OWOH giveaway prizes

I made these mini chipboard journals and matching bookmarks for the 2nd and 3rd place winners of my OWOH giveaway. The scans came out wonky because of the rings but I can asure you that they're much prettier in person.

Wednesday Stamper--Asia

I have mixed feelings about this piece...I like the collage part but I'm not especially satisfied with the stamping part. Maybe it's the colors I used for the images. They just don't jive with the overall scheme of the piece. Feh. I made this while I was at work and only have limted art supplies with me, plus I don't do a lot of stamping, even though I have TONS. Ah well, maybe doing the Wedneday Stamper challenges will improve my skills in this area.

One World~One Heart

I am absolutely STUNNED by the response I've gotten for my giveaway. I honestly thought I would only have a few people wanting the chance at winning my collage and I am nearing the 50 response mark! If I managed to get 100 comments for my giveaway, I will add a second prize, either something I have already made or something totally new. I'll have more of an idea what that might be this weekend. Until then, spread the word!

In other OWOH news, I have become totally confuzzled by the number of blogs I have visited. If you left a comment about my OWOH giveaway, and I visited your blog and left a message asking you to check out my blog, many apologies! I just can't keep everyone's blog straight. *lol* It really has been an inspiring journey through the many blogs involved in this event and I can't begin to say how much I've enjoyed the talent and diversity of the artists. Awesome awesome awesome!!!

Here's to forging new friendships!!

Skinny Saturday--Travel

I mounted the skinny page onto a 6x6 background because the wheels hanging off the skinny page looked funny, hence anchoring it onto a bigger background.

Sunday's Daily Art/Gothic Arch Sunday Challenge--Purple

I actually managed to make the challenge for Sunday on Sunday but as usual, it took me a few days to get it scanned and posted. Ah well.
