amazing little works of art… you should have a postcard weekend more often!
So many beautiful postcards, it was definitely hard to pick just three, but force me you did … LOL
And…I love give-aways, thanks Sandi Anderson!!!
Good gravy – it was hard to choose JUST 3, so thank Goodness you let us have more than one choice! They were all incredible!!!!!!! Such talent!!
Love the postcards and the giveaway! As always, thank you.
Haven’t tried this medium yet but possibly in near future. They are all lovely.
Wow!
Amazing selection of art postcards…loved seeing all of the results of this challenge. They are all winners in my book!
It was hard to choose just three! They are all so lovely.
It was hard to choose they were all very nice.
Would make a great swap ;)
You’re not the first person to suggest that. Maybe for our Fall swap.
Michele
Wow! I loved them all! Great job, everyone.
What a wonderful display of fabric postcard art!! They are all really great..it was very hard to decide which ones to vote for.
Nasty site as far as voting. Voted the first day but understood that I could vote again on Sat. and Sunday. Did I miss something? All I find is the results, no where to vote again each day. Maybe I just don’t understand but others that wanted to vote for Grams Daisys found the same problem.
Dee/Wi,
You can only vote once per contest, but this week you could choose up to three winners when you placed your vote. The voting rules/guidelines are posted above the photos.
Cheers,
Michele
