The winner of the Swirlydoos Ultimate Design Team Challenge is....

We are positively THRILLED to announce the winner of the very first Swirlydoos Ultimate Design Team Challenge! This was a rigorous six week multi-medium technique challenge, wherein paper crafters from around the globe were given weekly challenges meant to rock them to their very core and yank them right out of their comfort zones! These ladies worked with a barrage of mediums new to scrapbooking, and had to find new and creative ways to implement those mediums into specific design requirements. 55+ talented scrapbookers entered this contest, making it a living nightmare for our design team to judge. In the end, only ONE of those talented scrapbookers could come out as our Ultimate Design Challenge winner.

KATHI SIMMONS

Kathi inspired us greatly with her beautiful projects, her eye for detail, and the ways in which she took the challenge ideas and made them her own. Here are the projects Kathi created and turned in for each of the six technique challenges issued.

As our Ultimate Design Challenge winner, Kathi won an incredible scrappy prize filled with hundreds of dollars in paper crafting goodness. 

She was also offered a spot on our extremely talented design team, but politely declined the position because she didn't feel she could work within the deadlines our designers face. We thank her genuinely for her honesty in that! Nonetheless, Kathi remains as our UDC CHAMP, and a well deserved victory it was!

CONGRATULATIONS MY DEAR!!!!
