He judged, She said :

It's really a tough job to judge this challenge because the entries inspired me... ALL of them, in a major major way! So to make things easier for me... I asked my hubby, to help me judge .... and our choice is

Sookie's "Shine" ...

It's beautifully done and we love the message! I never thought that a simple, humble and honest prayer could be a great inspirational journaling for a layout... :)

Round Robin Team A - Bheng and Bedette

Bheng played around with the layout design to come up with a very creative and interesting interpretation of Bedette's page. She clustered the photos with the title and borders to pull the design together and draw your attention to the photos. The common elements was still retained like the photo orientation, the borders, journaling spot, birds and flowers with a twist to bring out a bright and playful page.

Beth's adaptation of Bheng's page is very prominent like the borders, photo and title placement were lifted. To add interest to her page she played around with the embellishments to blend with her theme like the trees, flowers, birds and butterflies which added texture and sweetness to her page.

Jen mixed the elements on Beth's page to suit her style. The earthtone, the nature theme, the trees and the butterflies and the title placement were adapted from Beth's page. She added interesting shapes to the border for layers, intricate cutting of the tree and added masking to add a special touch to define her true style.

Lily also adapted Jen's overall design with the scalloped papers, the baby photos and photo orientation, the title placement and the butterflies. But her use of bright colors and her own cluster of embellishments convey the theme for her pretty baby girl that made the page completely her own.
