Welcome to Round 1
The theme is...

Our wonderful sponsor this week is:
The Round 1 Champion will receive a personalized Kid's Valentine Design
Little Monkey Childrens Mini Valentines Cards or Tags Personalized Printable (Digital File)

And the moment we've all been waiting for...
Let's Meet the Contestants!

#1
Play Kitchen
I've seen a lot of these around blogland, but this was one of my fave! 
My favorite part of this kitchen is the painted texture wallpaper backsplash- really adds that "wow" factor. 

#2
Felt Hamburger
the detail was amazing! very real looking 

#3
Owl Quilt
love the design. very clever and cute! 

#4
Kinsley's Tree for Nursery
I enjoy that this is hand-painted and that I think anyone can do it.  Scrapbook birds and owls make it over-the-top cute!

#5
Braided Scarf with Pom Poms
At first I thought "I can't knit so I can't do that" but then I realized this wasn't knit- it's out of an old sweater - get the look of knit the easy way - great idea! 
Gorgeous!! you know how much i love pom poms :) 

#6
Sesame Street Hats
brilliant, simply brilliant! 

#7
Victorian Bustle Coat
Love at first site! love me some ruffles! i love how she took a pattern, then completely changed it to make it 20 times better and so pretty! 

#8
Smoothered in Kisses Pillow
I love the randomness of the hearts and the one that stands out - and the one on the back - nice touch. 
I want one! 

#9
No Slip Baby Doll Blanket
If only I had a little girl! 
All little girls need this - genius idea to have a pocket inside a blanket so the baby doll won't fall out - genius!

#10
Sparkle
Changing Table turned Entertainment Center

love the open shelving and the paint treatment - brings an old piece of furniture into a whole new light - what a difference!

#11
Better Together
T-Shirt Bibs
DSC09623
love the fun t-shirts she used. sassy and fun! 

#12
From Blank Pages
Name Mobiles

I'm not much into "paper crafting" but this makes me want to delve on in - I especially like how it's kind of 3D and sticks out a little 

#13
Chalkboard Activity Door
#14
Bags Welcome Here
#15
Apple Skirt
great design for a cute little skirt!

And the contestant button:


And for those of you wanting to know the selection process here's the nitty gritty:
  • Our 3 Judges picked their 15 favorite projects- their #1 choice got 15 points, #2 got 14 points and so on
  • The 15 projects with the most cumulative points are our Top 15
  • Mandy & Linda gave us some great feedback too! And... Jen is at blissdom and CHA with no internet:( so my amazing mother was kind enough to fill in (she didn't have time to leave comments and I promise I didn't influence her choices in any way). Don't worry- Jen will be back for this round!

  5. I can't even express how excited I am to be a part of this competition! Last night I was telling my Husband that the contestants were going to be announced today at 6 am, and he knows I've been waiting over 2 weeks for it! But a few minutes later I checked my email, and there was a message from Amy! He was very excited for me, even though it may mean a few missed dinners ;}

    Thank you, Amy, for putting this all together, and for this great opportunity!
