Hello everyone and happy Friday to you!
Before I explain this week's challenge, I would like to thank you all for joining in on the fruity fun! Your entries were so sweet, and I love that the new link system we have showcases everyone's work. Thank you again!
And now on to congratulate the top 3 winners of Fruits Of Labor challenge:

Congratulations Peri!

This card was so cool with the retro/vintage vibe, yet it had all the cool paper piecing and fun DP to accent it. The patterns mix so well together!

Congratulations Stephanie!

What a fun and whimsical card, and a sweet story to go with it. Stephanie made this for her mom who loves tea. And check out that cherry embellishment!

Congratulations Laurel!

This was such a fun entry! I love the clever way she did the apple tree, and all the added details makes me smile!
