Congrats Deb!!!

I'll be sending you an email shortly for your name and snail mail address!

Thanks everyone for entering!

I Can See Clearly Now....

Thought I would post pics from my Monday night JoAnn's shopping trip!

I found these fabulous felt flowers in the $1 bins!
(This picture was taken under my new daylight lamp, love how vibrant the colors are!!)

And then here is my new Normande Lighting daylight lamp ~ It was only $31 with my 40% off coupon!

Here's a pic of the box in case you are wanting to go find one yourself:


Happy Shopping!!

Happy Tuesday!

Hello and Happy Tuesday!

I'm going to be running around most of the day today so looks like it may be Wednesday before I do the draw for the Blissful Brownies cookbook.

You can enter that drawing HERE!

I finally made it to JoAnns last night to look at the OTT lights. I ended up getting a light by Normande Lighting instead of OTT. My new lamp is still a daylight lamp and I noticed no difference between it and the OTT, except for a better price! I used a 40% off coupon so still got it on sale!
I can't find one online so I hope to get a picture of it later to post here. ...along with some adorable felt flowers I found in the $1 bins!

I also ran by Staples and got my $7 markers as shown in the post below!!

Happy Creating!

Another Great Marker Deal!!

Go HERE to see how you can get these 36 BIC permanent markers for only $7!

Thanks Jamie for the heads up!

I'll draw for the giveaway sometime on Tuesday, enter HERE!


ETA: I got mine Monday night, they are SO PRETTY!! :)

I changed the colors: bordering blue and real red. And stamp/wheel set: the Spring Solitude bundle.

Happy Bird-day!

This is for the color challenge from the Gina K release party.

His tummy and hat are covered in dazzling diamonds.
There is a self-adhesive rhinestone to the left of 'happy bird-day'.

I'm hoping to get up to Kennesaw to the big Jo-Ann's today. The OTT-LITEs are 40% off this week! I'm going to go that route for picture taking instead of a light tent at this point. The OTT will be a welcome addition to my stamp table for stamping and picture taking. Hoping to find a table top one similar to THIS.
Of course, this all depends on the storm that is moving in. Hope it's not a repeat of the tornado in downtown Atlanta last night!

ETA: No JoAnns today, weather kept us away. Maybe next week!

This is for Cammie's Color Challenge over in the Gina K Forum.

Spring Solitude

I just got Spring Solitude yesterday and had to stamp with it immediately!!!

Here is the card that I started out with the Mojo Monday Week #27 sketch mentioned in the below post. It just didn't happen, sort of took a direction of it's own. I really like how it turned out!!

I used the scoring blade on my paper trimmer to score around the two white pieces and the dp piece.
I think I ~~need~~ a scor-pal! ;)

Recipe:
Stamps: Spring Solitude
Paper: White, Chocolate Chip, unknown dp (SU maybe??)
Ink: Real Red, Close to Cocoa, Old Olive
Accessories: scoring blade, ribbon, staples, dimensionals

Mojo Monday Week #27 Sketch

This is for Mojo Monday week #27 over on Julee's blog: Poetic Artistry.

This was my 2nd attempt. For my first go at it, I turned the sketch 90 degrees counterclockwise but then it just went it's on direction! ;) I'll post that card tomorrow.

There is a self adhesive rhinestone at the top of the tower for a little sparkle. The image and fleur de lis brad are embossed in brown.

Thanks for looking!!
