May Challenge Favourites and a Winner

Hello Everyone!

I'm just popping in to quickly announce the winner of the May Challenge! 

I know it seems ages since the Bingo challenge but sometimes life just gets in the way but here I am at long last to share a few of my favourite entries and tell you who has won a little prize, picked at random from all the entries!

You all seemed to love playing Bingo with lots of you playing along and linking up so it was tricky to pick out my favourites from so many fantastic projects.

Becky

Becky used our "Dreamy" monthly kit to create not just one but three fab layouts each using a line of the bingo grid!

Sheena

Sheena picked the line mist/metal/bow line from the grid and created a beautiful page with lots of layering!

Nathalie

A fun, colourful page by Nathalie with a brilliant journalling idea!

Please do hop on over to these ladies blogs to see their layouts in detail .... and leave them a message whilst you're there ... if you click on their name above the layout it will link you to their blogs!

So onto the winner, picked using random.org

Congratulations to .....No: 17 ... Petrina!!

Petrina entered the challenge via our Facebook page which is always option if you don't have a blog! You can e mail me your project too!

Petrine, please get in touch by e mail to sarah@sjpapercrafts (dot) co (dot) uk with your mailing address so I can get your prize sent.

Thank you to all of you who play along with our challenges .... I love visiting your blogs to see your work ... there's just a few days left to link up for the June Colour Challenge!

Enjoy your day!
