Winners for Challenge #242 - Hearts and Flowers

 Hearts and florals abounded in our gallery in many forms over the past couple of weeks! So beautiful and creative! Thanks to everyone who participated! Hearts and flowers from the Design Team to you all! But in our heart of hearts, we knew we would have to narrow down the winners for those Victors' Bouquets! And here they are:

Our Top Pick is: Cindi Copeland

Cindi has several 40th (Ruby) Anniversaries coming up among her friends and so this design will serve her well this year! And our sketch came in handy for the layout! The Red Glimmer paper is a real show stopper when used with that floral heart die and the sentiments in pink are a nice complement! Check out the envelope as well! What a nice surprise to get on a special anniversary!

Our Featured Artist is: Vicky Hayes

Vicky's rustic country take on our sketch is very effective. The Design Team really liked her faded wood grain background for the red gingham heart. The little purple flowers were a sweet surprise but worked very well with the theme!  Well done, Vicky!
