*****Edited to add that I am a giant goof! ;) So sorry, I wasn't on my computer when I posted this and wasn't able to save Lisa's layout. Didn't even realize I didn't list her name and blog info!*****

So who is lucky number 5!?! Lisa808. Take a peek at her amazing layout....

Take a look at the die cut strip. I love that! So cute! :) You can view more of Lisa's amazing work at her blog Crafting With Princess Lisa.

Thank you all for playing this week! Your samples are amazing! I'll be back in a bit with the next sketch. I hope you all get a chance to play!

Post you soon!

A Winner!

This weeks Clean & Simple scrapbook challenge winner is Teresa from Inkfully Yours. Take a peek at her beautiful layout....

I love this wonderful winter page! The stamps are perfect for this! This has been another amazing week of samples! Thank goodness for random.org! I would never be able to pick a winner on my own!

Ok...one more little tidbit of info. I'm moving so slow this morning! Why, you ask...or maybe I will ask for you! Last night I attended my first ever crop at Archivers. How fun was that! Ok...a lesson in planning was learned as it's really hard to be surrounded by all of that product and be missing something of your own! I will pack so much better before the next time! I was so excited to have the opportunity to stamp (or scrap) with some really talented peeps!

Recognize those cute faces? That's Kimber and Julie! Holy smokes! I was surrounded by talent! It was such a fun night! Did I really stamp till 11! Ok...that happens at home all the time but I actually started at around 5! That's a long night of stamping! It was so much fun!

Ok...off to get the day started! I need to get my layout ready for tomorrows challenge. I am LOVING this sketch! ...and I promised the boys a little Mario Kart time today. So for now I am off to the races! I will post you all soon!

And The Winner Is....

I am overwhelmed! You guys created some AMAZING samples for this weeks Clean & Simple Scrapbook challenge. I LOVEd seeing all of your interpretations of the sketch.

I used random.org to pick the winner and it picked lucky layout #1...


Here are your random numbers:1

I will post you all soon. A couple of little notes....Don't forget the big inspirational blog hop today starting at 11 Eastern. Also, VSN! Woohoo! My challenge actually posts at 11AM as well.

Congrats on your milestone and thanks for a chance at your blog candy!

Thanks so much for playing y'all! And thank you for coming by! :) Please email your deets Janet so I can get your goodies in the mail! :)

....does the time go! I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful holiday break. It's been a fun ...and crazy.... time here. Today was the first day that I have actually sat down to stamp in what feels like forever! I look up from my desk to see my #2 son......



The giant jigsaw puzzle pieces belong to his little brother. What I have learned is that baby toys are so much more appealing when you are 6. Who knew?! Ok...how long is this break? lol! I think the boys are already going stir crazy!


...Needless to say, I haven't had a ton of blogging time this last week. Between finishing up for Christmas and keeping up with these little guys of mine, things have been quite crazy! I totally missed my blogs 150K hits! I totally cannot believe that I am there. Well, a little bit over now that I've actually noticed! How is that possible? Well, because of all of my online friends...because of all of you! Thank you so much for coming by each day and leaving me such kind comments. I cannot tell you how much it means to me!



Let's celebrate! As a thank you to each of you I am offering up some candy. This is what I have so far. If you've won from me before, you know that your package will arrive with a little extra. This time is no exception. One of my projects this week is to clean up my stamping space. Things are in total chaos! This is what I could put my hands on for the photo.....



The stamp set is from Stampin Up it's called By the Sea. The paper is Basic Grey. The ribbon is random satin. Once I come across some of the brads for this paper I will add it to the package. I know they are here somewhere!


Thank you! I really enjoy sharing with all of you! Thank you for coming by to see what's going on and for all of your kind words!


Hope you are all enjoying your break! I will post you soon! :)

***edited to add....deadline for this one will be Friday. I will announce the winner on Saturday morning. Hope you all enjoy your week. I will be back with posts throughout the week but I am scheduling them all. This promises to be an even busier week than last! :) Have a good one!

.....And The Winner(s)......

Happy Sunday! I had Random.org pick the winners of the hip hop blog candy and the lucky winners are....

I uploaded my card to SSC08 gallery in Splitcoast. Hope it's there. Haven't done this for a long time. Made this simple card for my SIL who needed a simple but classic looking card for business contacts. For some reason the only way I can get my comments in is by going anonymous - Google won't work for me. But I still want to 'play' so I have had to go this route. Nice blog candy Jennifer - thanks.

Thank you SO much each and every one of you for playing! I really, REALLy, loved seeing all of your cards! They are all amazing! :)

Hope you are all doing well! :)

Day 9....And Blog Candy

...but this time you have to work for it. Ok...very, VERY LITTLE for it! Today I have the pleasure of hosting a challenge. I LOVE hosting challenges. Given this is the craziest time of the year I have opted for something EPLS!

Happy celebration Tuesday! How fun is this!

I am having so much fun with this celebration! :) How awesome is Sharon! :)

My challenge for you today is to create a quick card. After all, we all need time to bake! ...and in my case shop! So today, create something quick. I do understand that my idea of quick may differ from yours. I'm easy. As long as you consider it a quick card...it counts!

Here's a little something, something I created....

I will share that it actually took longer for the liquid pearls to dry than it did to create this card. Maybe that's not such a big shock! ;)

Once you create yours be sure and link here so that I can check them out and you can be entered for the blog candy. You can upload to your own blog or to SCS under the keyword SSC08....that will keep all of the Stamp Simply challenge/projects in one place.

Be sure and check out all of the fabulous designers who created samples for this one:

Janine

Julie

Tammy

AJ

LeAnne

Sharon

So what are you playing for? How about the Christmas Stamp Ensemble from JustRite Stamper along with the wooden handle that goes along with it. Some glittery chipboard snowflakes from K&Company, a pad of dsp from SU and a ton of green and red ribbon.

Be sure and link your card up by Saturday at midnight. I will announce a winner on Sunday morning.

Also up for today's celebration:

Blog candy over at Sharon's site.

AJ has a fun trivia contest that will also offer up blog candy to one lucky winner.

So many goodies for today! :)

And The Winner Is.....

Hey you all! A quick one here. I apologize for being so late in getting this posted!

Here are your random numbers:256

One Layer Unity & Blog Candy...Bump

Bump...the last couple of weeks have been insane! Thankfully, our big fall event is finished...with the exception of a few three dozen or so thank yous....I'm bumping this because I completely forgot to put a deadline with this challenge! How about we give it until this Saturday. I will announce the winner then. Looking forward to all of your super cute Christmas cards! :)

Back again!

OhMYGoodness! We spent 1 hour and 28 minutes in a child hair salon this afternoon! Is that even possible? Our appointment was at 4...two at 4 and one at 4:15... I get it...15 minute appt's. Makes sense...their little noggins aren't exactly covered with tons of hair...their boys! But the poor stylist was all alone! Her co-worker ditched her at some point during the day. So there she was trying to make it work! Thank heaven for the slide and all the trains! I didn't even realize we had been waiting that long!

So we are home and I am getting ready to get to stamping. I promised you guys I would share a little challenge and some blog candy. So here I am with the Artisan challenge. Ours was to use rub ons but since it's getting so close to Christmas, let's just make it Christmas cards again. If you use rub ons I'll throw in a bonus! ;) How's that?

First I want to share a little card I made the other day. It's a one layer I made with the Ocean Tides paper from PTI. I made this the same day as the Christmas one I posted a couple of days ago.... The stamp is from Unity's Grow kit. This is one of my FAVORITE kits! I LOVE this big bold flower! :)

But what's wrong with this card.......take a close look at the stitching....holy heck! I think I have broken another sewing machine! Is that even possible? This thing gets so crazy! Skipping stitching...don't even ask me what was going on with the stitches on this card! AH! Craziness! Do you take these things in for servicing? Maybe I should be looking into that! ;)

Anyway...on to the candy! If you are participating, link your card here. You are entering to win this....

Ok, dokey...I need to dash and get some more stamping done! I finished my cards for hip hop. I so wish I could show you now! I used the November kit of the month. SOOOO cute! Now I'm off to work on the Dirty Dozen stuff. That gallery is filling up with some BEAUTIFUL stuff! :)

Hope you are all doing well! Have a great night! :)

And The Winner Is....

Thank you so much for playing with my little Christmas challenge. Random.org picked the 3rd card entered (Here are your random numbers:3
Timestamp: 2008-10-25 13:54:53 UTC) and that is.....

This beauty was created by Giovana Smith. Please send me your deets, Giovana and I will ship your goodies off to you!

Thank you so much for playing! I had so much fun! I hope you are all having a great Saturday! I will post you soon!

A Little Something Vintage

I just picked myself up something from Crafty Secrets and decided to use some of it for this little candy pull pouch. Did y'all ever see the tutorial Beate did on SCS? If not you can check it out here. I have altered the dimensions slightly so that I could use this GIANT candy bar! The dimensions I used are for the 7 ounce bar.....

It's actually just an 8 1/2 X 11 piece of card stock that I scored at 1/4" from the long side then from the score mark, score again at 4 3/4" then score 1/4" then another 4 3/4 and then cut at 1/4" You also score it 1/4" from the bottom of the page. I used sticky tape to tape the edges together...from there you could just follow the rest of Beate's instructions...the slot punch...ribbon to pull candy bar...that's it...then embellish.

I used one of the Cotton Scraps from Crafty Secrets on this one...

Now one more quickie something! I said when I posted the last Artisan 'challenge' that I would post a chance for blog candy at the next one. Well...I totally spaced it! Ah! Sorry about that! Here's what you will be playing for.....

How about this to make us stamp! Just create a Christmas something...card, gift, tag...whatever inspires you and then link it here. I will pick a winner at random on Saturday. Are you up for it? Feels like a win, win! You get a chance for the candy and are one project ahead of the game for Christmas! :)

Hope you are all having a great Sunday! I am off to get caught up on a few things! I will post you all soon!

Well, there is this cute little clock. I LOVE this clock and it's part of the cutest little set! How would you like to get your hands on this set! Oh...sorry...check it out here. *****just a little side note...I will come back at some point either tomorrow or Sunday and post a picture of the set.

You know the first Colts game of the season is Sunday! Woohoo! I am working on a little Colts stuff to share with you guys! Unity has the perfect horseshoe for just this project!

Have a good one and good luck to each of you! :)

It's My Party....

...and I'll cry if I want to....

Why would I cry? Because I missed my own party! Oh my heck! Where have I been!

...besides running around like a crazy woman around here!....

I missed my own blogiversary! How sad is that! ....insert sad face here.....

Wowza! I wanted balloons....and cake....and beverages!....mocktails....cocktails....whatever your personal preference....

What did I do....big ol' nothing!

How about a late blogiversary celebration! ....of course you get the reward! I can't believe that I have been updating this blog for a year now! This has been such an amazing experience! I have so enjoyed meeting each of you! You are all so sweet and I can't thank you enough for all of your kind words and support! You guys ROCK!

It's a good start to something cute for Christmas....and I'm sorry...you know how I am...once I get through this junk pit I will probably add to it...hope you don't mind! It's impossible to find stuff down here! That I can even find my way in and out is a miracle! Just leave a post on this entry to be entered in the drawing. You know the rest! Be sure and leave your post by next Sunday the 17th of August...I will pick a winner Monday morning.
