***Week #1 Challenge Results***

[Suzwa]

I know you have all been waiting for this, so here are this week's results.

Celebrity Judge Paula Wessels of Big Picture Scrapbooking said the following:

"First, let me start out by saying that I LOVED that so many people participated in this weeks challenge - there were so many unique ideas! My top three picks were chosen because each scrapbooker looked beyond the challenge. They connected to their photos and shared defining moments or meaningful memories. Great job!!!"

"Ok this was hard! But my favorites are:

1. Scrappinhero-hey you
2. Hughesd-kiss (with dogs)
3. Doulanana-oprah

Have them contact me to receive their gift certificate."

Thanks!
Paula

We want to thank Paula for agreeing to be our first celebrity judge. We really appreciate her joining us for Challenge #1. If you haven't already, go check out BPS. They have a lot of great online classes and there are a few free ones.

Paula has one more surprise for us up her sleeve that we will announce in the next few days, so be watching for that.

REMEMBER -- The celebrity judge's picks got points, but there were also points given to participants based on the 6 MOD judges' top 3 favorites for this week along with this week's secret supply which was...WHITE OUT! So there are quite a few of you that currently have points. Only the celebrity judge's pick are announced each week. We will NOT be announcing anyone's point standings during the contest. You will not know who the winners are of the whole challenge until the very end, so keep up the good work ladies! We're keeping you on your toes! lol
