Yay, it's WINNER time! I got so many entries, it was hard to pick a winner, and I just had to share a few of my faves with you first.
Honorable Mention: This one is by
Barbara Holland. I love it because the dog tag seems to be inscripted with my logo--it looks like she actually had it cut into the tag!! If this is a Photoshop effect, I have no idea how she did it. Awesome!
Honorable Mention:
Dede Smith: Great mood and atmosphere! What better to watch on Christmas eve than a beautiful glowing tree and my logo?
Honorable Mention:
Emily Clark--Emily, you almost got me with this cutie! I love the processing and the sentiment, she's absolutely delicious!
Honorable Mention: Joyce Dy! This obsessive-compulsive gem reminds me of my new favorite vice: the show Hoarders. This house looks clean, but WOW, that's a lot of ornaments and stuffed animals. This photo tells a story!
Joyce says:
This is my co-worker's mom who obviously loves Christmas. Growing up they didn't have much. Now, this is one of TWO Christmas trees at her house. She starts decorating before Thanksgiving. She has a garage full of paraphernalia and to me she captures true holiday spirit, borderline obsession. :) How can anyone resist that smile?!
Honorable Mention:
Shutter Sam!! Sam sent us in this FANTASTIC, retro, polaroid and I absolutely love it. That's Sam and her son, her daughter took the photo. I also love the earring Sam :)
AND THE WINNER IS....
Mary Beth Blankenship!!! This photo was chosen because it incorporated everything I was looking for in a fun, creative way. Great job, Mary Beth, email me your address so I can have your new INSTAX shipped!

The photo was taken by me, Mary-Beth, and I am also the subject!:)
I like to take self portraits for fun sometimes, as models are hard to come by.
The camera is the Polaroid One Step Land Camera SX 70 with rainbow stripe.
I love collecting vintage polaroid cameras, and get so excited when I come by one at a thrift shop. The only problem is they are usually only used for my viewing pleasure, as the film is SO hard to come by. That's why I would LOVE to win the instax camera, so I could purchase film more easily and shoot with the little thing 'til my heart's content!:)
