession to make...
I've been poorly, for over a week now,
which means, I've missed posting this winner's post
but even funnier, is that in my fevered state, I asked 'two' of
the lovely DT to judge this same challenge! LOL

So this week, we actually have a Top 7!
The girls agreed on three of the winners!!!
A big thank you to our lovely Agnieszka and Karen
who had the difficult task of choosing our Top 5 7 this week.

We get so excited every fortnight to
see all the gorgeous creativity that comes in
You're ALL awesome
But I'm sure you'll agree
The Top 5 deserve a high 5!

In numerical order
