Help! HELP!

I entered a contest on the local Channel 2 News and I was one of the 3 finalists chosen for a Scrap-Off! The three of us were given the same materials - papers, ribbon, brads, chipboard, etc, even photos, which were of the News team - and we had 30 minutes to complete a 2 page layout. 30 minutes in scraptime is crazy because most of us scrappers take MUCH longer than than to complete a page! We were allowed to bring adhesive, scissors, paper peircer, pens/markers, and a paper cutter. And to top it all off - we were all on air! Not just like 'walking on air', but they did this during the noon newshour and we were all on TV!

So... ready, set, SCRAP! About 5 minutes in to it, the girl next to me ran out of adhesive! Yikes! So I shared mine with her. (Awww, aren't I a good sport?) And she so kindly shared her chalks with me so I could color my plain chipboard. Afterwards, the other girl to the other side of me was so sweet as to bring me and the other girl a TON of scrap stuff from her stash! It was so thoughtful of her! (Yes, we call our 'stuff' our 'STASH'. Every scrapper has a Stash.)

Channel 2 promptly put our layouts online and opened up voting, which will go until August 25th at 12:30pm. You have to register to vote, but it only take a minute (and you can check a box to choose not to receive marketing stuff from them), and... get this... You can vote ONCE PER DAY!

What does this mean? Get busy and get to voting!
(Pretty pretty please with 10 pounds of sugar and a barrell of cherries on top!)

P.S. I'm supposed to go BACK to Channel 2 for another TV appearance (said like I'm famous, hehe) on Wednesday, August 25th, at noon so they can announce the winner!
P.S.S. I reeeaaally needs your votes. I'm trailing behind! And the winner gets a HUGE gift basket full of $500 worth of scrap supplies!
