May VSN Puddle Jumper Winner

Okay. So we all know that I did the VSN because Lydia FORCED me to, right? Right! ;) I really also did it because my mojo had all but disappeared. Soooo not good. (For anyone who says they need mojo? I can identify in ways that you just will never understand and will say prayers to the mojo gods on your behalf.)

Anyway, when I did the VSN I kinda trudged along and did the best I could. Some things I really liked how they ultimately turned out (which you may have seen in earlier posts) and some I thought were just, well, meh. What I have learned is that beauty really IS in the eye of the beholder. Really!!!

Two of the cards I felt the most "meh" about were two that seemed to leave the biggest impression somehow. One was the CAS (clean and simple) card that got picked for a CAS Weekly Favorite. Total shocker. The other was this card:



It was for the watercolor challenge and to use brown. I didn't use brown (other than a little tea dye ink) in my image just a lot of brown in the paper and ribbon. Actually, it's a fairly straight forward card. And I thought my water-coloring was awful! My hands shook so bad...I colored outside the lines. I was embarrassed to post it. But, I did it anyway.

Well.

It got picked as one of the WINNERS, yes, WINNERS!! for the May VSN (Virtual Stamp Night). The card is considered a "Big Puddle Jumper Winner". Still not sure what that means, but I'm very honored and excited.

Thanks to all of you who have been kind enough to look at all these posts recently, to comment, and be so supportive. I cannot possibly thank you enough!!

Hope you all have an AMAAAAZING weekend. Hugs to you all!


All my best,
