Congratulations to Lynn who is being recognized as Queen for the day - in honor of her participation in challenges, as well as her faithfulness in commenting on cards. On top of that, she has a lovely gallery.
Enjoy your much deserved day (or week) in the sun!
If you want more about the challenge, it is found in the Fun and Games section (this is more a game than a challenge!): Forums at Splitcoaststampers
The card I selected for inspiration is this one: allee's SC257 by allee's at Splitcoaststampers
It is a sketch challenge, and I pretty much kept the layout, but moved the sentiment. My bg colors and style are similar, but the image is quite different.
Thanks, Anne, for leading this.
Edit: What a nasty scan! Looks like a glaring flash - no camera involved LOL!

This is just adorable. I have that very stamp, and once when I used it on a card in my gallery, Lynn refered to it as the "Austin girls" with a friend. (Lynn and I are sisters and our maiden name was Austin. She will love this one!!!

Oh, Dorothy, this image is perfect! I think I just might see myself in that image. I think your scan is just fine. Church blessings is so appropriate for these 3 ladies.

I love your card. These "church ladies" remind me of my grandmother. Any one of them could be her and she has been gone so long. Thanks for the memories it brought to my mind.

What a great nostalgic image! It really reminds me of my grandmother and her "circle" ladies, and DH would say it looks like me and a couple of my former coworkers. Awesome card Dorothy!
