    Kathryn - I love that your card is RETRO or vintage inspired - after all we are LOOKING BACK with our challenge! This is GORGEOUS! Thank you for everything you do for JUGS to make us all that we are. You are quick to volunteer for hostessing and always have your projects done and in our folder before the rest of us have even picked up a stamp - LOVE THAT!!! You are a real treasure and a great part of the team!

    Hope you survived Irene...?? Been thinking about you - I MAY get up to Boston to see a GF this fall and we may travel up to Maine - maybe I'll pop in and say HI!

    I have to be honest...I saw your card in the thumbnails and couldn't wait to get her. I LOVE G45 papers and I couldn't wait to see what you created with Domestic Goddess - And when I got here it took my breath away! Stunning creation, Kathryn.
    Congratulations on being part of this fabulous group celebrating the 100th challenge.
