Challenge #3 Lovely Lace/ Terrific Trim

Hello Vintage Friends,
Welcome back to the 3rd challenge here @Live & Love Crafts!

26...
No sadly that's not my age but
it seems to be somewhat of a haunted number... Both Challenge 1 and 2 ended with exactly 26 participants. I'm no Nostradamus, but I do have a strong sensation that this time around poor 26 is going to be greatly outnumbered though...

But first things first:
My sincere apologies for not having announced the Top 3 Winners of our July Challenge, Nautic, previously. Here are the Design Team's Top Picks:
 
Congratulations Ladies; we hope you'll wear your badges with pride!
As cute as they are, but these photo thumbnails do not do these gorgeous projects justice, so please click on the images to be taken directly to the projects!

Sorry again for being so late; I promise I'll do better with the announcement of the Top 3 for the August challenge. ...and here's now the lucky random winner of last month's challenge:



No. 5 - Elly

Congratulations; please contact me, Sandy, to claim your prize:
Seems like not many crafters like carrot cake...or???
There was only one entry for the Carrot Cake Challenge...

Congrats Jen Hodges!!!
Your cake looks delicious and you're the winner of the Secret Prize from Live & Love Crafts. :-D
You will receive the same Pion Design papers GDT Member Kirsty-Anne used for her recipe box and the Vintage Scallop Lace Trim from Maya Road. Enjoy!
