I Won!

I received news two days ago that I won a cardmaking contest I participated in last August. It was sponsored by Crafting Cottage, a craft store in Corning, New York. I entered a card for the August theme which is "Yipes Stripes!" I immediately came up with an idea of making a Christmas card. I incorporated fabric on my card and used ribbons as my stripes. It took me about three days to finish the card and the envelope.


Here's my card:

The envelope made from recycled paper used as a liner to separate individual Honey Mustard cups. The yard's called Lipstick color I bought at Walmart on sale.

The inside of the card. The cardstock, set of 15 papers, I bought at a bargain price of $.35 at Vietnam Vets.

I'm becoming a great garage sale shopper. I bought about four bags of buttons for $.25 a bag. Michael's sell a bag of buttons for $4.99.
