Winners of Water Challenge

Layout by Barb W.


Happy early Fourth of July everyone! I hope you have some exciting plans for the weekend! I'm going to watch a parade, go to a festival, swim in a pool, barbecue, and of course- watch fireworks. It should be a great time.

But you're not really reading this post to hear my Fourth of July plans, you want to know the winners of the water challenge! For one of the winners I have a very cool prize. You'll be receiving a set of Close to My Heart Fourth of July stamps. They're perfect for scrapbooking your memories from this weekend.

The winner of the stamps is Barb W for her layout "Water Play" (seen above). I love the design with the three circles on the side and her journaling is very fun.

I'm also sending small blog prizes to Winks for her layout "The Shore" (seen below) and missjostar for her layout "Hawaii".

The photos on both of these pages were great and they made me want to visit the ocean again.

Congratulations and thank you to everyone who participated in this challenge. If I posted your name as a winner, please e-mail me your address at jwillden@ckmedia.com. Thanks again and I hope you all have a Happy Fourth of July!
