    Thanks to CH first of all - I think everyone will agree we had extraordinary treatment in this contest - the feedback was generous and frequent and most of all kind and well intended. We all responded to that and I believe that is why there were so many great entries... was a close call and I am really happy to have won! :) Cheers to you all!

    Great appreciation for all of the beautiful designs. The author was honored at everyone's hard work and we found it difficult to choose - there were so many we loved. Many thanks and blessings to all!

    Greetings from Diana Fidone Griggs--As this contest prepares for its final hours, I wish to take a moment to thank A and D Sparks for hosting this contest for us. But, most of all I am so honored by each and every one of your submissions. This has been a thunderous explosion of incredible talent and creativity. Because of the beauty and artfulness of EVERY design, we have all spent many many hours discussing them and looking at them to get ready for a decision. You have managed to demonstrate the magical, mystical realm of the spirit in ways that no one else could. I encourage each one of you to leave these designs in your portfolio. It is going to be very difficult to select a winner. Please continue to share your talent with the world and I bless all of you. We will have more projects in the future and hope we are prvileged to be able to work with you once again! Thanks for all of the time, thought, and individualism you have put into your unique offerings. Diana

    #344 is my favorite. I always like to see the human element in a book design. Not a fan of the back cover though or the reflected image underneath.

    To all designers--These designs went way beyond our expectations! They are brethtaking! Just when we think we've seen it all, you send in something new and we are dazzled again. Do not worry too much about the back cover. It definitely needs to have a small brandable rose, room for the author's photo and room for some written words by either the author or someone else. The small brandable rose needs also to be on the binder as that will be her "signature" rose. It is getting most difficult to choose only one. Our extreme thanks for all of the time you have put into this.

    We are absolutely blown away by the beauty of all the recent designs added, from #165 to #222! The talent here is absolutely amazing! We would like to toss out one more idea before we make a choice, after looking at #153. We were most fascinated with the idea of a rose glowing from within, especially since the author felt that she was able to connect with the God within. We would love to see someone take this theme of the "glow" coming from within the rose, incorporate the other elements, and create something. The colors could still be the same as you have already started with or you could switch to the golds/browns--up to your imagination. Thanks so much for really giving it your all. This is awesome.
