"i've never won anything before..."

So last night was the Academy Awards for Memory Works. They started an Online Idea Gallery and invited consultants to upload some of their work that they had done using mostly MW products. I knew I had been nominated for the consultant's choice award but I found out I was also 2 other categories for this layout:

.Ally

Best Photography in a Layout
Best Overall Layout (balanced design, striking style, and interesting techniques)
Consultant's Choice Award

Surprise, Surprise! I actually won in the Best Overall Layout category!!

The made me this cute little blinkie:



That I need to figure out how to use on my signature line line on the message board there.

I'm still in shock. I really need to scrap regularly again. I have been so blah lately that I have barely worked on my albums which doesn't make any sense since I'm not working or taking classes right now. I also need to actually submit some of my work. I did a layout for Memory Maker's manly layouts call and for BH's new sketch book but never scanned or sent them in. Not too bright, I know. I think this was the kick that I needed. After vacation, I'm going to scrap more and actually submit what I do
