No time for stampin or kwiltin this week it's the week of the Montgomery County Fair. That means I'm real busy between volunteering with 4-H and helping out in the fair office. I did get a few things entered into the fair last week and did pretty well in the ribbon department. I entered 8 things between Home Arts and Arts & Crafts and all 8 received ribbons. My card that I entered in Arts & Crafts took 3rd place. It was the first card I posted here on my blog. If anyone reads this and is interested you can see it by going to my June archives. It is the Faith Card. I also received a 2nd place ribbon for a framed picture I stamped. Pretty much everything else was a sewn item. It's nice to know that ones work merits someone elses praise and recognition.

Congratulations on your show successes, Suzanne! I remember your faith card. I thought it was lovely when I first saw it and I am not surprised it won a prize.
We just had our show circuit here too and I saw some lonely little cards on display - I didn't even think about entering any, since I just started stamping this year. Next year I think I will enter some - it would be fun, I think. I just have to be strong and keep a few of the ones i make. It takes me awhile ot make one, and then I give them all away! Lol!
I made a card tonight using the 10 minute collage technique I found at http://www.stampingnetwork.com/2005/10minutecollage.htm It was fun and I now have a few bits I can make some other cards with, when it is not midnight (like now).
Till next time :-)
Hi Suzanne. Hey, I remember those lovely, long summers of my youth too. Where did they go?? I hope you are keeping up with the pace of things over your way. Thanks for your nice comments about my cards. I made the bg for the kangaroo card by drawing the curves with water colour pencils on cardstock, then shading them with same and painting/blending the colours with a brush and water. I outlined some of the places I thought the sun would touch with gel pens - copper and gold.
Will check back with you again soon :-)
Hi -- I didn't realize that we could enter cards at the fair! Not that I want to compete with you or anything . . .
We are actually usually not here during the fair . . . we are at Deep Creek during that time and get to go to the Garrett County Fair. But Summer 2007, we will be here . . . so maybe I'll have to figure out how to enter one of my cards! I'm off to check out your award winning card!
