CONGRATULATIONS!

One of our granddaughters is a manager for her high school wrestling team.  Recently some of the wrestlers from her school went to state and competed in their weight classes.  One of Abby's classmates won in his class.  She was overjoyed that he won and asked if I had anything to make a card about "wrestling" for him.  I didn't.

However, I have been boxing up stamps that I want to either sell or get rid of and remembered a mini stamp set that had a solid and an outline for a "blue ribbon".  I turned the outline stamp upside down and turned it into a medal. I colored with Copic markers in the school colors and even had a piece of scrapbook paper with the school name on it.  She loved it.  I was relieved!

Thank you for coming by today!
