I'm still in shock...

Last night i heart faces posted the winners of the photo contest from this week. I love my entry but I really didn't think it would be acknowledged by any of the judges as a top picture. I mean, the entries are AMAZING, like REALLY REALLY AMAZING! Because there were so many entries they changed it up a bit this week. Originally, the judges, there were 18 of them, were supposed to just post their one pick from the week. Well, instead they decided each of them can post their top 5 photos instead. Anyways, 2 of the judges picked my photo as one of their top 5 entries. I really can't believe it, like really really can't believe it. Anyways, I want to thank i heart faces for having such a great birthday bash and thank the judges for acknowledging my entry. It was so much fun and I look forward to entering more photos.
Here's the pic I entered.

Also, I got my Real World Color template and color swatch yesterday for the Design Your Life class. It was a fun urban color inspiration and I actually really like the page I made. The colors were gray, white, lime green and red. I used papers from a few different kits. The gray paper came from Outta This World by Traci Reed and Dani Modgstad (a retired kit), the white paper came from His Playroom by Traci Reed, the green and red papers came from Retro Revival a The Digi Dares collab, and the "hair" alpha was paintity doo dah by Traci Reed. The fonts were traveling typewriter and my personal handwriting done by Darcy Baldwin (btw, Darcy has her custom fonts on sale this week).
Here's my page and the journaling reads:
I have a love/hate relationship with my hair. I like it long but it’s so heavy & gives me a headache. I like it really short too because I hate sweaty hair on my neck during the summer. I think my favorite is the chin length inverted bob. I get that cut all the time though and I’m tired of the same ole’ thing. I want a change but nothing really makes me happy. I tried the perm in the 80’s, that was a joke, *snort*. I’ve tried the asymmetrical bob and well, that just doesn’t look right on me. I guess I’ll end up getting the inverted bob again... For the record, I had this cut long before Kate Gosselin, we’re talking high school senior photo. That would be since the early 90’s. Yikes!
