3rd Prize at the Rubber Stamp Convention

Hello Bloggers!

I won 3rd prize at the Albuquerque Rubber Stamp Convention!  I'd never entered a card before, so when I saw that one of the categories was "You're a Classic" ..... I thought I'd enter my card for fun.  Barely got it mailed in on time, since it was a last minute decision.  Glad I did now.  3rd prize was $50.00 to spend at any of the vendor booths.  

The first photo is the actual card that won.  They have to be A2 size, and I'm used to making the bigger A7 size.  I apologize for the photo, but all the contest cards were covered in a huge sheet of plastic, hence the glare.  I was in such a rush to mail the card off, I failed to take a photo of it.  Two friends came to my rescue.  I'm not sure if Danne or Ken took this photo as I received two photos of the card.  So....thank you both for taking the photos!  :o)

The second photo is a card I made for someone who ordered a card when she saw the one that won.  I made the special order in the A7 size.  I was flattered and humbled by the special order as the request came from a professional card maker who makes the most beautiful cards I've ever seen.  Thanks, Danne!

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll be back later with something new.

THE ESSENCE OF LOVE IS KINDNESS......

Hello Friends,


A quick weekend post.  I made this card in a swap. The original design is by my friend, Liane.  :o)
  I love the red tulips wrapped in printed paper with little hearts.  The background paper is also printed paper.  A black and white twine is tied around the image.  Colored with Copic markers.  The card base is black.  Makes a really cool card.

I've managed to catch two colds in less than 

2-1/2months, so I've been slow blogging.  There's some kind of yuck going around that just won't let go.  Getting better now.

Thanks for stopping by the blog.  I'll be back later with something new.  Have a good weekend.

Hugs, Geri
