Winner & Top 3 ... Ch# 28 JUNGLE

NOTICE TO WINNERS: If you are a prize winner, and you do not claim your prize within one week of winning, the prize will  go back in the pot to be re-drawn at a later date.

 Thank you.

Reminder:  Our challenges stay open all year until December 31, 2012.

However, if you want to be entered for the weekly prize, you must submit your project by NOON EST on the THURSDAY before the next challenge begins on FRIDAY.

Since our challenges are open until December 31, 2012, you can always pop in an entry just for fun to show us what you got even if that prize has already been drawn because we LOVE to see your creations!

You can make any type of project you like using any type of crafting, cooking, yard decor.... anything... as long as the entry falls within our challenge theme.

Here's an idea... I'm making TAGS for all the challenges here this year. I create my tag using the THEME and then I answer the QUESTION for that week on the back.  All of my tags are added to a mini journal with a binding ring. This is just an idea. You do not have do make your challenge projects this way, but it is pretty cool. I can look back at all my tags from the challenges so far this year and see what my current crafting passion was... like a new punch or new Cricut cart or lots of buttons I was using. And I always try to include info on the back that my kids or grandkids may find interesting one day... like where we were living or how much gas was this week. Just stuff like that.

But what you really want to know is WHO WON CH#28 JUNGLE theme, right? Well, I'm glad you asked. Here is the WINNER and the TOP 3 picks (top 3 are in no particular order).

The winner of last week's JUNGLE challenge is Marilyn of Marilyn's Cricut Cards! Congrats! Please email me at craftyjanis at live dot com with your mailing address. Happy Dance! Don't forget to grab your WINNER badge to proudly display on your blog if you want. 

Here is the card that Marilyn submitted. I'm sure she'd love it if you popped over to her blog and said hello, FOLLOW, and leave some COMMENT LOVE.
