AND THE WINNER IS...

...not me! I must admit, I was a little surprised. I'm talking about the Summer of ScrapLovin' Challenge that I participated in over the last 8 weeks. There was a first place winner, a second place winner, and 2- third place winners, but I was not among them. There were quite a few ways to earn points during this challenge. First, complete the 8 challenges - which I did plus, the 2 bonus challenges. So on the brighter side, I have 10 kick-butt LOs that I really like! Second, you earned points by being the celebrity judge's top 3 picks. There were 8 different celebrity judges from different areas of the scrap industry and my layouts were chosen as the top 3 for 5 out of 8 weeks...I'm quite proud of that, too! (the only other contestant to achieve this won 1st place) You could earn bonus points by completing the bonus challenges and using "secret" items (i.e. handwritten journaling, etc) during a given week. I earned points in this area, too. And lastly, you could earn points by being the site's moderators top picks, but this voting was kept private and only the moderators knew where each contestant stood at the end of the week. I guess this is where I fell short...I guess I should have befriended that mods and sent those boxes of Godiva chocolates after all, huh? LOL! Well anyway, it was fun...you win some and you lose some! HA!
