If you have arrived here from Nebraska and the wonderful blog of my fellow designer team member, Judy Rozemar at http://jarfullofjoy.blogspot.com/
then you are in the right place.
Important things first: The Grand Prize is a stamp set of the winner's choice AND as you visit each designer's blog, she will not only tell you about her cards, but donate a product toward the grand prize! Some of the products are brand new - not even on the website yet! So the Grand Prize will consist of the stamp set PLUS 13 products! A lucky second winner will win a stamp set of her choice!
The card I have chosen to display for a fathers day celebration, is using the plate #285 1900 Cars.
You see, my father is actually 92 and can remember cars very similar to these, and this is the one that will be going in the mail to him!
Now what little gift have I found to donate, and for inclusion in the BIG prize?
Well I believe, it is a very special word stamp, that has a beautiful saying, and one that I can use often.
I use it when I send cards to my American friends. It is also just perfect to use for sending card to the American troops................something I have been doing for years.
This is what it says,
The STRENGTH of AMERICA is not only in the BEAUTY of its MAJESTIC LANDSCAPE,
but in the HEART and SOUL of her PEOPLE.
Please do be kind enough to leave me a comment before you leave my blog here in England, and then hop back over the pond to visit the inspirational blog of Donna Maligno. You will find her beautiful creations here at http://ciaobellainspirations.blogspot.com/

Hi Joan. I love the wonderful artwork you did using the cars. You are always coming up with very unique and wonderful designs. Thanks for the inspiration always.
Joan ... more of your totally amazing artwork - love the use of the Scrabble tiles. You never fail to bring the written word to life! Thanks for sharing and the kind gift you are offering.
Joan, Beautiful cards! I love those classic car images. The colors you chose for each card are so perfect. The sentiment stamp you are adding to the prize package is wonderful and definitely appropriate. Appreciate that you make cards for the deployed troops, too. One of the small ways we card makers can help support them. Thanks.
So modern yet so masculine!! the blues make everything blend in together and the "Thanks Dad' is a wonderful way of saying 'I love you" to your dad!!
