From One Fashionista To Another and Blog Candy WINNER!!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!! Thank you so much for the well wishes on my injury...all of the prayers and positive thoughts have definitely helped!! The shoulder is feeling better each day. I've kept it iced and immobilized and I haven't had to pop pain pills in two days, which I'm very happy about...I hate having to take them.

I have a card to enter into a couple of challenges today. I had some of the pieces pre-cut, so that helped because I am not very good crafting one-handed :) The paper is from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Madison Avenue stack.

I distressed the edges of the background paper before stitching it to the pink paper. Spellbinders used are Nestabilities Labels 11, Nestabilities Classic Squares Large and Fleur de Lis squares (I just love this die!!). Everything is popped up with foam tape for dimension. Both strips of lace are from The Paper Studio and the crickle ribbon is from Karen of Little Scrap Pieces :)

I used Walnut Distress ink on the edges.

From one fashionista to another is from K Andrew Designs Fashionable Friends stamp set:

BLOG CANDY WINNER!!

And now to announce the winner of my blogaversary giveaway!! I wish I could give something to everyone!! You all are my inspiration and my motivation and I am so thankful to have such amazing blog friends!! I ♥ you all :)

I thought about using Random.org to choose the winner, but I wanted to make sure everyone had the correct number of entries and some people posted my giveaway or blogged about it and didn't leave an extra comment. So I kept track of everyone and printed out all the names. Using my good arm (and some help from friends!!), I/we cut out all the names, tossed them in a box and I had my Mom pick out a name...I wanted to take a picture of my Mom picking out the winning entry, but she wouldn't let me :P And the winner of the box of goodies is.................................................................................

I want to thank everyone again for following me!! I love having giveaways, and I will have at least two more this month, so stay tuned... :)

Happy Friday, everyone!! I hope you are having a great week!! I have a winner to announce from the Wonderful Wilderness Blog Hop, but first, I have a card to enter into a few challenges :) I am trying to get this posted before a major storm hits. We are under a tornado watch until early evening.

All of the paper is from The Paper Studio Uptown Flair stack. I inked all of the edges with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. I used a Spellbinders border die for the scallop under the lace.

The label is a Spellbinders Label 10. The oval in the front is from George and Basic Shapes. I cut one of the flowers from the background paper for decoration and added crystals to the center of all the flowers.

I have no idea who the flower stamp is from. I bought them a while ago - before I started blogging. Since I keep all my clear stamps in a binder, I threw the package away. I used both Victorian Velvet and Forest Moss distress ink on the stamps. "In everything give thanks" is from K Andrew Designs Scripture Sayings stamp set:

Aren't these sentiments beautiful??!! Click HERE to purchase this set or to see the entire line of stamps!!

Child's Valentine Card and WINNER!!

Hi everyone and happy Thursday!! I hope you are having a great day!! I have a winner to announce for my Cricut cartridge giveaway!! But first, I have a card to enter into a couple of challenges...and since I'm giving away a Space Party cart, I thought I'd make my card a space theme!!

The challenge this week at Cooking With Cricut is to make a Valentine card for a child and use the colors red, white and pink. All of the paper is from Core'dinations. The rocket is from Just Because Cards, and I welded the shadows together to make the base of the card. I embossed the red with Swiss Dots and the gray with a folder I have no idea what it is called. It has groups of three dots.

The cute little astronaut is from Life's A Party. I cut him at 2". He is embossed with the Sizzex Diamond embossing folder. I used my Gypsy to cut a hole in the mask so I could stamp the adorable Peachy Keen face, from the PK-754 Critter Faces set. I added a heart from George and Basic Shaes and popped it up with foam tape.

I attached the little astronaut with a homemade wobble or wiggle wire! The inspiration for this was from my dear friend Amy of Love to Crop! If you haven't seen it yet, Amy created a fabulous tutorial on how to make your own wiggle wires! Click HERE to see the tutorial! And then, after you make your own, she has a challenge going on right now on her blog...click HERE to link up your wiggle wire project!!

I used Tim Holtz Fired Brick distress ink. "I love you all the way to the moon & back" is from K Andrew Designs It's Valentines stamp set! I just love this set...there are so many great sentiments and not just for Valentine's day!! You can use this set all year long!! Aren't the lips awesome??!!
