And who is their choice during the Elimination Round?



Cabbie "was very impressed with the contrasting color combination as well as the focal sun embellishment which served as a guide to visual impact. To link it with the ad inspiration, I see highlighted points which are essential to a good layout. One is the simplicity and coherence which honey delightfully convinced my eyes through her use of simple accents. Her journaling in strips balanced the lettered-all-over background too. Her placement of pictures created a wave-like direction signifying good blending with the whole layout. Not only is the layout's potential very attractive but the unification of elements in conjunction with the ad says it all."

According to Cookie, "I just love everything about this page! the colors, the photos and how this page was inspired by the ads!!! Honey was able to execute very well all the details of this fun page. My eyes were immediately drawn to her entry upon opening the gallery and I was even more impressed when i gave it a close look! It contains the right amount of embellies and techniques needed to make a page shine. "

Congratulations Honey!
