Below is this week's winner, chosen by FallingLadies.

Here's what FallingLadies had to say about the challenge and the treasuries!

I just wanted to say that even though I've won a few times now, it's just as exciting as the first time. there's always sooooo many wonderful treasuries and all with such different themes. I really loved them all but of course had to choose. I had my choices down to 8 and just couldn't pick from them, because I enjoyed each one for different reasons. I finally went with...



by knitella2011

This one was soft and I loved the light green and white, as in two of the other treasuries but I ended up choosing this for the cute cuddliness of it. There were some really great picks in it that I kept going back to. Thank you everyone who made treasuries, I really did enjoy them all! And here's my other 7 honorable mentions...

Winner of Treasury Challenge #19

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Alpaca team's 19th treasury challenge! I hope everybody had fun and I can't wait to see what you come up with this week!

Below is this week's winner, chosen by VeritasCrafts.

Here's what VeritasCrafts had to say about the challenge and the treasuries!

I love the Alpaca team and I was so excited and honored to win last week's challenge! I really loved looking at everyone's treasuries this week. It was so hard to narrow down the winning entry because there were so many beautiful collections!

I chose bird watching our way by FallingLadies because of the beautiful colors and the items that were chosen told a lovely story of a couple who love nature and exploring it. It was stylish and soft and wonderful for autumn.



The honorable mention treasuries were also really wonderful! They were all very unique. Some were hard and some were soft, some told a story. I loved all of these (In no particular order):

Romancing Autumn by pamelasjewelry

The Recipe by NouveauTique

Raindrops on Roses, Whiskers on Kittens by TheHeirloomBouquet

Memories of summer by beadingproject

Once Upon A Time by GrandmasCrochetCotta (also Autumn Falls)


Thanks to everyone who participated, and for all the time and thought you all put into every entry. I was so proud to see my item in so many beautiful groupings!



Congratulations to FallingLadies and all the honorable mentions!!
The next challenge will begin... Tuesday, August 23rd at noon Eastern!

Winner of the Treasury Challenge #18

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Alpaca team's 18th treasury challenge! I hope everybody had fun and I can't wait to see what you come up with this week!

Below is this week's winner, chosen by TheHeirloomBouquet.

Here's what TheHeirloomBouquet had to say about the challenge and the treasuries!

I have to say a big thanks to everyone who participated in this weeks challenge. I had a lot of fun looking at everyone's idea for treasuries and all the beautiful items in them. (I have a lot of new favourites now!).

I was expecting a lot of bridal treasuries because of the nature of the inspiration item, but I was really pleased and surprised at all the different approaches that participants took. I guess that just shows what a creative lot the Alpaca Team are.

I must admit as soon as I saw the winning treasury I knew it was the one. I love that it was different to the more feminine treasuries with its dark steampunk feel. It really did stand out, and so did my bouquet, so the winner is...

`Victorian' by VeritasCrafts.





That said, I really love feminine and romantic treasuries (I make them all the time!) and I had a tough time deciding on the HMs. I narrowed it down to:

`Disco Date' by GrandmasCrochetCotta
(most of the jewellery I use is from the 70s and I loved that link)

`Do they make cotton candy flavoured cappuccinos?' by barefootbananas

`Autumn Romance' by beadingproject

`Baby Doll' by FallingLadies

`I Do' by SimplyAroha

`A Touch of Old Hollywood Glamour' by NouveauTique
(for picking up on the Vivien Leigh link)

`She needed to get out of the office more often' by VeritasCrafts
(but I don't know if anyone is allowed to win and have an HM!)


Although there was a clear winner, all of the treasuries were beautiful this week and I've faced some difficult choices with the HMs. I've had a blast and I'd just like to say thanks to everyone who took part.

Best,
TheHeirloomBouquet


Congratulations to VeritasCrafts and all the honorable mentions!!
The next challenge will begin... Tuesday, August 18th at noon Eastern!

Treasury Challenge 17 Winner!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Alpaca team's 17th treasury challenge! I hope everybody had fun and I can't wait to see what you come up with this week!

Below is this week's winner, chosen by EmeraldTownRaven.

Here's what EmeraldTownRaven had to say about the challenge and the treasuries!

First of all I'd like to say a great big THANK YOU to all who participated! I got a little bit giddy inside everytime I had notifications containing treasuries inspired by my print! Each and every one of them was a joy to view! Being a lover of art and of reading, this whole experience was like catching a small glimpse of each individuals interpretation of a story inspired by my photo. It was great fun and difficult all at the same time, because I had to choose just one as a favorite. And the one that I chose was.........




I chose this treasury because I thought it was well incorporated with the theme of my photo. I adored the color pallette of the soft blues and whites and browns. I thought it contained very clever choices and it flowed so very well together. Congratulations TheHeirloomBouquet on a stunning win and thank you ALL again for your amazing work!!! I was beyond flattered at the beautiful treasuries that contained my print!!

And the honorable mentions are...

Meet Me In The Meadow by barefootbananas
Morning Faces that Make Me Smile by GrandmasCrochetCotta
Stepping Out In Style For College by PamelasJewelry
At the Rooster's First Crow by alpacakids
and Horse Sense by NouveauTique

Treasury Challenge 16 Winner!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Alpaca team's 16th treasury challenge! I hope everybody had fun and I can't wait to see what you come up with this week!

Below is this week's winner, chosen by FallingLadies.

Here's what FallingLadies had to say about the challenge and the treasuries!

It truly was hard to pick this week's winner as there were so many wonderful treasuries. I was afraid with a painting it might be harder for people to come up with unique treasuries but there was quite a variety. I was also surprised by how many people did underwater treasuries as it never occurred to me that green lady was underwater. Now, of course I see why people saw that, but I hadn't seen it at all before.

The Winning Treasury is...:]



It was just perfect. I loved the quote and all the picks and I thought it flowed together very well.


The Honorable Mentions are...


She Dreamt that she was a Gerber Daisy by NouveauTique. It was just so cute and the colors all were exact!

When a Fairy Falls into the Sea by VeritasCrafts

Two green ladies in a pink world by RedSnake
