1 - I will NOT vote in this challenge. (it does not seem right to me)
2 - I will print an album that includes ALL of the pages posted in this challenge. I will include the names of the scrapers on their pages. I will present the album on behalf of ALL participants. I WELCOME any input about journaling, cover page and editing.
3 - I will make Owner's Choice (I don't want to, but I guess it's a rule) on the LAST day of the challenge. The criteria for my choice will be in the descending order:
1 - Message
2 - Aesthetics
3 - Design dogma

After a long and painful deliberation, I finally made a decision about the ‘owner’s choice’ in our challenge. I must tell you two things:
1-I love you all for such a wonderful contribution to our album. I have never seen so many beautiful, excellent and touching creations in one place. Your Heart, your Art and your Craft say it all! Kate is blessed with friends like you.
2-I hate you for putting me through one of the most difficult moments in my life: How to choose ONE page out of more than two dozen of exceptionally thoughtful, extraordinary beautiful and masterly crafted pages! But I HAD to do it and this is the result:

It took me about an hour passing through (apart of the present first and second place, thanks for helping me there with your votes) to choose top five based on my three criteria.
Here they are in alphabetical order:
‘A wonderful friend from Asia’ by Snug
‘Faces In A Crowd’ by handyman20002
‘Gypsykate – The Artist’ by shawtyp
‘Our Gypsy’ by Lisadee and
‘Our Own Gypsy KATE!!!’ by PamelaROSE
Now you see the problem I was facing! I even tried to use matrix maths to make ‘an impartial and scientific’ decision! What a rubbish! How can you apply maths to the beauty?!? At the end of the day, I choose ‘A wonderful friend from Asia’ by Snug. And here is why:

1- Message - The essence of all our messages. Beautiful journal.
2- Art - Brilliant use of colour and light. One light source. Two colours. Fantastic!
3- Craft - Simple, but perfect design, strong, but stylish frame, beautiful and subtle embellishments… Everything is in its place. Everything is perfect.
Other pages were very close, but this one has an additional advantage, it is ideal page to appear in the cutout on the cover of the album.
