MIDNIGHT MADNESS (MMSC55) RED CARPET WEEK

            
I can't believe it's Tuesday again and time for another Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge! This will be our last week of our Blogeversary celebration so I hope you are all ready as there is so much going on! Here for starters....
                                 
"In honor of the person who started the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge, the design team unanimously chose to name this very special award the "Priscilla Award". Priscilla has inspired, encouraged, motivated, and stimulated everyone of us in our crafting endeavors. She has been our friend, our mentor, our confident our sister in crafting. She is tireless in her efforts to bring you the best of the best each week and to challenge each and everyone of us to achieve greater heights than we ever thought imaginable. She was humbled by the idea of us coming together to call it the "Priscilla Award", but we as the Design Team thought it was only fitting for the highest honor that someone could achieve on Midnight Madness to be named after our founding individual."
We would like to present to ONE outstanding card/craft person who is represented amongst our GOLD STAR winners of the past year, the coveted "Priscilla Award". Not only that, but it is going to be the "PEOPLES CHOICE". What does that mean....that means that you our friends and weekly players are going to choose the winner this time!!!! CLICK ON HERE TO GO TO PRISCILLA'S BLOG TO SEE ALL THE FINALISTS AND TO CAST YOUR VOTE!
Before I continue with all the awards and card details there are two DT members that we have to say goodbye to today! Michelle and Jeni have decided to step down from the team to spend more of their time with their families and exploring new things over the summer. You both are super talented and supportive, have been such an asset to the team and I feel blessed to have worked alongside you. Ladies you will both be missed but I wish you all the best and look forward to keeping track of what you are doing by visiting your blogs.
Congratulations to all our winners this week

For my card this week I decided to use one of my favorite Elisabeth Bell images called Daisy. I just love the way she seems to be lost in thought....daydreaming! I think we all need to do that once in a while just to appreciate the moment....the here and now!
This is a closeup of the stitching. I had fun with this and am happy with how it turned out.
So who are you going to be wearing on the RED CARPET this week? Let's see all those fabulous designer gowns you have hidden away!!
 I chose this gorgeous black Vera Wang gown worn by the beautiful Mariska Hargitay...she borrowed it from me and I know will give it back for our RED CARPET evening!!! LOL
I can't wait to see what you all are wearing for the end of our celebration week. Oh and don't forget to get all the info from Priscilla's blog regarding voting for the Cardmaker/Crafter of the year!
