BLOG CANDY!!

It was one year ago today that I announced on my blog that I had signed up to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and I have decided to celebrate with some great blog candy! This is the blog candy up for grabs. It includes my favourite SAB set Botanical Blooms and a 6" x 6" designer paper pack (which includes 60 sheets: 2 each of 5 double sided designs in each of the colours - real red, pretty in pink, apricot appeal, bashful blue and wild wasabi).

Thank you to everyone who has made my blog such a success! I have had a blast creating it and enjoy reading each and every comment that is left for me!

Batty SFYTT

Sorry for the delay in posts. It's been a busy week - I had to work 6 evenings in a row then go back to Calgary for appointments.

This is the card I made for Jen's SFYTT. I really like this sketch - it's so simple but I love all of the straight lines! Cards like this make me wish I had the SU markers so that I could have just coloured the bat from the stamp and left out the writing! One of these days I'll break down and buy them!

Stamps: SU Batty for You
Ink: SU basic black
Paper: SU pumpkin pie, basic black, ghostly greetings dp

TECC35 Lots of Ribbon

This has to be one of my favourite cards I have ever made! The layout was inspired by Taylored Expressions: TECC35. I had really been wanting to play with my Verve Visual stamp set "Asian Flair especially this particular sentiment. Since it had to do with ribbons I really wanted to use a lot of ribbon (which is my favourite embellishment) on the card - and what better way than creating a ribbon weave! I love the way this turned out!

Stamps: Verve Visual Asian Flair
Ink: SU groovy guava
Paper: SU groovy guava, ww, ginger blossom dp
Ribbon: SU groovy guava

Baja Silhouettes Set and Candy For A Cause

I liked the pocket silhouettes cards that I made yesterday so much that I decided to make several more sets of it using different colours and ribbons. I will share them all with you over the next couple of days. These cards are made using the new SU In Colour Baja Breeze and are cards made using only SU supplies. I like the way these turned out, but they seem a little dark to me. Since I ended up making so many of these cards, I have decided to use some of the cards from the next few posts to give to caregivers of Alzheimer's patients. I am doing this as part of Carolyn King's blog candy for a great cause. Carolyn has raised over $1000 in blog candy and has done a lot to help out with Alzheimer's through her recently released stamp set. If you want a chance to win this huge blog candy, check out her blog post here.

Supplies:

Stamps: SU pocket silhouettes
Ink: SU basic black
Paper: SU basic black, baja breeze
Ribbon: SU baja breeze

Blog Candy!!

I was so excited to see that I reached over 1000 "unique" visitors while I was back in Calgary again! I know it is not much for most, but it is for me. When Grant suggested I start blogging I thought it was pointless because no one would read it, but I was wrong. It's exciting to start seeing people come back more than once to see what I am up to.

So to celebrate, I am offering up some blog candy!


Everything in the picture is up for grabs for those in the US and Canada.
This candy contains:
-5 rolls of ribbon (4 yards each - will be mailed off the roll for convenient shipping)
-1 Studio G stamp set
-1 Studio G notepad to alter with a purple pen (you can see an example here)
-1 Sandylion Essentials "HO" stickers with rhinestones for "O"
It my not be much, but hey, I just got started and it's still fun!

In order to qualify for this blog candy, please leave a comment saying which of my projects I have posted is your favorite and what you like about it. I will draw for a winner on Sunday April 27.

Thanks for checking out my blog.
