Blogoversary Candy!



Hi Everyone!


OMGosh, I can hardly believe that today is my 2nd Blogoversary, Yippee!!!!  That's right my 1st Post was February 8, 2010. Wow does 2 years just fly by or what...lol  I still find it hard to believe that it took me almost 6 months to get up the nerve to  actually click the "Publish Post"  on my " Haven't got a Clue"  first ever blog post Feb 8, 2010...LMAO 


The best part about blogging is all the wonderful friends I have made on my journey.  I am constantly amazed by the kindness in blogland and the wonder of it all.  I love, love, love it..have I told everyone that I love it!


As a thank you and celebration of all of you I am offering up some Yummy Blog Candy.  It's a bit different than the normal candy.  With the economy being what it is and shipping costs so high I have decided to make my Candy a $50.00 (US Currency)  Gift  Certificate...with a twist!




Here's the twist..the Random Winner will be able to choose what  Store they want the Gift Certificate to be from...how awesome is that!  There are just a few stipulations on the Store of choice.  


The Store of Choice must:  

  • Accept Paypal & Able to Convert Currency
  • Have Gift Certificates that can be bought on-line with PayPal
  • Open world wide (GC based on US Dollar)
  • Be a "Craft" Type Store (can be a web or brick & mortar store, Stamp store ok/ digi or rubber)

Blog Candy will close at Midnight on March 16th, PST.  The Random Winner will be announced on "St Patricks Day" March 17th.  The winner will have until March 25th to claim the prize or a new winner will be drawn.

"Be Mine" Treat Box


Hi Everyone!

It's time for our new challenge at Paper Creations Ink. We have a Recipe!  It's not a hard one so give it a try.  All you have to do is use "1 Image, 2 Patterned Papers & 3 Embellishments"   

We all got to use digis from the Valentine Collection from our sponsor Simply B Stamps!   Our winner will have their choice of 2 of the images used by the DT. 

I got to use "Sting You Lola".  Isn't she just too cute.  I think so. Can't wait to fill my treat box full of Valentine goodies.


I will be entering my cute little treat box into the following challenges:



Yikes, I didn't get to use my most favorite tool, ok machine!  That's right, no cuttlebugging waa waah...That means no embossing, Nesties or Dies. 

I made up for that with my punches.  All the papers are from my stash, I think the DP is SU but not sure.  I created my rosette with my MS Heart Punch and my Scor Pal.  Colored my image and wooden heart with my Copics.



Our challenge will run until February 19th, that gives everyone lots of time to join in the fun.  Hope to see you there!

Love Hurts!

Hi Everyone!


I am so excited!!  I won the December Challenge at The Corrosive Challenge Blog in December.  Not only did I win some fantabulous Saturated Canary Digis, I get to be GDT for the whole month of February!

Our Challenge for the next couple of weeks is "Love Bites"  It's open to interpretation, you decide what that means to you...lol 

I made my own background with the words "He loves me, he loves me not".  Used my cuttlebug  , nesties with some embossing folders.  Computer generated "Love Hurts" sentiment.  I made my little stick pin. I even embossed and distressed the heart doily.   Used my Copics to color my digi.    Added a bow and some pearls to finish it off.

I made this for one of my friends to give to her DH...should be interesting...  She really like this little "Black Widow" SBDS digi .   I am entering my "Love Hurts"  card into the following challenges:



Tiddly Inks is the sponsor for February.  Don't forget to visit, Christy has some cutie patootie digis!



Here's a little blurb about Christy the owner: I am a self-trained illustrator who likes simple, cute and quirky drawings with a sense of humor. I draw what amuses me, which means some days it is quirky and cute and other days I come up with a bit of twisted gothic feel. I hope you like them as much as I do. My personal professional illustration portfolio can be found at http://christycroll.com.

Hope to see you all at the Corrosive.   Thanks for stopping by,
