Lynda's pretty framed flowers and fruit capture both the colours and vibe of the mood board. Such pretty summery pops of colour.

Top Picks Challenge #370 and Reminder Post - Challenge #371 - Visual Prompt - Summer Vibe

 Welcome to our two part post.

**First, a reminder that you have until Friday, July 17 at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #371 -Visual Prompt - Summer Vibe found HERE.  If you've joined us already, thank you (and please feel free to join again); if you haven't, we'd love for you to do so. 

Second, we had 37 entries for Challenge #370. You certainly served up your leftovers in stylish, creative fashions; so interesting to see how you gave your seconds some first class treatment.

As always, selecting Top Picks is a challenge but...choose we must. 

Our Top Picks:

Gerrina

Gerrina's leftover ink from her stencil creates a lovely background for her dad-and-daughter image. Reminder to all of us, especially those who love stencils:  wipe off the residual ink for down-the road backgrounds or die cuts. Possibilities galore. 

Vicki

Vicki has assembled her leftover roses and patterned paper into an eye-catching, beautiful card.  Reminder to all of us: left over paper scraps and images can be come new, lovely works of art.

Alice

Alice's recipe for her leftover card is brilliant; the remnants of a previously made donut card became her stencil and, after using inks and a fine-line marker to define her balloons, she added a leftover sentiment to finish it off.  Reminder to all of us: die cut leftovers can be served up in a variety of ways. 

Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.
