Top 3 and Our July Winner!

Amazed at the fantastic response we had this month, 81 total entries- WOW!!! The Mavens have been very busy this week looking through each entry and visiting your blogs to select our top 3 as well as our big June winner! First, let's start with our Top 3 for the month:

First we have Angi and her fabulously artsy take on Sketch #51. Love those bold colors against the Kraft, and the film strip across the top is so cool!

Second, we have Kathy with her layout for Sketch #52. We love how this layout is so fresh and pretty, and such a lovely photo too! 

And thirdly we have Ali, the winner of our Open Challenge. This color combo is just so sweet, and we love all the buttons and the little aqua bird! 

  

Finally we have the big winner for the month, thanks to Mr Random Generator:.....
