Some Thanks and a GIVEAWAY!!

Happy Friday bloggie friends!! I hope you have fun plans for the weekend!! How about a giveaway?? But first, I have a tag to share with you and some people to thank :)

I want to sincerely thank Tara and April of Crafty Desert Divas...I won their huge summer giveaway of a whole ton of awesome goodies!! They are so generous...there was so much in the package, I was in awe!! I can't wait to play with it all!! I used some of the gems and the pin frog they sent on today's project. Thank you again, Tara and April...I appreciate it so much :)


Isn't this the most gorgeous mermaid ever?? I went to my mailbox today and found her inside, thanks to my very dear and sweet friend Pam of Craftycards4u2!! What an unexpected, happy surprise!! I absolutely LOVE, LOVE her!! Thank you so much, Pam!! You are so thoughtful and kind, and I am so thankful for your friendship :)

For the tag, I used Weathered Wood and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for the background. The waves were stenciled on with Broken China and the edges were inked with Stormy Sky and Faded Jeans. The mermaid was stamped with Black Soot and then embossed with holographic embossing powder.


I tried to get a picture of the incredible multi-color shimmer of the holographic powder, but it just wouldn't show up. She really sparkles in person. I used watercolor pencils to color her. "For with God, nothing is impossible" is from K Andrew Designs Scripture Sayings stamp set. Click HERE to purchase this set or to see her entire fabulous line of stamps.

1,000 Follower Giveaway!!

I never dreamed when I started my blog that I would have one follower, let alone almost 1,000!! It blows my mind!! I am so honored that you all choose to follow me :) To show my appreciation, I am giving away a few of my favorite things:

1 set of Spellbinders Labels 18 Dies
1 Cricut Rock Princess Cart
1 Quick Kutz Geometric Circles Embossing Folder
1 6x6 My Mind's Eye All Spice Paper Pad

I am only 12 away from 1,000, so if I hit that magic number, I'll throw in:

Hot Off the Press Mix Your Messages Stamp Set

All you have to do to be eligible to win is:
  1. Be a blog follower
  2. Leave a comment on this post
That's it!! For extra chances to win, you can:
  1. Post about this on your blog, FB or put the above picture of the giveaway on your sidebar
  2. Like my Facebook page (the Like button is on my left sidebar under followers)
So that's three chances total!! Please leave a separate comment if you choose to do either of the two extra chances (or if you already Like my FB page). The giveaway will be open until midnight, August 31st. I will select a winner on Saturday, September 1st.

Thank you again for following me!! Have a great weekend :)
