Oh! My! God!

I can't believe it! OMG! OMG! OMG! I am the last scrapper standing!

Here's the layout I submitted for the last round (the prompt was "pissed off"):

I needle felted the background, the buildings, and the title. The pre-title "I am a New Yorker Of course I am" is made from letter stickers. I used a label maker to detail some of the things that piss me off and then used them as "bricks" on the buildings. Jerry Seinfeld once said that being a New Yorker is about being annoyed. I have to agree. I love this City, but aggravation is built into its very fabric. Thus this layout.

Here are some of the details:

I'm over the moon and excited beyond excited! I truly didn't believe that I had a chance at winning. My jaw dropped to the floor when I read the announcement. I'm still having trouble believing it. Take a look at the amazing creations from all of the other contestants here. So much creativity!

What a great way to go into the weekend! Have a good one!

Photo A Day 2008

  • 06.15.08
    My goal is to take one photo a day, every day for 366 days (it's a leap year). The only rule is that I cannot edit the photos after taking them. No cropping, no playing with the levels. They are what they are. Click on any image to see a larger 4x6 view rather than the small square preview view and to read about what the image is.
