yeehaa...

i made it as one of top 3 winners of My Little Attic's Fancy Pants Challenge called the Colors of Summer. it's always sweet to get scrapbooking goodies as a reward for something i would love to do anyway...yey! this is the LO that made it:

Ms Leah Fung commented this about it:

"There are so many great elements to this page - lots of fun ideas that other scrapbookers can use too. First off, I love the composition - I like how everything is at an angle which immediately adds vivacity to the layout. I like how the large strip of patterned paper extends off both sides of the smaller patterned paper used in the background. There are lots of fun embellishments on her layout too but the photo is clearly the focal point of the page. I also like how she tucked part of the flower behind the photo and added the black flourishes above and below the journaling and in the lower corner of the page. The title and sentiment of this layout is great too! Side note: I also loved her Sand Sational page!!"

Even if it was not the grand prize LO, I'm so thrilled! Nice cap to my day!

Congratulations to the grand prize winner Carrie and Diane who also made top three. You deserve it ladies!
