Plant Smiles.....

Good morning everyone.  Today I am playing along with the C4C80 sketch challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges.  This sketch looked very interesting so I wanted to give it a try.

I am so ready for Springtime and warmer temperatures - it only reached 28 degrees here in Maine today!!  This card really warmed me up.

Here is a look at the sketch

My floral stamp is from JustRite "The Greatest Joy", colored with Copics and diecut with Spellbinders Classic Ovals.  The frame is diecut with Spellbinders Labels 8.  The sentiment is from JustRite "Seeds Of Kindness", stamped with Memento Bamboo Leaves and Memento Tuxedo Black and diecut with Spellbinders.  The larger striped mat was created with different sized strips of paper from the DCWV Cafe' Mediterranean Stack and diecut with Spellbinders Labels 8.  The next layer is embossed with Sizzix Kassie's Brocade embossing folder and inked with Memento New Sprout.

Thanks for stopping in for a visit today.  I hope you have a great day!!

Blog Candy Winner Is..........

Good morning everyone.  I'm sure all of you have been waiting on pins and needles to find out who has won my ONE YEAR BLOG ANNIVERSARY.

 But before I get to that I just thought I would fill you all in on how much fun I had at CHA.  This was the 3rd CHA that I have had the pleasure to work at.  Even though it is A LOT of work, it is also a lot of fun.  I got to meet quite a few bloggers that I have met online.  I really enjoy having online friends, but to actually meet these great ladies in person is amazing.  They are all so nice and friendly.  This papercrafting community is so amazing and I am honored to be a part of it.

Okay, now on to more important stuff.  I was really happy to read all of your comments and get a feel of what you have enjoyed over the past year.  I like to keep connected with my readers so that I can keep creating things that you like to see.

My Special Announcement Is Finally here........

Happy Sunday everyone!!!  I know you have all been wondering what my BIG ANNOUNCEMENT is going to be - You have all had sleepless nights just thinking about it (I really doubt that!!)

Well here it is...................................................

Today marks the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of when I started my blog!!!!  I can't believe it has been a full year.  Time goes by so fast.  Having this blog has been so much fun for me and I hope all of you have enjoyed the projects that I have created over the past year.

Below is a photo of some blog candy that I have to give away in honor of my one-year anniversary.  In order to win the blog candy I would like all of you to browse through my blog and let me know the one project that has really "Wow"ed you.   It could be a project from 6 months ago or even a more recent project.  I really like getting feedback from readers so that I know that you are out there.

I am flying out this morning (6:30 a.m. flight) to Chicago to attend CHA.  I will be working the JustRite booth.  I am super excited because I will be getting to see all of the new stuff coming out this Fall.  I am going to keep the blog candy going until I get back on Thursday night.  I will choose the winner on Saturday July 31 via Random.Org.

I look forward to hearing all of your comments and finding out what you have really liked over this past year.  I also look forward to many more years of blogging with you. 

Have a wonderful week!!!!!

Well, after struggling, your card turned out great! Love how you made your golf balls. May have to borrow that idea, as my hubby just began golfing occasionally after many, many years.
