Bragging rights for Top 3 (4) Picks:

Note: due to a snafu in the Inlinkz, both link-ups' entries have been viewed and ALL entries considered for bragging rights.

Link 1 had 8 entries and 2 picked for Top 3.

Link 2 had 17 entries and 2 picked for Top 3 plus 1 for overall winner.

Hopefully to our followers and July participants giving 4 Top Picks plus an overall winner divided between the 2 link-ups is fair.

Link 1= #8 = Ann-Marie S. (fairy)

and

Link 2= #2 = Makira (ghosts)

Congrats to our overall top winner from May 2023 who accepted the invite to be July's Guest Design Team member, Karen C!! 

My name is Karen C, I'm a single mom of 1 cat and 3 adult kids.  I've been making cards for over 20 years.  I live near the capital of Idaho (USA).  I tell my friends, who occasionally give me a hard time about my crafting addiction, crafting may be expensive, but it is still cheaper than therapy!

So creative! Her card format and layered fairy with unicorn scene is delightful! THANKS!
