Cards at the New Mexico State Fair

So, I've always wanted to enter my cards into the New Mexico State fair, however I always seem to miss the deadline. Well, I didn't this year and I couldn’t be happier. I entered two cards, one in the Holiday category and one in the Occasions category. Well, I won first and second place with my cards so I would like to share those with you today!

This is my entry into the Holiday category and I won 2nd place! Some of you may recognize this card as it was my Christmas card I mailed out last year. There are many steps in this card and if you consider that I had to make 60 cards I think I must have been crazy. But I got them all made a mailed out on time and this second place ribbon was the icing on the cake!

This is my entry into the Occasions category and I won 1st place.
You can see how I used dimensionals to lift up portions of the flower that I cut out so that it would look 3-D. I think this is what hooked the judges!
