Buncha Tags and Candy!

Ok, this is a quick post for today- as I am doing some travel this week and so limited on time. But I did want to give you a little incentive to be working on your holiday gift tags this week. I have found I do not buy these anymore b/c I can make them so quickly. I use either by top note die or my nestabilities and I have a nice size tag base. Then the fun........... adding the paper and glitter. So my challenge to you today is to work on getting those tags done............ and post a link here if you would like some love on them! I love to see tags and get new ideas!

Matter of fact- do you need tags? I will send out a package of tags (may not be these exact tags) to one winner. All I ask is that you post a picture of my candy on your block and link it here with a little love for me by Saturday 12/5 11:59pm and I will draw a winner and post by Sunday 12/6 at 10pm.

Blog Candy X3- Oh My!

Ok, can you so YUMMY? Julie over at ABC toys and crafts is hosting BLOG CANDY and she is giving away THREE, yes I said 3 sets of Martha Steward PUnches. The offer ends tomorrow so you better hurry on over there and check it out NOW!

Hope to see you all join us!

Ok one more Party Dragon.......... hee hee hee! I had to do this one to match the paper. This paper is Basic Grey Cupcake line and it is fun and bright and Kelly at KLSNS had sent it to me a month or so ago and I just had to use some more of it. Of course I stamped the image with Memento tuxedo black and colored it with my coordinating copics. I have really been working on my highlighting and blending- can you all tell yet? I think that I can: especially on his shirt and then on the cupcake I think. My card is a 5x5 card with a SU pumpkin pie base and a little SU mellow moss thrown in there. The hard part with this card? I don't have any little boys to give it to.... is that sad?

Oh and one last thing- do you want to win some SWEET Blog Candy- here is a picture of what you get- just sign up here on the KLSNS blog and you will be entered to win! You will get a CB folder and a Rachelle Anne Miller stamps and some other goodies- definately worth the trip over there!

I am so sorry that I have nothing up for today, I had intended on crafting last evening but I got really sick with a migraine and it just did not happen. If I had, you all would have laughed at whatever I would have made- believe me when I say this.

So today I am going to give out the Faithful Servant award to a couple of gals that really are faithful servants of God. I read their blogs and not only do I get creative vibes from them but I truly know they are women of faith, they spread the word in their creativity and in their words, always upbeat and true. I thank them.


Please check out these ladies wonderful blogs:

Along with this you will get a pack of images which will include Sarah Kay, Magnolia's, Gruffies, House Mouse, Riley the Moose (Hannah Stamps), Whipper Snappers and Precious Moments. There will be approximately 40-50 images and I may be able to personalize some (ones that are not stamped yet) to include ones requested.

So Sweeeeeeeet!

I don't know about you all but this has been a fabulous summer here in Michigan, the weather has surely shown us what it can be like. We've had no rain in like 6 weeks, yeah- I know it is not good for the farming community but for those of us who love the heat and sun, it has been a dream. So yesterday and today it has been in the low 70's and it has rained and been a little gloomy, don't get me wrong because I know we need some relief but it also is a sign of the end of summer (along with the kids going back to school). So this card is in honor of the end of summer. This is a CC designs set and I used DCWV paper pack and layered on my celery SU paper. I colored this cute little monkey and his messy ice cream with my copics. I just love the bright colors and the summer memories. That would not be me in the tree but one of my kids! LOL. Okay, maybe I am just into sweets this week, by the looks of my cards. I bought these cute little epoxy stickers at JoAnn's this week. I had been eyeballing them for about a month and put it off cause I don't really need them but just gave in. They also remind me of my niece who is into drawing ice cream, cupcakes, etc.... and so this card I made for her. I will send it to her in the next month or so with some other goodies. I am also going to use my card scents cupcake to put in it so it smells yummy for her. The yellow paper is from the SU designer series and the red check is some that was sent to me. As you can see, I used the sentiment from the CCdesigns set as well.

BLOG CANDY: I have to share this with you, I found these sweet stamps and they are having some blog candy. Check out Spiralwhisper and see their new releases! They are so cute.

Kreativ Kristin is giving away awesome goodies! Plus look at her awesome work.

What is Blog Candy?

Good morning ladies! I just wanted to share with a few of you, for those that are stuck on what blog candy is. I mean, can you eat it? No Can you unwrap it? Well, I guess you can if YOU win it! Can you buy it at the store? Once again- possibly but really, who wants to buy it if YOU can win it!

A lot of wonderfully creative ladies are out there and they offer wonderful little packages of goodies to you- a thank you for visiting their blog. Now, I typically sign up for blog candy if it is a site that I frequent or that I really find creative motivation from that person. It is also a great way to get new viewers to your blog- lets be honest here. But I think that the real thing is that we all like to "give" to others............... and sheesh, who doesn't like to get a little prize here and there, right? (hand waving in air!).

So as you check out my blog- check out those wonderfully creative ladies on my blog candy roll call to the right and who knows what you might win. I added Piper, Jacqui, and Hanne to my list yesterday and today!

Have a good one and I will be back later to show a card I made with 2 new SU colors!
