Rainy Day Creations

Let’s start off with the Blog Candy winner!  Random.org has selected:

59. Mary B

“I love reading your blog and seeing your creations. Good luck in the future, and thanks for the chance to win your blog candy!”

I am very appreciative of all your comments of support.  One thing though… I never said that I wasn’t going to continue using SU!  lol  I am just dropping my demonstratorship.  I will admit that I’m having a bit of trouble being inspired by any of their images right now, but this too will pass.  So, the words of encouragement and support were very much appreciated!!  Life is good!  Mary I will be emailing you so that you can send me your set choice and your snail addy.  Congrats!!

Last week I played along in Unity’s Bachelor Bro Challenge #3 to use polka dots and plaids on a project.  Well I love Basic Grey’s June Bug collection, so I used that on my challenge card.  While putting it away… a second card happened!  How fun is that!  lol

The designer paper may be called “June Bug”, but it sure looked like it had Christmas possibilities.  Using some of the scrap and already cut pieces, Polka Dots & Plaid II came together.  I was wishing that I had some lace ribbon that suggested snowflakes, so decided to take a floral lace and clip off part of the design.  What was left? Snowflakes! (sorta)

The sentiment is from Cornish Heritage Farms Mona Lisa Moments “Christmas Expressions”.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.  We are having lots of wind and rain here in Seattle.  Our power and internet has been in and out.  So I’m going to get this posted while I can!  lol

Happy Crafting!

Stamps: Cornish Heritage Farms Mona Lisa Moments “Christmas Expressions”

Recently SU changed their Demonstrator’s Contract to state that if you are a demonstrator for SU you can no longer blog about other craft company’s stamps, papers, accessories… anything that competes with SU.  Well, it didn’t take me any time at all to decide that I would be dropping my demonstratorship.  Goodness, there are SO MANY OTHER WONDERFUL STAMP COMPANIES out there that limiting myself to just one line of product was never even an option for me.

So I have been going through some of my SU stamp sets, both current and retired, and have decided to sell a few of them.  See up there… yup clear up at the top of my blog in the right hand corner.  There is a tab that says STAMPS FOR SALE.  Check it out!

And while you’re at it, leave a comment here on this post.  I will use random.org this Wednesday, October 14th, to choose someone to pick any one set from the stamp sets for sale; and I will send it to you for free!  How fun is that!!

Happy Crafting!

“I have always wanted to swim with the dolphins and the sea lions look like a great bonus. Maybe one day. Looks like you had such a great time. I love the set you are giving away. You make such wonderful projects. Traci”

Congratulations, Traci!  Hope you have many happy moments with your new stuff!

LET’S DO IT AGAIN ONLY BETTER!

In February I offered some of the 2009 SU! SAB sets for Blog Candy.  Well I’ve got one more of the “Polka Dot Punches” set to give away.  But this time I’m also including a brand new pack of the “Delicate Dots” Designer Series Paper AND the “Ribbon Bundle” of 5/8″ Certainly Celery poly-twill and So Saffron grosgrain ribbons!

The Blog Candy is in celebration of one of my best days ever!  I’ve just gotten home from spending Spring Break in Mexico, and I finally got to do something that I’ve wanted to do for years!  I swam with and got hugs and kisses from dolphins and sea lions! It was such a joy to play with these wonderful creatures!!
