A winner and a great class!
Your cards were sooooooooo fantastic! Oh my Goodness! If you guys have not checked out everyone's challenge cards, go to the gallery- click here and take a look. Everyone did a fabulous job. I am so glad that I randomly drew a winner because I could not have picked just one.
But since I can only show you one, the winning card by Melody Schwartz is a fabulous one to be able to share! Isn't it just beautiful?

I love the colors and the techniques used. I especially love the white dots! Too pretty!! This card was designed by Melody whose user name at Splitcoaststampers is lacyquilter. Her cards are always to die for anyway and she certainly didn't let us down on this challenge!
Check our her blog for more information about this project and lots of other inspiring cards too!
Congratulations Melody. Send me your snail mail address and let me know if you want the pencils or a free stamp set! And make sure you check out her gorgeous SCS gallery here! (That's what took me so long this morning. First I had to look at every card. Then, I had to clean up the drool. Next, I had to write down all the user names and drew a name, and then I got lost in lacy's gallery! LOL!

On another note...
Here's a question for you? Do you scrapbook? I do... a little. I'd like to do more. I love to put the pictures together and choose the paper and colors and embellishments but the one thing that always holds me back is the journaling. You too? Well, I was just blog surfing and I clicked on Erika Martin's blog. (She is one of the queens of scrapbooking, you know!
) She is running this super cool online class. It's called Journaling 101 and the great thing about it is that you can work at your own pace when it comes to the assignments. It goes from August 25th- November 10th. You have to check out the info on the class and see some of her beautiful examples. (Some of them made me cry and because I could totally feel the emotion and love in her words. That's what I would like to learn to do when it comes to journaling.)
So check it out- Journaling 101 online class with Erika Martin
