Wow!!! We were blown away by the amazing amount of talent and creativity shown in our 1st Anniversary Anything Goes Mega Challenge! We have 11 sponsors, some fabulous prizes to give away and some freebies for those that want them! 

The DT have been voting, ties were broken, judges decisions are final! If you're on the list, you have till April 20th to claim your prize or a new winner will be chosen! We will be spotlighting the winners creations over on the LOC Facebook Group, please join us for that! Winners were chosen by DT Vote, sponsors names put in a hat, and chosen in order of the number of votes - eg first winner with most votes got the first name out the hat. To claim your prize contact Maureenjscott@googlemail.com or get me on Facebook!

So without further ado here are your 11 winners!












Now we have a treat for all the winners and runners up! There are no losers, everyone can claim a prize! 
The Lovely Lisa Tyrell of the LOC Crew has created four fabulous digital images that you can use on your projects - we would love to see you use them and submit your projects to our challenges!
