September 1 -- there are signs of Fall and signs of kids returning to school. There are also signs that there is a new challenge at All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook Challenge. It starts today and runs the month of September. The theme is 'Free for All' (Anything Goes).
I have a young friend that I have been pen pals with for many years. It all began when I was going through cancer and her grandmother (a friend of mine), thought it would be a good experience for her to send me some encouragement and cute artwork. Well, 8 years later, we're still writing each other! She is a very special young woman who should have dumped this old lady long ago! One of her passions is horses. She shows themselves, takes riding lessons, spends as much time with them as she can, and probably loves her horses more than most people. I made this card for her using an old, but very appropriate, All Dressed Up image called, First Prize:
I colored First Prize with Copic markers. I cut the image out and backed it with dies from LDRS Creative. The papers are part of a nautical paper pack from Pink & Main, The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions. The star sequins I used to embellish the card are from my stash.
I hope you can join us this month for our Free For All challenge in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook Group. I'd love to see what you make!
