I had problems adding the followers gadget as it DOES NOT COME STANDARD
any longer, with any Google+ affiliated blog, so I had to work out how to add it despite
 it no longer being on offer easily.

Now here is last month's mood board to remind you of what our winners had as their inspiration.

Our winners come from 7 different countries around the world this month!

Again we had a RESOUNDING WINNER for March -

Anna Rogalska from Poland!

It is easy to see why this layout came out tops.
 It has that stand-out WOW factor!

Now onto our FEATURES!

2nd place goes to Debbie Burns - USA



This layout is so seamless - everything just blends in so beautifully
 & Debbie's use of tulle to soften things even further is amazing!

3rd place goes to Jelissa Mei from Singapore!



Jelissa's layout is light, bright & beautiful with stunning background
 mixed media work that makes for a beautifully blended page.

4th place goes to Elpimpi from Poland!

The darker tones here really make this layout evocative
 & the soft base & inclusion of lace make it so romantic!

5th place goes to Stephanie Papin of France!



This white base with such delicate black contrast touches
 & pink highlights make for a dramatic yet soft & beautiful layout.




Now onto our 5 Finalists!

6th place goes to Dorotka Dolega from France!

Simple but perfect & the paint spattering &

 clear gems make this layout beyond beautiful!

7th place goes to Romy Veul - Netherlands

The photo, the title, the beautiful doilies & punching as well as 

the lovely pattern matching make this page wonderful!

The very sweet photo & bold simplicity of this layout,

as well as the funky mixed media work make it awesome!!
