♥ Candi Sweets ♥

Happy Day everyone! It's time for another "Anything Goes" Challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! As long as it is a paper creation, we want to see it!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing some fun products by Craftwork Cards! They make the cutest little "Candi" that is actually a think paper "dot" that when applied with some of their adhesives or any mini pop dot, they look exactly like a brad minus the "feet". So you can use them anywhere you like! (They remind me of those "Candy Buttons" I used to eat as a kid!)

I used the cute Sugar Frosting Polka Dots Candi on my card. They are currently out of stock at the moment :( but will be back in shortly! There are many different sweet other styles available though. You can check them out HERE! The fun Papers and Die Cuts are by Crate Paper from The Pier line.

The super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! 

And, as a special promotion Craftwork Cards are also providing this fabulous Card Candi box with an Alphabet stamp set which are the perfect size to stamp onto the candi. How cool is that?!!

So we will have 2 Lucky Winners for this Challenge!! Woo-Hoo!! Good luck to all who enter!

Over at Splitcoast, Simon Says Stamp is hosting a new challenge on the SCS Forum. This month's theme is "Nautical". It runs the entire month of June and the Random winner will receive a Simon Says Stamp Grab Bag! You can see all of the details HERE! :) You still have a few days left to enter!!

Please don't forget to join in with our Send a Card to Maddy Card Drive, Simon Says Stamp has a whopping $100 voucher to give away !! More details HERE. And I also have my own Giveaway too! See post above!! :)

I will announce my lucky Giveaway Winner tomorrow! And my Cards for Maddy Winner will be announced on or around July 1st! ;)

Have a wonderful day!

♥ Party Day ♥

Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you all are having a good week so far! 6 more days until my son starts 1st grade...and my stomach is in knots! I hate that he will be away for a full day now! Am I being selfish? Does anyone else out there feel this way? How do some parents look forward to the day school starts?? I am already looking forward to the last day of school!! :)

Oh, well, onto other things! This is a card I made for this week's City Crafter Challenge called "Bake Sale". It is to include a baked item. So I chose this cute little chipboard cupcake from the Pretty Party line by Crate Paper. I just added some glitter over the top of it.

The papers, oval frame and banner are also from the same line. I added a Papertrey Ink felt tag made form the Tiny Tags Die Set as well as the Tiny Tags Stamp Set. The beautiful aqua colored felt is also by Papertrey Ink.

Speaking of PTI, I'll be right back with another post for their Make It Monday Challenge!

♥ Happy {Inter} National Scrapbooking Day! {a little late}

I hope you all had a wonderful Scrapbooking Day yesterday and found the time to create a little something! I had an unexpected but wonderful visit from family yesterday so I didn't get to make a little something until late last night. But at least I got to make something!!

I made a card using a wonderful challenge from the Pumpkin Spice Blog. It was their first challenge of the day. It was to make a Card - any size, even a mini, with the following elements:

- the color Blue,
- something Round,
- at least 3 layers or 3 different papers

I must admit, I had a lot of fun making this one! I used a mix of papers from Crate Paper and Cosmo Cricket, chipboard pieces also by Crate Paper, handmade stick pins, pearls, lace and seam binding.

You still have some time left to join in on the fun at the Pumpkin Spice Blog! There are challenges there for everything from cardmaking to scrapbooking and more!

Have a wonderful and Blessed Sunday!
