AND, the winner of the Paper Mama "Cozy" challenge is...

November 13th - November 18th

This weeks guest judge: 
 Buckeroomama from: Mamahood, Among Other Things...
The challenge: "Cozy"
The challenge will be based around your children. Take or find a photo of your baby (or kid... or puppy... or kitty): Dressed up all cozy. Hanging out by the fire in a blanket. Snuggly. In a Snuggie? ;) Let's see those comfy photos!








Buckeroomama's "Cozy" picks:

• 1) Hi, Baby!

Why Buckeroomama chose this photo: "I kept going back to this photo.  The baby perfectly “scooped” in Dad’s crisscrossed legs, the crop, the guitar pick about to touch the strings, the curve of the guitar, and the slight reflection of light on Dad’s shirt, the pink of her baby pants against the green shirt and the ‘distressed’ denim… wow."

Congrats! Please feel free to grab a "fact: I'm awesome ... #1 winner" button below. Because: you ARE awesome! And, thank you SO much for participating!

• 2) Just the two of us... and a cat

Why Buckeroomama chose this photo: "I love how soft the blanket looks and how the details of the cat really pops and how this furry kiddo seems just so content sleeping on the green blanket."

• 3) Hot Coffee Mama

Why Buckeroomama chose this photo: "She looks so cozy all bundled up... and super sweet, too!  I love that the colors are slightly desaturated… beautiful post-processing."

• 4) And Then She Snapped

Why Buckeroomama chose this photo: "Nothing cozier than being cuddled against mommy reading a book... The dimness of the photo adds to the ‘cozy’ feel of the picture... It’s just mommy and me, in a world of our own."

• 5) The Hutchette Crew

Why Buckeroomama chose this photo: "Who says cozy has to be all bundled up?  I love how her hair is blowing in the wind, those huge shades and how she’s all curled up.  Slightly different interpretation of the theme, but quite fitting nonetheless!"

Congrats to the top 5 winners! Great job, and please feel free to grab the top 5 button below! You're all awesome!
