Easter Card & BLOG CANDY ALERT!!!

I finally got around to making a card for Nicola's sketch #6. Nicola's My Paper World site is fantastic. You should definitely try out one of her sketches.


I stamped a Easter bunny on pale green cardstock, and I used colored pencils and gamsol to color him in. I matted the image and placed the image on top of Provo Craft patterned paper panels. I tied a pale green ribbon around the card front (bad light today -- you can't see the pale green), and then I finished it up by adding a gorgeous purple felt flower and a rhinestone. I got the felt flower from Nicola! Thanks Nicola! I love them! What an awesome sketch!

Next, whoop, whoop, blog candy alert! Blog candy alert!! I'm giving away TWO sets of blog candy!!


Here's the first selection. Some Making Memories Funky Vintage flocked labels & ephemera stickers (ruby, 41 stickers), Autumn Leaves clear stamps (winter holidays by tia bennett), and Marcella by K fresh paint adhesive transfer (adhesive rub-on, just transfer and glitter, 1 sheet, 98 pieces).


Here's the second set of blog candy. Making Memories foam stamps (floral/dingbat - 12 stamps - you can only see half of the foam stamps), Making Memories funky vintage labels and stickers (also seen above in the first selection), and Autumn Leaves Mod Design "blackbird" epoxy stickers.

So, what do you need to do? First off, you have to tell me WHICH blog candy you would prefer. Would you prefer #1 with the acrylic stamps, or #2 with the foam stamps. You can't tell me that you love them both, you have to pick one. Just by leaving me a comment with your choice, you are entered.

Now, if you would like an additional chance (for example: you like them both, you pick #1, but you would really like a chance to win #2 also, or you would like TWO chances to win #1, or you would like TWO chances to win #2), you must post a current photo of yourself in a blog entry. I want a "this is me today" photo post. I'm very visual, and I would LOVE to see what you look like! Many of you have photos of yourself on your blogs, and many of you don't, but what I want is a "TODAY" photo! Come on, you can do it!!

Then if you want even another chance (but you must do the photo first!!), you can create a card or a layout that is inspired by an ad in a magazine. I'm going to try to get to an example today! The ad can inspire you with its font, its colors, its layout . . . something in the ad must inspire you to create a card or a layout. (HINT: Use a scrapbooking magazine -- the ads are fantastic!)

So, lots of rules? Nah, not so much! Just by leaving a comment with your choice, you're entered, and the rest of it is just for FUN! I would really LOVE to see the photos, so please consider posting a current picture of YOU! I can think of many blog friends that I have, and I have no idea what you look like! I would love to see the face behind the creations!!!

My birthday is on Tuesday, and I was going to give away both sets of candy on the 25th, but that doesn't really give you a lot of time. SO, I will give them both away on Sunday, March 30th, and I will get them in the mail to you on Monday, March 31st!! Everyone can enter! I will ship to you no matter what continent you live on!!

So, enter away, and TAKE THAT PHOTO OF YOU!! I want to see YOU!!

Today is the first day of spring break for my girls, and it's snowing outside! Hello!?! We aren't supposed to get too much today, but I would be happy with none at all! I'll be back tomorrow with a FUNNY card that I made for a challenge! Thanks for stopping by!!
