One year ago today Creating Keepsakes announced the 2007 HOF winners. Even though days had passed since Lisa called, I still didn’t quite believe that I had won until the list went up on the CK site. I entered solely to see if I could complete the assignments and package up my entry. I thought that was an accomplishment in and of itself. Everyone should print out their layouts in 5×5 – they look so cute!! I never (truly!) believed for one minute that I would win…I thought getting an honorable mention would be pretty amazing. I’ve read CK for years and winning a spot was not something I ever aspired to – that was for the scrapping super-stars like AliE and CathyZ. Not me. But never say never – you can read my call story here. Just promise me you won’t look at my headshot (yuck!) or listen to the call -I do not sound that squeaky in real life, although it will give you an idea of how unexpected the call was — all I could say was “I’m in shock”, oh and my kids would not stop yakking in the background.
Here’s a few of my favorite layouts from my entry:
The layouts do look cute shrunk down like that, don’t they? 🙂 So glad I got to share this experience with you!
Oh (((Paula))) Congratulations to you my dear friend. What a year! What an accomplishment! I’m just so proud of you. LOVE every page you made. huge hugs on this special day (or day after :P) xo, me
I am new to digital scrapbooking and snagged your blog from Life @ the Cottage. I just read about printing pages @ 5X5. I have created all my pages in Photoshop Elements 6 @ 12X12. Can I still print 5X5 and where do you suggest they be printed from? Do you put your layouts in books? or do you print single pages? Thanks for your help.

So cool seeing those layout entries — I sooo love your work Paula.
Your headshot is adorable. You know, you look just like dh’s cousin, Martha. Everytime I see your pic, I think, there’s sweet Martha!
