 MTTC's #481 Top 3 Picks Announcement

Theme was "Around The House". We had 12 entries and what a diverse approach to the theme from each one. It's so fun to see the creative techniques and interpretations other crafters have to a topic! The challenge ended at 12am Central Time/6am UK at start of Thursday, May 19th.

Meena's not able to pick Top 3, so I/Becca will be taking this round. The variety of projects were so unique it was difficult to narrow to three.

# 2 Roberta (Edgar Allen Poe statue, candle, and other items in the vignette)

#3 Nik1 (chess game pieces themed card)

#10 Ma-Mi (CAS style with stamped and colored vase with palm leaf)

Best wishes. Bragging rights are possible. Top 3 picks for #480 announcement post was made a few hours ago. We had just 6 entries that were all amazing. The #480 theme was features outside the house like fences, gates, arbors, trellises, walls, sheds, etc. So this time we focus on the house and what's inside. It's a great time as we celebrate our parents, graduates, bringing in those May flowers to enjoy inside, baking cookies, cupcakes, and cakes for special events, etc. 

Let's find time to craft "Around The House"!

Congratulations to these crafters: in order of submission=

#2 Katrina B (wall and shed on her card for her uncle)

#4 Aimeslee (trellis and brick wall)
