Round 1 Projects & Winners Round 2 Projects & Winners
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is so exciting, isn't it? We're almost into the final round of our first ever Creating with the Stars contest which is crazy! We know that the contestants are putting in hours and hours of work on their projects each week so that they are the best they possibly can be, and we just have to say that the caliber of their projects is blog star-level!
This week was Sponsored by The Home Depot, and isn't it amazing what a huge impact a little paint can have? Ah-mazing! Here's a little reminder of the epic prizes our Round 3 winner will receive…
$500 Gift Card to Home Depot (Contestant & Blog Star!!) $100 worth of Martha Stewart supplies from Plaid Crafts $125 Gift Card to Lucent Lampworks Project featured by HomeTalk
The votes were neck and neck again this week, with only a few votes separating the top two spots. Only three contestants move on to the finals, so the pressure is really on! Ok, enough of our chatting, let's get those results!
1. Amanda { Love and Renovations } and Beckie { Infarrantly Creative }
Painted Wall Mural and Dresser
This is Amanda's second week in a row in the top spot…for good reason! You just can't ignore that yellow dresser (Monica has a similar painted dresser in her dining room!) and set against that black wall, it's just stunning! Congrats again, Amanda!
2. Melissa { 5 foot 12 Creations } & Sherry { Young House Love }
Painted Chalkboard with Map and Games
3. Sarah { Sarah M. Dorsey Designs } & Brooke { All Things Thrifty }
Painted Desk and Accent Wall using Custom Stencils
Ack, this is just so hard to do (does it ever get easier?!!), but we have to say goodbye to these three amazingly talented women.
4. Sarah { While They Snooze } & Sarah { Thrifty Decor Chick }
Painted Map Coffee Table
5. Nancy { Owen's Olivia } & Kari { Ucreate }
Painted Couch featuring a Custom Horse Stencil
6. Janel { Nellie Bellie } & Brittany { Pretty Handy Girl }
Aztec Wonder Painted Rug
Seriously, we could cry about having to let Nancy, Sarah and Janel go! You guys are welcome back here anytime. And, now we know who to call when we need something awesome painted!
Here's the voting break down… the first and second place projects were separated by under 50 votes!! Insane!

Ok, it's the finals now, people- the last chance these bloggers have to show what they're made of!
The prizes are stinkin' awesome this round (and the Blog star gets them too!)

Next week the challenge is Home Decor- so anything (even a room makeover) is fair game! Tomorrow we'll be sharing the tutorial for that amazing mural and yellow dresser! We'll be so sad when this contest is over and we don't have these incredible tutorials on our blog anymore!
