Winners of the Spring Mantels and Vignettes Challenge!

Welcome to The CSI Project! We had some very, very lovely spring decor entered into the challenge this week. It’s so exciting every week to see the projects that you come up with. There is no lack of creativity in blogland, and we are so happy that you come back to share yours with us each week.

We are sorry, though, that some of you missed out on sharing your projects with us this week due to widespread technical issues with Blogger. We missed you! We’re unable to extend the weekly challenge, but we have included all those who left comments about their attempts to link up in the random drawing for the giveaway this week. We hope all of you will be up and running again soon, and look forward to seeing more of your projects in the future.

We want to thank Kristen Salazar, blogger of My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia, for being our guest judge this week. Kristen had a lot of eye candy to enjoy from this challenge, and she loved it! Here’s what she told us:

“Thank you for having me as this week’s judge! I had so much fun exploring all the Spring Mantels, there are so many talented bloggers out there! I didn’t realize how hard it would be to just pick one, I wanted to choose them all! My favorite part of this experience was exploring all the wonderful new blogs!”

Kristen viewed your projects, and chose her favorites. She paid each of them the nicest compliments, too! We’re super excited to show off the winners….
