Week 203–Winner & Top 5 Passionista

I’m sorry for the late post this evening……I got engrossed in the tennis and forgot the time! I love Wimbledon and it seems the weather is playing ball (sorry couldn’t resist) so far!

We’re back to announce the lucky winner and top 5 passionista for last week’s “floral fantasy” challenge. The DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing all your amazing creations. We’ll be announcing Eileen’s top 5 passionista in a minute but firstly let’s find out who the lucky winner is!

Last week’s challenge was sponsored by DigiStamp Boutique and the lucky winner will receive 6 digi images of their choice. As always we used random.org to be fair (there were 60 linked entries and 1 email entry) and he chose:

No. 51

Carol

Congratulations Carol, your card is gorgeous. The brightly coloured flowers and red gingham look so pretty together. Please email us and we will arrange for you to receive your prize.

Now onto the top 5 passionista and Eileen really enjoyed visiting your blogs and with so many gorgeous entries it wasn’t an easy task to narrow it down to just 5. However after much deliberation here are her favourite 5:

Dora

Christine

(lots more photos on her blog)
