TOP 3

"Traveling The World" Challenge

I wanted to thank each and everyone of you that participate with in this challenge. It was amazing to see the different sites through your eyes. I am truly blessed with this one...And what was even more awesome was that no one truly did the same as each design stood out on its very own. I am really impressed this week with all of your hard work. You all were truly amazing. And because I haven't done this in a while, I want to treat you all to a week off. We have done several challenging events in this group lately in a row, and I want to give you a chance to relax and breath a little. I mean it everyone...Relax and enjoy what you can of this time off, you all earn it. Well done...Very well done indeed.

Have no fear though there will be another challenge down the road...We will convene again next week Sunday the 12th of April for that said challenge. For now though, let us celebrate this week's top 3.

Remember if you placed, look below your design for a personalized message from me to you...Your top 3 are....

(If you are issued a prize, please collect before next Sunday at 5pm CST. Otherwise all unclaimed prizes will be forfeited.)

1st PLACE ~
Lupveori's Design:

(The Forbidden City, China)



@Lupveori...I am thrilled that you came back for this challenge after first requesting to opt out. You did an amazing job with your design, especially incorporating the various colors you had with in your reference picture. The species aurelion was an excellent choice as well. Thank you so incredibly much for taking us on a trip to China with you on this one. For your hard work you get to select a pet from my group tab in my stables for your own. Just let me know which one. If you rather have a different one that is up for sale instead, please let me know and we can lower the price down to half off. Other than that, please send me a COD for 20K. And let me know if you need or want the CODed item back. Again well done!

2nd PLACE ~
Limor's Designs:

(Abandoned Joyland Amusement Park, Kansas)



@Limor...You brought so many splendid designs to the table this week. All were truly fascinating beyond belief. Several of the places you have selected, I would love to go and visit some day myself and I hope you do one day as well. And with so many wonderful places to go, I had a hard time pinning your top design down. I was really stuck between the Crescent Hotel and this one above here...I opted to go with this one, because of the creep factor. Nothing scarier than an haunted amusement park! For your hard work, please send me a COD for 15K. Keep up the awesome job that you do!

3rd PLACE ~
Sophie's Designs:

(Zermatt, Switzerland)



@Sophie...Your designs this week were amazing to say the least. You took time picking out just the right colors especially in the griffi design to make it all pop. You should be proud of what you brought to the table this week, and I look forward to seeing more from you in the future!

Thank you!
