The grand prize cruise will include workshops with each instructor, Make & Take demos, a paper exchange & contest, a private reception, a souvenir tote bag, and a one-year subscription to Scrapbooking & Beyond, Paper Creations, and Creative TECHniques magazines.

First Place Winner

Designed by Kelley Matheny

Kelley Matheny from Alabama is our first prize winner for her page entitled, “Cruisin’ with Royal Caribbean for our 10th Anniversary.” Kelley and her husband found the perfect way to celebrate their special anniversary by taking their first cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Sea. They were pleasantly surprised by all the fabulous activities provided while on the ship as well as at the various ports of call.

Designed by Cheryl Baase

Our second prize winner is Cheryl Baase from Michigan for her page entitled, “BEACH BUMS.” Cheryl took this wonderful, unsuspecting candid photo of her three grandsons at the water's edge on Hawk Island. One can only imagine the expressions on their little faces as they experience the water washing over their feet for the first time.

Designed by Heather Dewaelsche

Heather Dewaelsche from Indiana is our third prize winner for her page entitled, “Ports of call, Carnival Triumph 2006.” Leaving from Miami, her family enjoyed a U.S. Coast Guard escort as they left port to sail around the eastern Caribbean. Coki Beach was the perfect place for the kids to pet a shark after visiting Coral World. What a great summer vacation story to tell at school!
