Alpaca Challenge 11 Winner!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Alpaca team's 11th 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 alpacakids.

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

What a fun ride it has been to have my baby hat as this week’s treasury inspiration item. It has been an honor to have my work featured, and an honor to be among such amazingly talented people. Thanks to each of you who participated. I loved looking at every entry. The unique themes and wonderful color palates that have been presented have been amazing.

It wasn’t easy but [this week's Winning Treasury is]:



I loved everything about this treasury. The yellows mixed with the shades of gray made a beautiful and surprising color combination. And beyond just combining beautiful colors, MyBluePeacock picked gorgeous baby products. And who could resist the cute baby theme and unforgettable treasury title?

The Honorable Mention treasuries were also all stunning- both visually and in theme. They are:

Well that was so difficult as they were all bright and so beautiful! It has been a real honour and quite touching to have had my little baby hat showcased in so many beautiful ways alongside some truely amazing items. Each and every submission was an absolute delight to view and it was a challenge in itself to isolate a winner! Every treasury theme and colour scheme was so unique, yet complimented the inspiration item perfectly!

The winning treasury was vibrant and fun and as I'd view and review, this one kept leaping off the screen at me, bringing a smile to my face. I loved the little felted shoes which were a perfect match for my hat and the colours of the other items too.

Treasury Challenge #7 Winner!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Alpaca team's 7th 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 gravityforge.

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

Thank you very very much to all of the wonderful people who participated in this challenge!

Most of you probably noticed..... my shop is brand new! To have this kind of exposure, so soon after opening my shop, was the most amazing thing ever. I was overwhelmed with all the views and hearts and goooorgeous treasuries that were made! You are all so sweet, supportive, and talented. :]

About choosing a winner... this was really really hard! I don't think people realize how hard it is, but every single treasury was amazing! It took me almost all day Sunday to pick my winner. I loved all of them, and was so honored at all the wonderful interpretations of my shell beads.

As this week's Winning Treasury, I finally chose.....




This was such a fun and exciting treasury! I kept looking at it over and over, and every time I looked at it, I liked it even more! So well put together and all of the items are super clickable! Really amazing work - it couldn't have gotten any better! :]

And because there would have been a tie, if I were allowed to do that, I chose a Runner Up......




This treasury was SO CLOSE to being the winner. I alternated back and forth between this one and "Feral Forest" for I don't know...... 15 minutes at least. A stunning treasury, full of amazing finds, soft colors, and with a magical mood! Brilliant curation. :]

The wonderful Honorable Mentions are:

Afternoon Espresso by AlpacaYarnShop
Sex in the Country... by GreenFoxDesigns
Down by the shore... by doolshandmade
Sailing Along Together by pamelasjewelry
Into the woods... by barefootbananas
Finding Fauna at the Farmer's Market by ecofriendlyfreckles

And finally, thank you so so much to AcornAlleyDesigns and WellCriated for all of your hard work and stunning support treasuries! It's a good thing you two aren't eligible to win - this was hard enough already!! :]

Can't wait for next week's challenge and to see what beautiful item Gogogorobot picks! :]

Love, gravityforge


Congratulations to Gogogorobot and all the honorable mentions!!
