I love Hero Arts. They chose my layered snowman tag as the winner of the digital category for last week's Trimmings Challenge. Thanks so much, Hero Arts! It was a lot of fun to make this tag!

Long day today. Drove to Louisville to go to a flea market with my Dad. Got a ton of vintage stuff including buttons, postcards, sheet music, recipe books, etc. Someday they will make it into my cards or other projects. Too bad we have to sleep or else I'd have lots more time to craft!

Hugs,

I checked the Hero Arts Blog this morning and saw that my card was listed as the winner of the Digital category for the Mail It Challenge!



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

Dustypenny (aka Joy) wins our Digital category this week. I am always in love with pink and green combos…and those tulips! Many years ago I sketched those and they became a rubber stamp. NOW they are digital, so I have to learn how to use them!!! Also love the stitching…like magic with no sewing machine!!

Thanks again, Hero Arts! And BIG congrats to the other winners!

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!
