Giveaway winner and a Challenge card!

Hello! I have a few things going on today.  First.....I hope you enjoyed the Gina K Inspiration Hops on Monday and Tuesday.   If you missed it, you should take the time to go look at all the awesome creations the team posted.  I will be showing a lot more card ideas using the kit throughout the month.  Be sure to check back.

Next, I wanted to post winner from the giveaway last week!  Random.Cara chose number 23 as the winner. Congratulations to  reeree62 who said...

Love this card esp. the way you used the fun foam to pop up the flowers! I love getting inspiration to use my new Stamp TV Kit!!

March 14, 2017 at 12:03 AM

Please email me (link on sidebar) with your address so I can send that package out to you!  Thank you so much for playing along.

Finally, I wanted to post a card I created for the Paper Smooches challenge this month.  This month, the challenge was to use GREEN.

I used Adorable Array die and Hello Love die (I just snipped the word from the heart) on this card.  I also used Flag Tags for the sentiment:

Super fun because I LOVE green!  I have another card I did for the challenge that I haven't photographed yet...so I'll be back:)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Colorblocked Flowers and Blog Candy :)

Hello hello! Happy Friday!  Posting a little later than usual because I don't have my act together today:) 

Sigh.  My head was wrapped around Spring weather--and BAM! 3 inches of snow---->  Back to hiding under the blankets by the fire.

Well, today I have a few fun things to share that will cheer one lucky someone up:)  But first, here is a fun card I made using the new Bold and Blooming Stamp TV kit from Gina K Designs.  I am guest designing for Gina this month and will be part of the team blog hop on Monday and Tuesday.  You don't want to miss it--there will be lots of inspiration using this fantastic new kit.

Here is my card:

 

I stamped the flowers on pure luxury white cardstock and then colored them with Copic markers.  Then I die cut them using the dies in the kit.  I also die cut some adhesive foam (found at my local Michael's store in the felt aisle) with the dies to give the flowers some lift.  The background was sponged using Ranger distress inks (seedless preserves, mustard seed, peacock feathers). This panel was popped onto some wild lilac cardstock and distressed around the edges. I tied some Twinery twine around the main panel before adhering it to the cardbase using Scor-Tape.

Now onto the fun-  One lucky subscriber will get this little assortment.  It's always fun to get new goodies to play with.  Included is ...Grey Skies Happy stamps set (Unity Stamps Co.), Little Branches stamp set (Gina K Designs) and Party On stamp set (Gina K Designs).  I am also including a full size Ranger Distress Oxide Fired Brick stamp pad:)  Fun!  Ok. Since this is a subscriber only contest, Please only enter if you subscribe to my blog feed.  (Any subscription service is acceptable.)

Just leave a comment on this post by Wednesday, March 15 at 6 am. EST.  Random.Cara will pick a winner and it will be posted so be sure to check back to see if it's you! Good luck!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Here is one of my favorite projects from the book--so sweet and the step-by-step instructions make it seem so easy.  (Cannot wait to give it a whirl!)

OCL Stamp Giveaway!

Hello! As promised, I have a little giveaway for you today.  I actually decided to split this up into two giveaways because the stamp pile was too large.

As you may or may not know, Our Craft Lounge closed it's doors last week.  I was so sad to hear this as I loved the stamps and the people behind the business.

As I was going through my stamp room, I realized I have a ton of OCL stamps to share.  Since I can no longer use them for pubs and stuff---I figured I would pass them on to one of you.


The first giveaway includes these new or gently used sets:

Sets included: Boo-Boo, Surfer Santa, Sweet on You, Merry Moose,  Penguin Fun, Reindeer Kisses, Beyond the Universe, Love in the Air, Get Well Soon.

If you would like to enter to win, just leave a comment below by Friday, March 22 at 8 a.m. EST.  (Subscribers can enter twice!)  Random.Cara will pick a winner.  The winner will have three days after I post to send me their address, before a new one will be picked.

Look for more giveaways (more OCL stamps and Papertrey Ink stamps)...coming soon!

Clean Out the Office or Bust Giveaway!

This contest is now closed.

Hello! Happy Thursday!!

So...as planned I have a giveaway for you today!  I have been cleaning out my office. (Doing a really good job, too!)  I get overwhelmed having too much product around so I decided to weed out older collections or ones I have several sets of.

Today, I have a HUGEGANTIC box filled with Echo Park paper, stickers, stamps, embellishments for one lucky person.  It is no secret I have been a big fan of EP since the very beginning...and my craft room is overflowing with the stuff.  With new collections coming in.....I have to say goodbye to some of the older ones. 

 There are tons of full page papers and lots of the sticker sheets are full or have just a few stickers missing:

Sigh! This makes me happy just looking at it and I am sure that one of you will get hours of fun from all this stuff.  The box weighs a ton!

All you have to do to be entered is leave a comment below letting me know you stopped by.  As always, subscribers can enter twice.  (Subscribers include those on my feed, Google reader or any other subscription service.) I really appreciate how many of you stop by on a regular basis and this is just one of the ways I can say thank you.

You have until Sunday morning at 8 a.m. EST to leave a comment.  Random.Cara will pick a winner and I will post the name on Monday.  The winner will have three days to email their address to me or we will pick a new one!

Good luck! Thanks for stopping by!
