SUO Challenge 99, It’s Summer Time – Our Top 3!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our latest challenge. It's been fun seeing what everything thinks of when they think, "Summer!"

Thanks especially to our Top 3 whom we felt did the best job of capturing our theme for the week!  Click on the pictures of their projects to go to their blogs or galleries for more details.

Julia Quinn. What a soft beach collage Julia created!  The colors and embellishments she used created a gorgeous depth and texture to this project.  The decorated inside of this card is the perfect finishing touch! Definitely a work of art!

Melissa Cochran (Crazy Paper Freak).  This is another beautiful collage.  The colors are so different, but the details are equally compelling.  The red color accenets and the coloring in of some of the background map really make this card pop.  All of the elements seemed to be arranged perfectly!

Joanne James (The Crafty Owl). We love the balance of this design, with the colors on the ship, as ween through the "porthole," beautifully catching the Island Indigo color of the background. The porthole is so much fun, too, as it catches the sense of the ship at sea.
