Challenge #13 - Winners

Hello there! Wow - for this past week we had so many entries, and you sure made my job hard to pick just four that are stand outs. Just because you may not have a Top Tangle or Lovely Little Tangle this week, please let me iterate to come play along with us again. It's always a challenge to only highlight a few, and you never know when it's your turn for a shout-out :) But let's get to this week's round, shall we?

Without further ado, the top tangle for the anything goes challenge is Flubidoo!

by Flubidoo

Congratulations, Flubidoo! Your brilliant white on kraft and stunning center won us over.

Please email neatandtangledstamps(at)gmail.com and let us know which stamp set you would like. And feel free to display the "top tangle" badge on your blog!

There were a few other projects that caught our eye that we thought deserved some recognition, so here are the honorable mentions, or as we like to call them, the "lovely little tangles"!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the challenge! We hope you'll all play along for our next challenge, which starts this Thursday! We have our DT lined up for next term, so you'll be in for a special treat, when we reveal our stellar team for next term. Please give them a big, huge Little Tangles welcome, and we hope you'll be back to join us on Thursday.

So I am looking for 4 ladies to form the next term of Little Tangles DT members.  You have until Sunday May 19 11:59pm EST to submit your application.
