"Get Digi With Us" Digital Scrapbooking Winner

We know that you have all been waiting for this, so we will cut the suspense :-) Each entry was fabulous! It was extremely hard to choose. But in the end, we know we had to pick that one lucky winner!

The bookoto team and our special guest host, Renee Pearson have chosen the winning LO.

Renee announces:
"I have looked at the contest entries. They’re all so terrific it was hard to make a choice! :D But we have chosen: Truly Amazed by Marites Tirol! Hugs, Renee"

Designer: Marites "Teys" Tirol

Marites says of her subject: "I love this photo of my little girl because I never want her to lose that sense of awe and wonder even when she grows older. I hope that she will always be amazed at everything she experiences and that she will not take even the everyday ordinary things for granted. "

"I drew my inspiration from the paper layouts of the Scrapbook Exchange ladies and tried to duplicate the "cutting with an X-acto knife" technique by extracting the design from the Tinkering Ink Victoria paper and then I layered it on top of the bg paper and the photo and applied shadows. I then applied glitter styles to the edges to simulate applying glitter IRL to the cutout."
