A Sweet Celebration and a Birthday GIVEAWAY!!!

Hi there!

I know it's Valentine's Day, but it also happens to be my birthday as well! So I thought I would share a fun little card and host a GIVEAWAY!!!

Today I made my card using some fabby Wilson Designs stamps using the cake from Strawberry Lemonade and A Sweet Celebration sentiment from Sweet Celebrations.

I stamped the cake multiple times, embossed the top layer, and fussy cut and paper piece onto my circular die cuts using foam adhesive. I love love red and aqua together.  I added a fun aqua polka dot ribbon down the center of my red panel.

I stamped A sweet celebration sentiment in Real Red ink and cut into a banner strip as the final touch.

Now for the fun part....

In honor of my visitors who stop by and sprinkle some love I thought my birthday would be a great time to give back by celebrating with a little giveaway.

How can you win? Well you could have several chances.

1) Just leave a comment. :-) (easy peasy huh)

2) Leave me a comment telling me ways you like to celebrate your birthday.

3) You don't have to follow my blog to win, but I sure would appreciate it if you would. For another entry, leave me another comment telling me you are NOW a follower or ALREADY one.

4) Post a link about the giveaway on your blog linking back to this post and you may leave another comment with the post link.

That is 4 chances to win. What could you win you ask?  A Scoot Away With Me stamp set from Wilson Designs.

You have until February 29th 11:59 EST to enter.  I will choose a winner via Random.org on March 1st. Please make sure I have a way to contact you if you are the winner.

I am going to add the Sweet Celebrations card over at The Kraft Journal: Color Me Red - Yes, I know I have aqua, but since I see one of their DT members likes red and aqua too I am hoping it will be ok! :-). How about playing over at CAS-ual Fridays...Love Ya To Pieces.

Since it's my birthday, and I was a good girl by using papers from my snippet pile, I thought I would play on the swings at Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge. :-) 

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Happy Valentine's Day!

What a Sweetie...

Hello and Happy February First to YOU!

Today I wanted to create a thank you card, so I used Wilson Designs Sweet Celebrations  and combined it with some patterned paper from my stash. Last week I got started on a tag kick, and I guess I have not been able to kick it either. *grins*. They are just so fun to create.

I stamped and fussy cut the ice cream cone and piled it on with a cherry on top! It's unseasonably warm here, so I am up for one of these yummy cones for sure...now if only it would stay like this!

I used the color inspiration from Colourq Challenge.

And I am having another go at Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge and Simon Says: Anything Goes Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Wednesday!

Fun Sketch right!

Here is a close up view of the snow!

I just love this set by Wilson Designs.  It's so versatile! At this time, Kim is taking some time off from releasing new sets, but is filling orders on currently stocked items. I also wanted to take this opportunity to say that Kim is an amazing designer, and I have enjoyed working for her so much!

I am also adding this to the fabulous Jules Crafty Snippet Challenge since a majority of this card was created from scraps! 

Thanks to Julie, I am also playing along with (new to me) Christmas Stampin' All Year Long: Non-Traditional Colors.  Thank you Julie!

I had fun with some non-traditional colors again! Don't be surprised if you see that frequently from me! :-)

Well, one more Christmas card down! Yipee!

Thanks for stopping on by!

Off The Wall Craftiness 57 Shore Miss You!

Hello there! I am so happy you stopped by today! I know my post are very few right now because of all the home improvement projects, but it does make me REALLY happy when my friends stop by.  

Let's get to the card I have to share with you for the new Off The Wall Craftiness "theme" challenge, but first take a look at this wonderful inspiration photo! NO colors this week, but a beach theme, so let those creative juices flow! 

My card features various images from several of the fabulous Wilson Designs stamp line. I had a little fun and created a little beach scene. (Wishing I was there in this 100 degree plus weather we have been experiencing L). The paper pieced beach hut, surfboard and sentiment Shore Miss You is from Wilson Designs Teeny Bikini.  The sentiment banner is from the brand new release Sweet Celebrations. I took the background hearts from Ride Away With Me to create a pattern in my clouds which is also from Ride Away With Me. 

Until next time, you'll want to be sure to head over to Off The Wall Craftiness for more information on OTWC57 challenge and don't forget to check out the other design team creations! 

I guess I better get back to the house projects, but before I go, I am going to send this over to Jules Snippet Challenge since this card was created entirely from my scrap bag.

Hope you come play along with us at Off The Wall Craftiness!

Wilson Designs July Release Day!

Hi ya!

Today is the day for the July Release for Wilson Designs.  I know you are going to love both sets!  I've got two more samples to show you.

I just love this Cake! It is sooooo fun to create/decorate this Yummy focal image. I am just smitten! Think how nice it would be to send a card like this who did well on their test or finals or did well in a friendly competition. How about to someone going through a medical procedure they were dreading, but did great!
So, without further ado let's introduce you to this first set.

Strawberry Lemonade 

Oh my, there are so many fun images to play with and great sentiments too! What do you think?

Now let's go to set two. 

Now this Ice Cream Truck is just too cute and I heart this fluffy ice cream cone! I also LURVE this sentiment because it can be used for so many celebrations...birthdays, anniversaries, retirement, graduation, promotions the list can go on.

Now I would like to introduce you to the second set!

Sweet Celebrations

This release is fantastic for summer, and you will not be disappointed.  Remember the first person to make a purchase of the new release receives the next release free.  Now it's your turn to hop on over to the other design team blogs and see what they have created.  You will be glad you did! Don't forget to comment on the design team blogs for your chance to win!

Thanks for spending some of your time with me!  Better get back to painting and those home improvement projects!  We may have most of it done by fall! Eek!
