Wow what lovely entries we had in July for the "In the summer garden" challenge I hosted. Thanks to everyone who entered, there were 108 super entries. I have had the hard task of choosing my Top 3. After some deliberation I have come up with the following, in no particular order, just the order entered into the challenge
No 39 Annie G
I loved the unusual shape and design of Annie's card and that the butterflies were surrounding these 2 girls in their summer garden. So pretty.
No 74 Liz Cavill
I am a fan of all styles of crafting and Liz's CAS design really stood out. This is such a cool design and very elegantly presented. Very simple but gorgeous.
No 84 Jo let's art journal
Jo entered the challenge a few times, each time with lovely summer garden pages. I chose this one as I am a huge fan of agapanthus and have them in my own garden. Her collage design is beautifully executed, the flowers are from a napkin. Such lovely work.
And my DTSM goes to
No 34 Felix the crafty cat
Felix's little journal is just delightful. You really need to visit her to see this in all its glory. Many elements have been up-cycled too. This was obviously a real labour of love and contains so many gorgeous pages. An English country garden in all its glory and a very worthy special mention. Fabulous work.
As I look through my choices I notice one theme they all have in common...every piece contains butterflies! I must admit with this wonderful weather I have never had so many beautiful butterflies in my own garden. Enjoy the rest of the summer, lots of butterflies and your summer gardens.
