Farm Kitchen

Yesterday The Stamping Boutique had a One-Stop Blog Hop.  The Design Team was to create a card/project using one of the Farm images.  I chose the Kitchen Shelf and Pantry images for my card.  We were then to send our cards to Rhonda where she posted them on her blog and assigned a number to each of our cards/projects.  Everyone who did the one-stop blog hop was to vote for their favorite and leave a comment.  My card was #7.  The winner from the Design Team was to receive blog candy from Rhonda and a winner from who left a comment was also chosen by Random.org to win their choice of 4 Farm images.  Kym from KymKreates with her Chicken Coop card #3 was the winner with the most votes.  My card came in with 2 votes behind hers.  Congrats to Kym for a great job and the other Design Team members with their fabulous cards!
