March Challenge Winner

Congratulations to irgenius!  She described her inspiration this way, "When I looked at the photo, I saw winter. Well here in the south, we want summer so we can put our flip~flops on. I do not this winter any longer. I want to put on my flip~flops and shorts and head to the lake."   I also noticed that the orange on the flip flops are the same color as the pillow in the inspiration photo. If you haven’t seen the fun and creative ideas that came from the inspiration photo  that were done for the March Challenge, be sure and go take a look in the Challenge Folder, you will be inspired, they are all wonderful. irgenius gets to choose from the wonderful gift choices here on the Challenge page.

There is no right or wrong answer on this. Just have fun! Details on the challenge can be found here. Are you ready to see what a few of the Design Team Members came up with? Joanna Wright

We have a few beautiful samples to share with you from the Pazzles Design Team. Melin Beltran
