March was National Craft Month, and we celebrated with celebrity crafters, sharing inspiration, and with our Facebook Craft Photo Contest. Two winners were selected -- one by popular vote, and one by our panel of judges.

Congratulations to Kim Butler and Allison Hoffman the winners of the 2012 Craft Photo Contest! Both will receive a $250 Jo-Ann gift card.

Kim Butler, of Newburyport, MA took the popular vote with her hand-painted river rock. "I love to find rocks of different shapes and sizes and turn them into lovely creatures," she says.

Allison Hoffman, of Austin, TX, was selected as the winner of the judges' vote with her crocheted version of Bob Ross. "I crocheted Bob Ross and made him a little painting. He's from my own pattern and made with lots of different yarns, like Vanna's Choice and Caron Simply Soft. I also used a miniature easel and canvas and printed a Bob Ross original, then Mod Podged it on. His paintbrush is a matchstick! Happy trees and fluffy clouds," she says.

Thanks to everyone who entered the contest! We loved the creativity and craftsmanship displayed.
