Happy Valentine’s Day! and blog candy winner

I have some fun cards to post tomorrow, so I will wish you all a Happy Valentine’s Day a few hours early! Here’s a quick, no frills Valentine treat can. I washed out a mixed nuts can and covered it with dp. The image is by Amuse and it’s called Sky Writer. The great thing about using a nut can, is how easy it is to poke a hole anywhere you want to insert brads. I found this great ribbon at Michael’s on clearance….wish I had bought more than one! I thought the words might look a bit like puffs of smoke from the plane.

OK, so now for the blog candy….
I thought I would celebrate my recent birthday by giving a gift myself. It will be a surprise (mostly because I haven’t picked anything out yet!) LOL. But I will stuff a package with some stamped images and other fun stuff. Just comment on this post and Wednesday night I will draw a winner.

and the blog candy winner is….

Random.org picked:
Cheryl Kelly-Van Domelenon
I really like Ellie! She reminds me of my daughter! All these stamps are my โ€œstyleโ€ so it was hard to decide! Thanks!

Cheryl, please e-mail me your address and I will get Anna’s set mailed out to you!
Thanks to everyone who played along! I loved hearing your favorites. I love so many of Anna’s stamps too….I have a growing list. Penny in her cute little bikini is one of them at the top of my list….she just cracks a smile whenever I look at her! ๐Ÿ™‚

sunflowers & blog candy!

These sunflowers just make me smile! As I was finishing this card, it just needed a little something. The main image was too bare. After I added the button & partial circle I realized that I was inspired by this card of Anna’s that I saw earlier! The button filled in the bare spot just right.
Now…about the cookie crumbs (blog candy)……I have an extra Posies For You set to give away! ๐Ÿ™‚
If you would like a chance to receive Anna’s first unmounted set, Posies For You, then all you need to do is comment on this post and tell me which of Anna’s stamps is your favorite! I will hold this open until Saturday and on Sunday I will use the random number generator to pick a winner. Don’t forget to add your name. I won’t be able to choose an anonymous post! ๐Ÿ˜‰

dreary day

It’s been a dreary day outside today. I was glad to be able to stay inside and get started on another 6×6 recipe swap I’m in! Anyway, I just wanted to post and ask HeyHeyPaula to e-mail me your address and I’ll get the Sleigh Bells Ring card out to you. ๐Ÿ™‚

Would you like this card?

I happen to have one Christmas card left….one of the Sleigh Bells Ring cards I made. I cannot think of a better way to send it than to mail it out to one of my readers. ๐Ÿ™‚
Just post a comment by Wed., Dec. 26 telling me what you enjoyed the most this Christmas and I will use the random generator to pick a name. The card will arrive a bit late for Christmas, but the wish is still the same. Thank you for stopping by the past few months! Mondo hugs!

time for some cookie crumbs!

Wow….25,000 hits! I think it’s time for some cookie crumbs (blog candy), don’t you? ๐Ÿ™‚

Edit: It is a very busy week for everyone and a time to spend with our families. So I decided that you only need to post a comment to be entered. Instead of using the number generator, on Saturday I will draw from a hat. AND….if you have time to make a card or other project with my cupcake pattern, post a link back here & you will get your name in the hat twice. ๐Ÿ™‚

The winner will receive a pack of Fall chipboard pieces, a pack of Karen Foster Magnetic Journals, a Karen Foster Enamel Frame & Doodads, and 2 jars of Pearlustre embossing powders.
