Blog Candy Giveaway!


I am giving away the items shown here in the picture to celebrate my 1000th blog post. Simply leave a comment and a way to contact you if you don't have a blog and my son will draw a random name next Sunday, April 10th.
I have been asked what I do with all of the cards that I have created :)
I have donated approximately 6oo cards to our troops through Operation Write Home and various other card drives that collect cards for our troops to send home to their families. These men and women do so much for us, I feel it is a little something I can personally do to show my appreciation. The rest of the cards I am saving to maybe open up a little on line card shop someday soon!
Happy stamping and thanks again for taking the time to come and visit me!

My Final Cake Class


We completed our Wilton Basic Decorating class yesterday and this was my first completed decorated cake. What a lot of fun!

Challenge Combinations


The Three Amigas are having another virtual stamping challenge and you are welcome to join us. Julie would like you to use something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.
Sharon challenged us to make a quilted card, the how to can be found in the Splitcoast Resources tutorial section.My challenge is to make an Easter treat holder of any kind. I will get my samples up as soon as I can. I think my "borrowed" item for this card was time. I was supposed to be painting the Rec Room but made a card instead.
This is also for today's challenge to use flowers and for this week's sketch.
All supplies are Stampin' Up: Greenhouse Gala paper with Baja, Saffron, and Soft Suede cardstocks, half pearls, Boho Blossoms punch, markers and pastels, Baja seam binding ribbon.

For today's color challenge of Marina Mist, Baja, and Celery and the Mojo Monday sketch.

Oldies But Goodies Blog Hop




I hope you can join us on our Design Divas hop today! We will revisit some of our oldies but goodies. I'm sure we all have some of those treasures we will never part with!
I used a retired Stampin' Up set called Close To Nature. I kept it simple, embossing the white cardstock with the Bella Toile background stamp and a Happy Birthday sentiment with some silver hardware. All supplies are SU.

You should have arrived here from Maria's blog.
Your next stop will be to see what Karen has made for you today. Enjoy the hop!
