"Grow Your Blog" Give-Away Winner!

A little late on announcing the winner
of my "Grow Your Blog" Party Give-Away...
 
 
...So here we go!
 
I made this snowflake mini-journal
in memory of my mother who loved snowflakes.
She always contended some of her best friends were flakes!
 
The mini-journal is made from
one 12" x 12" piece of patterned scrapbook paper.

 
Two pieces of covered chipboard were added to make the front and back covers.
 
 
Because of how the 12" x 12" piece of paper is cut and folded
it creates a pocket for a tag on either the top or side of each page.


I then added bits of sparkle with rhinestones...
silver embossing powder...
Rock Candy Stickles...
silver trimmed ribbons...
and coordinating papers.

Here is a pic of each page and its tag ---
 







 
Then it was time for the drawing!
Finally!
 
So I printed all the comments and cut them apart ---

 
That's a lot of comments! 
Thank you all who visited my blog and left a comment.  :)

 
Next I folded them and put them in the official drawing bowl---
(No random drawing selector here!)

 
And look whose name I pulled out!

Denise Bryant!

How ironic that the winner is another Denise - huh?
 
I appreciate each and every one of you and your kind comments.
They make me smile!  :)
 
Stay tuned for another give-away soon.  It's a surprise!
 
blessings, denise  :D

    1. Oh, no! I sent you the mini-journal around the middle of February. Have you received it by now? I hope it's not wandering around out there lost somewhere. :(

      Let me know and I will make another one for you. Won't be the snowflake one though - I don't have that particular paper collection anymore. :D
