I checked the Hero Arts Blog this morning as usual (always my first stop). Imagine my surprise when I saw MY card listed as an Honorable Mention for the Vacation Challenge!

Thanks so much, Hero Arts! Here's what they said about my vacation card:

With so many wonderful creations, we also wanted to hand out some Honorable Mentions.

The first one goes to dustypenny (aka Joy) for her wonderful “postcard” type card. This would be great to send back to your friends while vacationing. Love the simple elegance.

I also want to thank all the wonderfully talented and kind people on the Hero Arts Flickr Group! I'm so glad I found you!

BIG congrats to all the other winners, too! I'm honored to be in your company.

You made my day, Hero Arts! Thanks again!
