100 day challenge cards 74-83

Homestretch!! I just want to thank all of you for giving me encouragement and kind words along the way - I know I would never have gotten to this point without my friends believing I could do it. I do try to make each of these cards special, with a few notable rushed exceptions :-) - I want to be able to look back at this project and remember the feelings and emotions that I had each day and what prompted me to create each card.



I did a little art journaling on this card - and I need to remember these words!





Some more of what I have discovered to be my favorite - collage!





I had to commemorate my 10-10-10 birthday somehow, right? LOL!








Had to put my baby on one of these cards - after all, he usually is sitting by my feet when I make them!





More collage!






On my first night of sewing class, we were practicing a straight stitch, and I veered off course once - looked like a road to me, and thus a card was born :-)






This looks MUCH better in person - could not get a good picture.





I drew the simple branch background and then had fun with the hole punch.







Ho hum - more collage.








Using up some scrapbook stuff.



Thanks for looking!!

    Way to go. Do you have something special picked out to treat yourself when you finish. Your cards just keep getting better and better.
