Yay it’s Friday and time to announce the new winners and Jenny, with the help of the Creative Guides, has chosen the winner and Pinworthy Mentions for her fabulous challenge ‘Get Some Texture’
Jennie says - I've chosen #29 Karen Garrard as my winner for her phenomenal Titanic memorial folio.
Karen has packed so many 'Tim' tricks and techniques into this incredible project and has definitely gone the extra mile to include lots of researched ephemera and altered trinkets. I loved her attention to detail and the quality of her workmanship, and would definitely want to see this in person given half a chance.
And the Pinworthies are (in numerical order);
Well Jennie, I think you have made some excellent choices there. Thanks Karen for sharing your amazing project with us and for taking the time to make it specific to the challenge and congratulations on winning our Winner’s Badge. You will soon receive notification of your prize which is a £10 voucher to spend in-store at Country View Crafts and your project will be pinned on our Winners Pinterest Board. We hope you will join us soon as a Guest Designer and tell us a bit about yourself and your crafting talents.
Congratulations also go to Kath, Tocoart and Mo for their fabulous contributions too and your projects will be pinned to our special Pinworthy Mentions Board on Pinterest in the very near future (and may well be there already). Your blog badges will be with you very soon too.
Thanks to all of you for sharing part of the vintage journey with us.

You will see her first project here as a Creative Guide on Friday 27th June when the next new challenge gets announced. Looking forward to seeing you then.
In the meantime have a great weekend.
