2010 Artiasn Award Winners Blog Hop Project #1

Thank you so much for visiting the 2010 Artisan Award Winner’s blog hop. You should have come from Elizabeth Price’s blog. I am so honored to be one of this years winners and I am thrilled to share with you the projects that I made and submitted for this years contest. I hope you enjoy them and please feel free to ask any questions.

Please leave a comment as I will be drawing for a free admission to my on line class for each week of our blog hop. So visit each day and leave a comment to increase your chances of winning. Good Luck! I hope you will all join in the fun.

Here is my first card. I love the little details on this card like the braded ribbon and the stitching around the outer layer. I decided that I wanted to do something a little different with the ribbon. I was twisting it and trying all kinds of things. Then all of a sudden it hit me. “What about braiding it?” It was so simple but I love the look. Trust me if you saw the original sketch I made for this card you wouldn’t even recognize it.

The next artisan on our hop is Angela Timms. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
