Rick and I just got back from the NJ State Fairgrounds where I looked to see if I got a ribbon for any of my three cards. What a surprise to see that all three took first class in each category!
Best of all, there was an additional "Special Award" ribbon for my Christmas Distress card in the Professional category--I could hardly believe it!
This was the first year I had to compete on the "professional" level (for teaching classes,) so I wasn't too sure how my cards would stack up against other professionals.
Several thanks are in order. First, to Susan Raihala of Simplicity for her advice on moving the greeting further down on the Christmas card for better balance. I'm sure that helped sway the judges!
Second, to Dawn Lusk for her birdseed shaker card that I CASEd HERE (Feb. 1 post,) which proves she's a winner too!
Finally, to Our Daily Bread Designs and Flourishes for making such beautiful stamps to use. Winners all!

Yippeeee for YOU! That's so great that your cards were so honored. State fairs are wonderful! We went to ours in MO last summer. . . and I was especially interested in the 4-H section. When I was a kiddo, I entered a, from scratch, angel food cake in the st. fair (from my 4-H Club)...and I received a blue ribbon on it!!! I think I still have that ribbon in a scrap book I made when I was a kid.
Your summer seems to be filled with fun.....loved the fellows with the critters on their hats. Bet the kids loved em, too!
Keep cool...and thanks for your suggestions!! Dana
