So how about that Give-away?

Posted on June 10, 2008 | 262 comments

Hi everybody!  I know I say it every time I post, but I truly am grateful that you take the time to stop in here to see what I’ve been up to.  So to thank you, I have a couple of really great give-aways. (At least I hope you think they’re great!)  The give-away items have changed a bit from what I had initially planned but I think you’ll be just as happy…or happier!  

I have two prizes which means two winners!   I will use the Random Number Generator to select winners on the evening of Monday, June 16th.   Just leave a comment on this post for your chance to win one of the two prizes.  Just to keep it fair, PLEASE only one comment per person.  Additional comments by the same person will be deleted. 

You know how much I *love* the new Baby Love set from the Kim Hughes Collection at Cornish Heritage Farms, right?  Well, I just happen to have an extra!  And how about a Classic Essential Expressions set from Mona Lisa Moments at CHF?  I have an extra of that too.  Just in case you have no clue what I’m talking about (and how can that be?), here they are:

Give-away No. 1

Giveaway1

A couple of things to keep in mind if you’ve never seen or used Cornish Heritage Farms stamps… They are made of the highest quality, deeply-etched red rubber with the best cling around!  No slippage here!  (So you’ll need acrylic blocks to use them.)

The stamps come on one sheet so you’ll need to cut them out yourself.  If you’ve never used a Cornish Heritage Farms stamp set, you will LOVE the quality of these stamps!!  (Just my biased opinion, of course!)

For the second give-away, I have a Basic Grey Sultry 6″ x 6″ paper pad and Vintage Garnet Belle Fleur Prima flowers (both from Jacksonbelle Embellishments), a Pitch Black Adirondack stamp pad and a package of White Quilted Weave Magic Mesh.

Give-away 2

As always, thank you SO much for stopping by!  I can’t say how much your support means to me.  

Don’t forget to check back after Monday night to see if you’ve won!  Good luck!

Well, I got my big ol’ package of new goodies this weekend from Jacksonbelle Embellishments and I just couldn’t wait to play!  Basic Grey’s new Figgy line is fantastic!  My only complaint about the 6″ x 6″ paper pad (which I prefer to the 12″ x 12″ sheets)…my ONLY complaint…is that there is only one sheet of each design.  But you know what that means, right?  I’ll just have to buy more! 🙂

For this card, I used the new Basic Grey Winterland stamp set.  I love that deer!  I used Cinnamon and Platinum Stickles to make some shimmery “lights” on the antlers. The stamp set comes with little ornaments to “hang” on the antlers as well.  (I have another sample using the ornaments which I’ll post later.)  Oh, and the deer head is popped up too.

Cardstock:  SU Chocolate Chip, Papertrey Ink white     Patterned Paper:  Basic Grey Figgy      Stamps:  Basic Grey Winterland, SU Small Script     Ink:  SU Chocolate Chip     Accessories:  Ribbon, Cinnamon and Platinum Stickles, dimensionals, mat pack/needle, SU Chocolate Chip marker, ticket corner punch.  Finished card size 5 ½” x 4 ¼”.

So….as another thank you to you guys for continually checking back here, I feel like sharing.  How about a Figgy 6″ x 6″ paper pad…a package of Daisy D’s rub-on zig-zag tape…new burgundy Stickles…3 yards of May Arts red/burgundy reversible satin ribbon…all from Jacksonbelle Embellishments.  I love all these products!  Just tell me…what is your favorite occasion for card-making (or crafting in general)?  I like making cards for no reason in particular, just to make someone’s day (or at least make them smile).  My second favorite is Halloween!

I’ll use the random number generator to select a winner the morning of Sunday, October 28th. Good luck!  And as always, thanks so much for stopping by!

Let’s Hear it for the Boys! It’s a Give-away!

Posted on August 9, 2007 | 301 comments

Dude MFT

Hmmm…looks like this boy is in a bit of trouble.  I’m happy to say I’ve never had an experience like this (including having to wear a business suit to work)!

Well, you know… my mind wanders when I start thinking about combining sets, and My Favorite Things stamps are absolutely perfect for mixing. 

This card took a bit of planning.  I actually started by stamping a beer bottle, then masking it, stamping another and masking that one as well.  I started with only three bottles on the floor but then thought, no, there needs to be more (because he’s in LOTS of trouble).   But before adding bottles, I stamped the dude image.  I masked him, then stamped the woman from the Back to School set.   Next I stamped four more bottles, colored and cut them out and adhered each one individually in the pile.  The hat and fish plaque are mounted on dimensionals.

Since I haven’t used them in a while (and I need the practice), I got out my Prismacolor pencils to color the images. 

I used my new favorite patterned paper again, Webster’s Pages (available here), adding tiny screw brads in each corner.

I have really appreciated everyone taking a peek at my blog.  I was hesitant to start it, wondering if anyone would even be interested in what goes through my mind or how I do things.  So as a “thank you” I’m having my first give-away.  I’ve tried to cover the boys, both big and small.  I’ve included the newly released set Let’s Hear it for the Boys from My Favorite Things, an 8″ x 8″ pack of the new Little Boy Biography Collection by Cosmo Cricket (VERY cute patterned paper with alphabet and journaling cards), a set of Karen Foster mini tool charms (many of you know how much I love those!), Boy Crazy mini sprinkle brads by Queen & Co., and three yards each of red/cream striped ribbon and brown/cream striped ribbon (both May Arts).  MFT GA 1

All you need to do is leave a comment on this post (one per person, please).  You can just say hi, ask a question, whatever.  You can comment through Tuesday, August 14th.  On August 15th I’ll use the random number generator to select a winner.

Thanks again for visiting! I really appreciate your interest! 🙂

Cardstock:  Chocolate Chip, Papertrey Ink white     Patterned Paper:  Webster’s Pages Vintage Home Collection “Nestled”     Stamps:  My Favorite Things Let’s Hear it for the Boys, Back to School, Karen Foster mini formal snap stamps     Ink:  Brilliance Graphite Black     Accessories:  Prismacolor pencils, mineral spirits, Karen Foster mini screw brads, ribbon (May Arts), dimensionals.  Finished card size: 5 ½” x 4 ¼”.
