Salsa Festival 2009

One thing I like about living in a small town is the cool community events that happen. There's Founders Day, 4th of July Great American BBQ and every year our town has this Salsa Festival where competitors bring hot or mild salsas, recipes they have created and the public samples the salsa and then votes for their favorites. It's super fun! I can't remember what the winner gets, but it is usually a cash prize and I think this year they added a vacation.

The town provides chips as you enter the venue. There is live music, and performing arts (dance), bounce houses for the kids, a food area, and even local vendors, churches etc. that you can get information from. Always lots of fun. We usually walk over since we live close enough to the park. Traffic and parking is usually out of control so it's awesome just to walk over.

I just love this picture of Mic sampling salsa. This one was a mild one, but it had a little kick. The one from Maricopa High School was really kickin' -- he needed some water after that one. *grins*

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
