Have you seen the announcement on the Paper Crafts blog? Thank you so much, Paper Crafts magazine! I’m incredibly honoured!
When I received the email on Friday afternoon telling me that I was a 2013 Stamping Royalty winner, I read it several times to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. Then I started jumping up and down, clapping my hands like a fool. The only person I could tell was my son. He said he wanted a crown, too, so I promised him that I’d make him a king’s crown and photograph us in our crowns together. LOL! Immediately following that, I Skyped my husband at work and told him that I won in big capital letters. He was very proud and knew how much this meant to me, especially after my personal struggles last year. This was the third year I had entered this contest and I’m so happy that this dream has come true.

I made this card using Lawn Fawn stamps and dies to express my heartfelt gratitude to family and friends who have supported me from the beginning. I couldn’t have made it this far without all of you. Thank you!
