Winners for Challenge #354 - Dining Al Fresco

We just loved all the entries that came with the Picnic Theme! They were all amazing! It was SOO hard to choose winners!  The picnic food looked delicious, especially those pies! Couldn't you almost smell them? However you slice it though, they were all beautiful!

Here are the winners of Challenge #354!

Our Top Pick is: Kelly Schirmer

The Design Team loved the pie cards this week, and no wonder! The pies were so realistic looking. Kelly's cherry pie not only looked delicious, but she put it in a picnic context by adding all sorts of gingham and cherry red and white details. Check out the fringed blanket and the scalloped cloth! So effective! Congratulations on being awarded Top pick this week Kelly!

Our Featured Artist is: Jaydee

Jaydee's apple pie took the cake in our opinion! We could almost taste that flaky crust and those tart apples. Then the apple die cuts, the colours, the pink gingham and the apple tree in the background just added to that Dining Al Fresco motif! Pie and picnics are the best! And the subtlety of Jaydee's shading added to the reality of the look! Congratulations, Jaydee, on being this week's Featured Artist!

It's definitely picnic season in the Northern Hemisphere and dreaming of picnic season in the Southern Hemisphere, so what does a picnic look like to you? Do you have a dedicated picnic basket complete with gingham tablecloth, or blanket, thermos, cutlery, plates and food containers, or do you pack a Tupperware container with food and eat with paper plates, or pull things out of a backpack?That's our Theme Challenge this week, thanks to our creative team mate, Heather H.
