100 Winners!

Read below for a complete list of the 100 winners announced last week in the Most Influential Scrapbooker Awards Blog Tour! Each individual blogger announced her list of 10 winners on her blog, but we also compiled the full list for you to see here!

If you see your name below, and you haven't already contacted the owner of the blog or been contacted yourself, please send an email to rachel@ellapublishing.com with as much information as you can include for Rachel to verify that you're a winner. (Include your name, email, physical address, the text of the comment you left, and the name of the blog you were a winner from.) She'll know what to do!

If you are a winner, we at Ella are randomly assigning prizes to winners and emailing or mailing you your prize. Each blogger gave away one prize from herself and one each from everyone else, so if your name is on the noellhyman.com winner list (for example), you may have won something from any one of the 10 blog tour participants!

As you can see, each blogger picked winners in her own way, asking for different criteria for entering. Here are the winners!

48 Hannah: I would most like to learn how to make (rather than use) the basics in PSE ~ rounded corners
on clipping masks, create shaped clipping masks, alter colors on patterns, etc
84 Sue Williams: Well deserved mention on this list Renee! I'd like to learn more about 'text paths'
152 Llsmithx4: I want to learn how and when to use drop shadows. Congrats on the well-deserved win!
173 Kmsjohnson: Congratulations! I have just started dipping my toes into digital, so there are so many skills I am interested. Learning how to work with digital brushes and frames are two that come to mind immediately.
237 Susan: Well, I would love to break out of the templates, ya know?
208 Barbara: I'd love to learn how to create my own digital templates! That and creating and using brushes. And a ton more I'm sure....
332 just kim: I believe a really basic beginning 101 masking class would be best for me. I have all the goodies but none of the skills
338 Jillld: I would like to learn the basics because I am still a beginner. I just want to make one layout that I really like without throwing up my hands in frustration.
428 Sue: what digital skill would you most like to learn? hmm.. that's a hard one, there are so many...maybe how to make the background more blurred and sharpening the object that i want in focus?
542 Jamiesolorio: Congrats to you, I have just recently your site....and I have to say I am in LOVE! I would like to learn how to use photoshop actions in Elements. I am pretty sure it can be done, but not too sure how to do it!

One of my favorite pages is for the birth of my granddaughter. The biggest picture is of her and her mom seeing each other for the first time. Smaller pictures are of my son holding her up for us to see and of her getting weighed and measured in the nursery. The last picture is her asleep in that little striped hospital cap. What a lovely day to capture! Also, I finally get to use pink flowers after having three sons!!! Congrats Shimelle! I love your classes.
Stef Says: 23 July 2010, 17:36
Congratulations on your well-deserved nomination – what an honor! One of my favorite layouts is an older one I did of my first daughter with her first pigtails – she was younger then than my third daughter is now, but I remember thinking how big she was. And she’s laying on my dog that has since passed away, so it brings an extra smile to my face to look at it.
Manda Says: 24 July 2010, 00:41
Congrats to you!! A page I recently scrapped included my whole family, husband and two kiddos…summer time fun!
Kimber-Leigh Says: 23 July 2010, 14:53
i recently finished a page that has a very special picture on it…sometimes i am so hesitant to scrap those pictures since i want the layout to be just as perfect and special. i was very pleased with how this one turned out :) thanks for the chance to win…and congrats for the well-deserved honor!
Karen S Says: 23 July 2010, 15:36
Congrats! Recently I made a page with no photos. It is titled “No, Thank you!” and has a place for all of us in this family to write down the things in life we’d rather do without. I decorated with a cute grasshopper because my husband is not a fan of them. At all. :)
Dora Says: 23 July 2010, 22:18
Hiya! Looking forward to LSNED in September – my very first online class ever! The last layout I made, on Tuesday, was of my kids at the state fair last year. There were some shots of my son, then 14 months old, climbing the animal pens to try to get closer that we thought were pretty funny! Since the fair comes up again in a few weeks, I thought it would get me in the mood. HERE are the photos– I don’t have my camera here to photograph the pages I made. My husband was recently sent to the US Gulf Coast with the Coast Guard to work on the oil spill clean up, so we (my 3 babies and I) moved in with Mom until he returns. I don’t have my regular set up here, so I am just trying to make do! Congrats on your prize – you have a unique voice and style. Keep up the good work! Dora :)
Antoinette Says: 23 July 2010, 20:12
Hey there, I am a student in your current “LYP” class and absolutely adore it :-) Congrats and wishing you many more successful years influencing us! The most recent page I made was with journaling spots for my husband to list his Top 5 fav songs he’s been listening to this year :-) What a fun way to get him involved don’t you think?

So nice to “meet” you Shimelle. I’ve been hearing about you for a long time, but never really explored your site. I can’t wait to find out more about you! One of my favorite pages is this It’s one of the first pages I did when I started scrapping. And I still love it!
Kristin O. Says: 23 July 2010, 17:06
Yahoo for you!! My favorite page is one I did recently but the photo is years old. It is a photo of my two big boys as very little boys reading a Spiderman book together. Just thinking about those boys and that book makes me feel all mushy inside!!
Bonnie Says: 24 July 2010, 01:17
Congratulations !!! So well deserved Shimelle. I have loved taking your classes, they make us think, and that’s a good thing !!! My favourite page right now is that where I made a comparsion of my daughter and her Great-Grandma.

ONE.
Kristi B says: July 23, 2010 at 4:56 pm

I would win the award for oldest person to enjoy coloring. I have always loved to color. My kids (ages 10 & 4) color almost every night before bed. I love coloring books, school supplies & new markers. It isn’t a perfect picture though. Sometimes we color out of the lines – it is just the time to sit & be at peace & fill the blank space while hanging out with my kids.
TWO.
Bernice J says: July 23, 2010 at 2:39 pm

I would like to get an award for “Best Worker in the Background” award. I am one of those detail people that are in the background making things happen, and making the head honcho look good. I don’t want to get kudos for what I do, I know God sees what I do and why I do it.
THREE.
Amanda M. says: July 23, 2010 at 7:19 am

I would love to be influential for being a good wife, friend, and family member. Truly. I don’t want professional awards. I want personal ones. Little tiny ones that are given because they meant something to my family. “Best chocolate chip cookie maker”, Amanda. “Best card giver” Amanda. Thanks for the chance to win.
FOUR.
Karilyn A. says: July 23, 2010 at 7:28 am

I would like to win an award for using the gifts that God has given me to the best of my abilities. I think all to often in life we try to be someone or something we are not. We need to just keep trying to do our best, in our own little lives, and just know that by doing that, that we are making a difference.
FIVE.
sharolyn says: July 23, 2010 at 10:12 am

Congratulations on your award! I’m so glad I found your blog. If I was to win an award I would want it to be for being the best version of myself. For truely being the person that God created me to be…something I struggle with everyday…wish me luck!
SIX.
CJ says: July 23, 2010 at 9:37 am

Well, as someone who has taken several classes at BPS and currently taking Claudine’s class…yahoooo to you that you have received this award because what you have created in the scrapping world has been amazingly awesome! So, congrats to you!!! As for what I would want an award for…it would be for consistently offering creative opportunities for expression and healing to the clients I work with as an Expressive Arts Therapist and Addiction Specialist. I work with women who are pregnant and/or mothers who are suffering with addiction issues, as well as coming from some of the most heart breaking backgrounds one can imagine exists in our sometimes twisted society. Yup, that’s what my influence is on a daily basis…helping them find their voices and recovery through the rediscovery of their creative souls.
SEVEN.
JoLynn says: July 23, 2010 at 5:23 pm

I would like to win an award for being the kind of teacher who never, ever, gives up on students. That and for sticking with my man as long as I have. (heh heh)
EIGHT.
Maryellen says: July 23, 2010 at 4:38 pm

I’d like to be remembered for a life of integrity. For me, that means being true to myself, my beliefs/values and and in my relationships with others. I strive for that and if I can reach and maintain that lofty goal I have to believe that at least some of it can fub off on the people I come into contact with and most of all my children.
NINE.
Kelly says: July 23, 2010 at 12:35 pm

I think if I were to receive a reward I would want it to be for being a good woman. For most of my life, I have had thoughts about being great, being known, etc. When my grandma passed away at the beginning of the year, my desire changed. Her life changed my life. She never won any award, no one really knew her outside of her community..but when I saw the amount of
people her life touched by her kindness and acts of goodness, I wanted to be like her.
TEN.
Wendy says: July 23, 2010 at 3:13 pm

If I were to receive an award, it would have to be for being a great stay at home mom. It’s a much harder job than I ever imagined, and I would love to know that all of my hard work has been noticed! Thanks for the chance to win!

THE END.
