125 followers candy

Hi guys! I saw today that I've reached 125 followers!!! WOW! I'm impressed! :) I must be doing something right as far as my cards and projects go. :)

So I've decided to do a little candy to celebrate. I have this very sweet unmounted stamp  called "A Little Kiss" by Crafter's Companion that needs a new home. With the wedding season just around the corner...this would be perfect for your collection.




If you're interested in winning this stamp...do the following:
1. post a picture of my candy on your blog sidebar to let others know about it
2. leave me a comment on this post
3. you can become a follower of my blog, but it's not a requirement.

I'll run this candy until the end of March and announce the winner soon after. Good luck! :)

Tea Light Candle Card

Hi guys. Today didn't go quite like I had originally planned (and it's not even half over yet!), but it left me with some time at my crafting table. I've wanted to try my hand at making a "Tea Light Candle Holder card". These cards are super cute -- and they're a card and gift all-in-one! How cool is that!??

I found a tutorial on Split Coast Stampers...and set out to try it. There's really not a whole lot to these cards -- just some cutting and scoring. Pretty basic...and very fast to make, despite how complicated they look!!! :)

I started out with some glossy gold cardstock. I scored and cut as the directions indicated in the tutorial. Then I folded it up and stuck it together using some adhesive (added my 3 scented tea light candles first of course).

Using the Fiskars spring Limited Edition Butterfly border punch, I punched a black border and then attached it to the side of my card flap. Then, I inked up a Sweet Stamps "Fanciful Butterflies" punch and stamped two butterflies onto some white cardstock, which I then layered onto some black cardstock. Finally, I also inked up a Fiskars clear stamp sentiment, which I also layered onto some black cardstock.



Using some stamp dimensional foam, I attached the images to my card base.


As you might have noticed, I stamped the 2 butterfly images slightly off the white cardstock. I thought it might be interesting to add more dimension to the card by adding some cut out butterflies on top of the images.



Stamping the same butterfly image onto some white cardstock, I cut out two butterflies and blinged them up a bit.


Finally I attached these butterflies onto my stamped cardstock...lifting the wings off a bit, so they have some dimension.



And my card was complete! It turned out super cute -- and I know I will be making more of these types of cards in the future! They're fun...and just a little something extra. :)


Well, give it a try yourself. You don't have to make a tea light candle holder if you're not into candles. You can fill the little tube with whatever you want -- whether it be candy or some other treats! The possibilities are endless!!! Have fun! :)

products used:
Fiskars Trimmer
Fiskars Spring Limited Edition Butterfly Border Punch
Sweet Stamps "Fanciful Butterflies" stamp
Fiskars clear stamp (not sure of the name)
Bling from stash


Challenges for my card:


Also, I want to share with you a GREAT giveaway! Trudy, over at "True Gifts from the Heart" is celebrating her 4th blogaversary on February 4th. To celebrate, she is sharing with one of her followers (old or new). Check out the prize package! Wouldn't this be fun to win??? :)

Christmas is Coming & Some Giveaways

Hi guys...I'm back with another Christmas card to share with you. This one features ribbon. Ribbon is one embellishment that I love to see on cards, but when I try using it on one of mine, they often don't turn out quite right.



This card actually turned out the way I had it planned in my head. :) Thanks to an online friend, I have the Easy Bow maker to help make the perfect bows.


The Easy Bow Maker doesn't look like a whole lot, but it makes perfect bows every time...and saves lots of time trying to get the bows look pretty. It's definitely a time-saver. :)

Here's the full view of the card:
 



supplies used:

Inkadinkado Christmas Silhouette Stamps
Cuttlebug Folder -- Victorian
Ribbon from Stash
Red Bling



Also want to let you know about an amazing giveaway. Nicole's Stamp Addiction is having a Thank You giveaway -- 50 promarkers!!! I have never used one of these markers, but if you're into using stamped images for your cards, this giveaway is for you! They look like a lot of fun to play around with. :) Her giveaway ends when she reaches 3450 followers -- so head on over to Nicole's Stamp Addiction and sign up. You can't win if you don't try. :)





Also, The Scrapbook Garden is having a fabulous November/December giveaway. Head on over to her blog to get all the details. You could be the winner of this:


I've never actually tried Distress Inks, but from the tutorials I've seen using them, they look like sooooooo much fun! And there so many different ways of using them! I would love to win this! :)




Really Reasonable Ribbon is having a pre-holiday blog candy. I have been the lucky winner of the RRR blog hop twice (they have one every month with an amazing ribbon prize), so from experience I know their ribbons are awesome! They are great quality and great looking too! :) Plus, their pre-holiday giveaway has a lot of extras. Head on over the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog to read all the details.

100 followers candy

Hi peeps! My blog officially has 100+ followers!!! I'm impressed!!! :) I guess I'm doing something right. :p

April is also my birthday month...so I'm combining the two and sending a lucky follower a little something to help me celebrate. :) The candy is a Schoffie's clear stamp that I had in my stash. I won it in a candy awhile back, but it doesn't work for my style of card making. If you're interested in giving this stamp a new home, sign on up!

1.  Would be great if you were a follower of my blog, but is not a requirement...as I only want people to follow if they TRULY want to! Not just to join a candy :p
2.  Leave a comment on this post
3.  Post the picture on your blog (sidebar works too) to let others know about my giveaway.




Due to postage costs, this giveaway is only for Canadian and US bloggers. Sorry.

The giveaway ends at the end of April (April 30)...and I'll draw the winner soon after. :) Good luck to you all!

Love Always Layout

Hi guys! Today I'd like to tell you about a new challenge blog I found. I love these challenge blogs, not just because they do have GREAT prizes, but also because I get inspired by the projects the DT post...and the other bloggers who enter the challenges. It's very cool to see how many different ideas you can get from a simple theme like "Flowers" or "Sentiments only" , etc. I love it! :)
So on to the challenge blog. It's called "Unique Crafter's Challenges". The challenges last for a month...and then they have a draw for a great giveaway! :) Like wow!!! :)


This month the challenge is "Anything Goes". That's pretty simple, eh??? So basically all you have to do is link up your latest project....and you get entered to win the prize! Totally cool. You can enter up to THREE different projects.

Today I am entering a scrapbook layout that I made for an 8x8 album. It's very simple scrapbooking, but I've come to realize that pages can be over-stuffed with embellishments, pictures, etc. I tend to stick to simple pages that let the pictures do the talking...cause for me that's the whole idea of scrapbooking in the first place! :)
Here's my page. It's a two-page layout.

close ups:



Details: 

   ....I hand doodled the butterflie's path...

   ......the quote is a rub-on.......

....I used the Fiskars "In Stitches" border punch to create my own film strip. :)

used:
Colorbok Paper & embellishments
(not sure about the dotten paper)
Fiskars "In Stitches" border punch
rub on quote
Clear/White Bling! :)

As always, I love showcasing great giveaways I find on blogs I follow. It's a chance to win some FABULOUS crafting goodies -- for free -- and it's soo easy to join. All you have to do is go to their blog, and follow the "rules" they have set up for their giveaway. Simple. Easy. And you could be the lucky winner as they are all random draws! How cool is that! :) Here's what you could win:


Interested??? Head on over to The Crafter's Reference Blog and add your name to the linky :)

Scrappy Butterflies

Butterflies. There's just something special about them.  They're beautiful. Peaceful. Elegant. They represent a freedom to me. So when I get a chance to add a butterfly (of any kind) to a scrapbook layout or a card I go for it. ...which is why my cleaning-out-the-scraps card turned out to have so many butterflies on it. :D Yup, stamping them on wasn't good enough -- so I added a few punched out ones as well. Whatcha think???



Lollipop Crafts -- Anything Goes
Paper Play Time -- Anything Goes
Stampin' for the Weekend -- Embossing

Also... if you're always ready to win some calorie-free candy...I have another great blog to tell you about -- Liva's Crafts. Her creations are amazing...and right now if you head her way, you get a chance at some amazing blog candy. :D

Some Candy Goodness

Hi all. :) I'm getting married next month. :) So that means I had to not only clean out my scrap table/corner...but pack it up...and fit it all into boxes!!! Get it all ready to move. And no...I was NOT looking forward to it! But after a lot of procrastinating, I finally took the time and just did it. It wasn't so complicated! LOL

I came across a few goodies that I won in blog candy in the past, but never found a use for. So I've put them all together...and decided to do a blog candy on my own blog.

If you're interested in winning this candy...do the following:
1. post a picture of my candy on your blog sidebar to let others know about it
2. leave me a comment on this post
3. you can become a follower of my blog, but it's not a requirement.

I'll run this candy until Nov. 10th. Good luck! :)

btw, my current followers are already in the drawing...just for being the fabulous followers that you are. :)

For My Little Sis

Hi there! One of my sisters was looking through my cards when she came across my first-ever side-stairs-step card. She loved the idea -- so I figured I'd make a card especially for her! What better reason could one have to make a card??? :)

Here's the card I made. Like the first one I made, it has a tag that you can remove. This time though I added a poem to the tag. TFL.
