Artisan Award reject/non-winner/etc - So Happy for You

So, I told you a little while ago that calls had been made for the 2010 Artisan Award ... and I didn't get a call sooooooooooo Diana -- you get to eat your shirt, and Brandi - you get to eat your crop-a-dile ... LOL :) I love what I do and how my creativity ends up being expressed ... evidently it's not a style that SU is into ... but, anyways ... moving on, I DO get to show my fabulous artwork, LOL :)


When the easel cards were all the rage (thanks to a fab tutorial on SplitCoast), I had made this one first before the other two that I have since made (see here and here)! I kept the colours simple and pretty -- perfect for a baby girl -- and used my favorite baby stamp set - Nursery Necessities. Over all, a simply pretty card that any new parents would love to receive, eh?!

Julie and I are both posting our Artisan Award non-winning projects on the same days, so stop by her blog to see what she entered!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a great day! Come back tomorrow to see the next Colour Q challenge!

Hi Renee, you would be my favourite SU! Demo in Nth America. I love your style and I admire card after card. I live in Australia so may never get to meet you but be encouraged. SU! don't always make good decisions. Keep up your fantastic work. Kindest regards & best wishes for all that you do. Kim Tonnet, Sydney Australia.
