Hooray For The Winners

As I mentioned in my last post, I volunteered to make cards for my friend Yoda to send to the winning choruses and quartets from our recent regional competition. As usual, my first stop was Tuesday Morning Sketches. I stared at this weeks design (196) for a few minutes, then went looking for an image. 

Originally, I was thinking of a congratulations stamp along the bottom, but since the image I decided upon already has a sentiment, I had to use something else. Sweet Adelines are all about the bling (after the singing, of course), so rhinestones were the obvious choice. Pink in this case (believe it or not).

A scan of the cards have been sent to Yoda for approval. If, for whatever reason, she does not like them, I will be back with my next design.

Autumn Leaves in Winter

It has been a long time since I have done a card swap, but I promised myself that I would not sign up until the cards were actually finished. This week I discovered that one of my favorite hostesses had opened a new Forest swap, due in July. Plenty of time, but my goal was to be the first to arrive.

This theme is 'Seasons in the Forest'. I looked through my nature stamps and found the perfect one. I then CASE'd a card from a long ago class at my LSS (What can I say, I was rusty)

Princess A came in as I was finishing to tell me, "You do realize it is not Autumn, right?" Newly minted fourteen-year-olds are ever so helpful

Without further ado, here is my Seasons of the Forest card:

I sent it to the Post Office with Main Squeeze and got confirmation from that it was on its way before I sent a PM to Jeanette to tell her my cards were in the mail, so I needed to sign up for a spot.
