MY SCRAPBOOK PAGE: A GRAND PRIZE WINNER
June 17, 2006
Sometimes we doubt our talents, and we fear that our works would be criticized, but today I've learned to believe in myself and my creativity.
I wasn't supposed to continue joining the SCRAP-A-PAGE: Scrapbooking Contest by All About Scrapbooking, but last night my friends convinced me to join. Good thing! Because I've bagged the GRAND PRIZE.
I started planning my layout when I woke up this morning. After preparing all the materials, I headed to Robinson's Place Ermita to register for the contest. At first I was very timid to approach the organizers. As I was about to leave the venue, I've realized that I would regret this day if I won't join the contest. So I ended up signing for the Adult Division as Contestant # 6.
It started with a basic workshop at 1:30PM. After the presentation the contest proper begun. The contestants for the SCRAP-A-PAGE competition were given 1 hour to complete their scrapbook page.
I tried so hard to control my nervousness, 'cause I wouldn't be able to work on my page skillfully if my hands were shaking. Though it was time-pressured, I managed to complete my page on time.
After submitting our entry, we've waited for the announcement of winners. I wasn't expecting to win, because the matting of my focal point was too light, and I know that the focal point is very important in a scrapbook page.
When the host were announcing the winners for the adult division, I was praying to win even just the consulation prize. When the 3rd and 2nd place winner were announced, I know for myself that it's over. At the back of my mind, it's impossible for me to win the first prize, but I was wrong. When my name was called for the grand prize, I was totally shocked.
Here's the picture of the scrapbook page I've made. The original page was kept by All About Scrapbooking as their property.
