50th Birthday Link Up Winner Announcement (It's About Time!!!)

O.M.G. I know I'm busy but this is ridiculous even for me. Do you remember waaaaaaaaay back in April when I had a special link up to celebrate my 50th birthday?!!! Well, I'm finally getting around to announcing the winner for it.

One lucky person who joined the link party will get to choose any ONE of the following (Option 1):
  • Naturally Cool Collection
  • Living on the Edge collection
  • Celebration Mini Kit + Heartland Mini Kit
  • Flower Power Kit
  • Holiday Hoopla Kit
  • Beauty of Butterflies Kit
  • Floral Cats Kit
OR (Option 2) you can choose from the smaller paper kits (not part of a larger bundle) that either have 12 papers or six papers in them for a total of 30 papers: i.e., two sets of 12 + one set of six; OR, one set of 12 + three sets of six; OR five sets of six. Most of these smaller sets are Christmas related though there are some that are spring, rainbows, weather related, textures, glitters, etc.

OR (Option 3) if you'd prefer, you can choose from six different sentiment sets (those listed at the bottom of my 'Design Previews' page, not those that are part of a larger kit).

Thank you so much to the 10 people who joined my Birthday Link Up.

 ...and the lucky winner is...
***DONNA R.***

Donna, please send me an email with the subject heading of, "50th Birthday Link Up Winner" to make arrangements to receive your prize. Please let me know which option (1, 2 or 3) that you are going with and the name(s) of the kit or sets you have chosen. Hopefully, I'll manage to get it to you sometime before my NEXT birthday comes around!!!

Well folks, that is it for this one. We're edging toward the end of the month so I'm busy behind the scenes as usual. Take care everyone and enjoy these final few days of summer!

Until next time,

Freebie Alert & Card Linky Party: Happy 50th Birthday to Me!

Hello folks. Today is a big milestone for me as I turned 50 at exactly 2:28 p.m. this afternoon. I had wanted to do something really big and special on my blog this year in honour of this astounding occasion but unfortunately, having had to spend so much time tending to my hubs during his recent illness and then having to deal with getting sick myself and taking so long to recover, I haven't had the time to come up with a big plan. In fact I'm still rather far behind and still trying to catch up with all my behind the scenes duties! However, I couldn't let the day go by without at least a little something so I have decided on this.

I am going to have a link party. Link up any BIRTHDAY themed card during the next month for your chance to win any ONE of the following:
  • Naturally Cool Collection
  • Living on the Edge collection
  • Celebration Mini Kit + Heartland Mini Kit
  • Flower Power Kit
  • Holiday Hoopla Kit
  • Beauty of Butterflies Kit
  • Floral Cats Kit
OR you can choose from the smaller paper kits (not part of a larger bundle) that either have 12 papers or six papers in them for a total of 30 papers: i.e., two sets of 12 + one set of six; OR, one set of 12 + three sets of six; OR five sets of six. Most of these smaller sets are Christmas related though there are some that are spring, rainbows, weather related, textures, glitters, etc.

OR if you'd prefer, you can choose from six different sentiment sets (those listed at the bottom of my 'Design Previews' page, not those that are part of a larger kit).

Plus, depending on the number of entries linked up, I may have additional prizes.

If you would like to check and see what these sets look like you can find all of them on the 'Design Previews' page of my blog which can be found HERE or by clicking on the same named tab at the top of my blog.

Now of course, I can't let the day go by without a gift to you all. Those of you who've been with me for a while know that special occasions for me and my family members, mean presents for YOU! So today I bring you this digital paper...

This digital paper is 3600 x 3600 pixels, in jpg format and published at 300 dpi. I've used resources from Sheila Reid (Pixel Scrapper) and Eva-Katerina (Deal Jumbo). To grab it, click the download button to be taken to a download location. In the zip folder you will find a copy of the paper, its preview sheet, the full credit information and my terms of use which are standard to all my folders.

Linky Party Rules

The rules are pretty simple, just like you'd see at any other challenge or link up:
  • Enter using the Link up at the bottom of this post.
  • Entries must be Birthday themed but they can be any type of project you'd like (scrapbooking, digital, card, tag, mixed media, etc.)
  • You can use any image from any company. 
  • Entries are limited to a total of three.
  • No back linking. New creations only.
  • Please list my blog in your post just like you'd normally list any challenge you entered.
  • You must link directly to your post with your entry NOT to your whole blog.
  • I reserve the right to remove or disqualify any entry that does not meet the concept of this link up or the rules.

***Bonus Entry***

You can earn a bonus entry by doing the following:
  • If you use the above digi paper, or ANY other of my designs (paper, sentiment, embellishments, etc.), you will earn TWO entries for the prize. Be sure to add DDD after your name if you have used one of my designs. I have so many of them out there, I may not automatically recognize my work on your creation.

Well that should about cover it. I need to go and get ready for supper out with my hubby and a couple close friends. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your day. I certainly plan to!!!

Until next time,

Card Design: Delightful Inspiration August Challenge

It is time for me to post my card for the Delightful Inspiration progressive stamp of the month challenge.  In order to enter this challenge, you must either have received the latest image by having participated in the previous month or you can buy the stamp for the current month's challenge.  Everyone who enters and follows the rules is a winner because you automatically get the stamp for the next month's challenge.  Stop by the site and check out the rules for yourself.  While you are there, have a look around.  They have some really great images.  Below you will find the card I'm entering for the August challenge.

Here are my card and details, I hope I haven't forgotten anything...

General Information:
  • Phew...wasn't sure I was going to get this one done and in on time.  I've just a few hours to go before the challenge closes.  I haven't had to push it this close in a couple of months and I hate the feeling.  Here's my advice.  DON'T GET SICK! It really does bad things with your time management.
  • This card has a long journey to make so I wanted to keep it pretty flat. 
  • I also wanted the opportunity to use up some of my scraps so I decided to create a number of flags or pennants or whatever you want to call them and kept things pretty clean and simple.
  • There are a couple people I know celebrating 50th birthdays soon.  I thought that this image and sentiment were 'purrfect' for the occasion.
 FRONT 
Digital Image:
  • The image on the front, Cat's out of the Bag, is available for purchase over at Delightful Inspirations.  Click HERE to go to its location in the store.  It is just too cute for its own good!
    • The majority of the image was coloured with Copics.   Cat:  YR000, YR00, YR02, Colourless blender, N0, C3, R20, R22.  Mice:  Colourless blender, N0, C3, R20, R22.  Bag: BG10, BG15.
    •  The sky and grass were added in with chalks.
Digital Sentiment:
  • Cat's out of the Bag:  This cute sentiment, perfectly punacious, is part of the great set available from Delightful Inspirations.  Not only do we get a fabulous image each month, we also get some cute sentiments as well.
 INSIDE

Digital Sentiment:
  • Congrats:  Also part of the same set.
  • Rest of the sentiment is just one I whipped up in Publisher.
OVERALL
Paper Products:

  • Card base: Michael's Recollection's Card Set, small.
  • Designer Papers:  Scraps from various pads mentioned in previous posts. 
  • Teal paper used for matting is Michael's open stock scrapbook paper.

Challenges I hope to enter:
Delightful Inspiration -- progressive stamp of the month challenge 
 
Well, that is post number six done for today (two of the posts were for two other blogs).  I think I am done today.  I start again tomorrow so I hope I'll see you then.  EDIT:  Oops, I can't tell time again.  Two of the posts I speak of, one for here and one elsewhere, will be coming out in just a little under two hours so I guess this isn't the last post of today is it? 

Oh and Patti, if you do manage to get back here and are reading this, I hope your bronchitis is gone real soon.  I don't envy you there.  For anyone else who is under the weather, I also wish you a speedy recovery.

Until next time,
