August and September Top 3 and Guest Designer Picks

 Happy Saturday! Today we are announcing our Top 3 and Guest Design Team picks for August and September. We had fewer entries than usual for these months (hopefully you all were out making memories that you can add to your scrapbooks later), so I decided to combine the winners for these two months. August's challenges were all about Stash Busting, and September was all about patterned papers, and we had a total of 11 submissions for these challenges.

Here are our Top 3 for August and September:

Nelya - LM #762 Stash Busters Week 1

Haven - LM #769 Patterned Paper

Lori - LM #766 Polka Dots

And for our guest designer, I would like to invite Margaret to join us for a future challenge.

June Top 3 and Guest Designer Picks

Happy Saturday! Today we are announcing our Top 3 and Guest Design Team picks for June. Lisa asked us all to use specified sizes of paper to create our layouts.

A couple of the ladies submitted multiple layouts, so here are our faves!
