Now it's time to check out the top picks for challenge #1. This week, Hayley and Tara have each picked a Captivator - how could we pick just one out of so many beautiful entries!?

Michelle Bala

My Passion for Crafting

Hayley's Pick: I totally fell in LOVE with Michelle's sweet design. The background is perfectly muted and the flower, twine and burlap embellishments are FABulous. The little pin just really completes the whole card for me. Congratulations Michelle on being one of our very first Colour Captivators! Please remember to collect your badge and display with price :)

Christine Drogt

Karten Chaos

Tara's Pick: I just loved Christine's fabulous feathers and the sweet border details. The chevrons int he background are a great touch and that little bow around the feather stem is darling! Congratulations Christine on being a Colour Captivator for our very first challenge!

And now, lets give it up for our honourable mentions!
