Challenge Winner!

I am very pleased to announce that Nancy is the winner of our first Phindy's Place challenge over at PCP! The winner was chosen by random.org (phew - I could not have chosen!) but Nancy did create a really beautiful card. You can see exactly how she worked on this card, including pictures of the interior on her blog.
