Image Giveaway

IMAGE GIVEAWAY
I will leave this post up until Sunday, Jan. 31st.

I'd like to give these images away to:

  • someone who is just starting stamping (maybe a year or two)

  • doesn't have a lot of money to buy images and

  • someone who does NOT color with Copics as most of these are not on Copic friendly paper.
This bundle has House Mouse, tons of Bella stamps, Whipper Snapper images, Riley and some miscellaneous christmas stamps.  I have been in a few image swaps as well as lucky enough to have lots of friends who I can exchange images with. 


All you have to do is leave your comment as to why you or someone you know would love to receive this package.  I will randomly draw someone to mail them out to on Sunday

My Sister's Blog

So some of my friends have asked why my sister doesn't have a widget on her blog so they can subscribe.  She hasn't had time to play with her blog so I did it!  And I revamped it!!  I have so much fun doing that.  You can now check out my TWIN'S creations at:

"As My World Turns" - funny girl!

Magnolia Challenges

I made this card and didn't mean to use all the Magnolia challenges but it just worked out that way.

Creative Accents Challenge

Creative Accents, my favorite LSS, is hosting a challenge if you would like to see the details on their blog.  The basic idea is to use old supplies mixed with new supplies.  I came up with a stand up card and you can find the tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers called Free Standing Pop-Up Card.

My "new" is Earth Love dp by Cosmo Cricket and ribbon and my "old" is my poor neglected Hanna Stamp.  I really need to quit buying stamps and use what I have.  Ya right!!!  LOL!! 

My first image is folded as if it were in an envelope getting mailed and the 2nd image is when it's all folded out and is standing.  Cute!



Stamps: Hanna Stamps
Paper: Bazzill and Earth Love by Cosmo Cricket
Embellishments: Earth Love Ribbon, Prima Flowers
Punches: MS Leaf punches
Ink: Colored With Copics and Momento Ink
