It's hard to see some of my stamping in the scan, which is too bad cause it's my first ever heat embossing! There are glittery flowers all over the black which came out pretty great looking in person, but don't really show well in the scan. Just thought I'd say. Cause these challenges, even though I'm issuing them, have also let me get out of my comfort zone. :-)

Now, the following points need to be added.

9th place: Lureen, who earns 6 points
8th place: Tammy, who earns 8 points
7th place: Holly, who earns 10 points
6th place: Andrea, who earns 12 points
5th place: Dianne, who earns 15 points

3rd place: Lynnise, who earns 22 points
2nd place: Jill, who earns 26 points
and...

Congratulations, all! That means the points after the Either/Or Challenge (not counting any of the points from The BIG Finale) are:

So, Team Two is in the lead, as of the start of the final week. How will the points end up??? It's still anyone's game! (And there are surprises yet to come!)
