Winners for Challenge #347 - Recipe for a Colourful Zoo Crew

Well, we apologize profusely about our technical woes last week!! None of us are particularly technically gifted, and it was a real struggle to get our website back from our domain provider, who didn't really bend over backwards to help us, by the way, either! I'm sure it left many of you wondering if we had disappeared entirely and for good!

But, fear not! We are back and we intend to stay, so spread the word! Our entries were few, due to the problems, so we just have a Featured Artist and Top Pick this week! Hopefully, there'll be more next challenge!  Here are the winners of Challenge #347:

Our Top Pick is: Suzy Hinton

Suzy chose a really cute way to incorporate all the Challenge elements in her card!  The Design Team absolutely loved the pink piggy so full of character! The way his head is mounted separately makes him look like a bobble head, which would be really cute. The choice of paper and texture along with the cute and so appropriate sentiment and bow add so many awesome details! This card is so skillfully done, it really deserves the Top Pick! Congratulations, Suzy.

And our Featured Artist this week:

Our Featured Artist is: Johanna from LHC

Johanna, our Featured Artist this week and winner, used the elements of the recipe very cleanly! We loved her choice of embossing folder and the way she coloured the embossed paper with the pastel colours. The juggled bananas are displayed perfectly and that little monkey himself is so endearing! Well earned Featured Artist award!  Congratulations, Johanna!

Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! Come and check out our new Theme Challenge tomorrow morning on our blog! Our winners today can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.
