This is the 31st week of my personal 50-week States of the Union Challenge. Each week I research one of the 50 United States (in the order they attained statehood). I share tidbits of information about the state here on my blog and I create a card that is inspired by something about that state.
This week's state (the 31st one to attain statehood) is California.
I decided to go with this bit of California information for my card's inspiration... During the boom years in California due to the gold rush of 1849, miners used to send their laundry to Honolulu for washing and pressing, but it was deemed more feasible to send their shirts to Hawaii for servicing due to the extremely high costs in California.
You can find more photos/information about both the state of California and my card on my blog...

What a cute card! A lot of its pop comes from those black mats under each panel. Your work is so precise, too! Sute sentiment, cute stamps to match...it's fun!
