My sister encouraged me to enter some of my cards in the St. Mary’s County Fair. I thought it might be fun to see how I could do. Our Fair only had one category for rubber stamping so I chose a card I think was good and entered it. I won a first place ribbon! I was so excited I decided to try Calvert County Fair.

I must admit I am happy with how it turned out. What do…
I got this cute image in an image swap and just had to use it. I thought my grass paper would go perfect. Once I had my layout I wasn’t sure where to go from there. All of a sudden it hit me that a row of balls down the side would be good. I wasn’t sure if it needed something else or not so I added some brads. It would be perfect if I…
