July Winners!

Hello! And Happy Sunday to you :) Hope where ever you are, you are having a lovely day. I don't know about you, but I've been completely engrossed in the Olympics, so much so I forgot to post the winners for July! Oops ;)
In the Olympics 2016, Ireland won a *few* medals,  but the highlight for me is the O'Donovan brothers silver medal and their hilarious interviews. "#pull like a dog" Check out one here. Well done to all Olympians who participated and those who won medals.

Apologies again for the delay in posting the results and thank you for all the beautiful entries for our July challenge. With great deliberation, as always, we chose a top 3:
1st - #15 A Creative Life
2nd - #40 Tones Scrapperom
3rd - # 13 Lizzies Crafting Retreat

Please take the badge at the side, and display it proudly! Thank you to everyone who entered our July challenge.
Everyone is still in holiday mode, so our August challenge is going to be extended until Friday 30th September. We will be back at the beginning of September with some more themed inspiration. Until then, hope the last few days before school starts back goes well.

Have a lovely Sunday,

Happy Crafting :)
