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!!
