Thank you, a layout, and a winner!

First I'd like to thank each and every one of you for the overwhelming response to the 
"Well OWL Be Blog Hop".

I will be visiting all of your blogs in the upcoming days if I haven't done so already!

Today I have a special layout to share.
Of course it's not at all what I envisioned when I started!

I grabbed a stamp, some Smooch, acrylic paint, a pen, fussy-cut mini hexagon strips
and went to work.

Loving the background....

Flipping through my photos and found these heartwarming shots 
of my Mom and niece at our rehearsal dinner.

Twine . . .

Title . . . 

Something handwritten (I'm trying to do more of this) . . .

I love it!

I'm entering this in the ScrapFit Workout #70 : Develop Your Own Polaroid.
My "Polaroid" is actually a piece of chipboard that I painted and inked and dressed up with a sticker.


And now it's WINNER time!


I had 88 fabulous comments on my owl-themed mini album, 
and Random.org has chosen:

Comment #12!

Wow!! What an amazing album!! I love all the different owls throughout!!I love the color theme of the album and all the amazing papers you used. Absolutely gorgeous!

    Gorgeous page! I love the stamped background. I did something like this a while back, using bubble wrap and only one color. I decided I didn't like it and put it aside. Now you've inspired me to maybe add in more color and take a second look at it. :)

    Wow, I really LOVE your layout! It includes so many of my favorite things like craft paper, twine, honeycomb and super adorable photos :) I like how it doesn't follow a "traditional" scrap layout and to me resembles more of a smashbook kind of of style. If I created something like that, it'd go in a shadow box frame for all to see! Big congrats to Susan :)
