Anji's Antics Challenge again

I don't know if this is allowed for the challenge, but I was on a roll today, so I used several more of the images to make cards. My hubby came home from work needing an older gentleman's birthday card, and then a friend's mother just passed away and I needed a sympathy card and I've learned to make more than one of those at a time, and since the challenge ends tonight, I decided to enter these also. If not allowed, I'm sure someone will tell me!

But they are great images, and worked perfectly for me today!

Anji Antics Challenge

Here's a couple Easter cards I made using some of the images from Anji's Antics!

She has wonderful freebies all the time. If you haven't checked them out, you should!

my blog candy winner!!

*** Candy has been claimed and mailed! to the Phillipines!

Here is the candy that will be sent, along with a copy of my son's book - Naked Summer, to the winner of my blog candy........

and the winner is....

Luanne!! of the CraftersReferenceshop.blogspot.com

I will try to send an email, but the winner MUST also respond here on my blog in the comments AND send me their information (mailing address) to: terriavidreader at yahoo dot com.

If I don't hear from the winner with this info by Feb. 22, a new winner will be chosen.

BLOG CANDY TIME!

OK - CANDY is now CLOSED.

I am working with the lists from this time and adding in those who participated before (when I didn't get enough to complete the candy) and will have a winner posted by tomorrow morning! Thanks to all who played.

Just a couple more days to Enter!

Well, I'm giving this Blog Candy another try. I thought for those of you who are suffering through winter, you might like a good read with dreams of summer!

I have a new book, just released this summer, that was written by my oldest son, Andrew Scott. And I'm giving a copy away as blog candy, along with some other crafting goodies that I'm compiling. (I may add a photo of those later)

Now if you signed up for this before when I first tried it as blog candy this summer and then canceled it because not enough people joined in, well your name is on a list and I'll add it again. SO, for those same people, if you want to get a double chance you can also sign up again this time and be entered for the 2nd time, and all others just get one entry! And no matter what, I'll be giving it away this time around as long as 10 people sign up!

This candy runs through Valentine's Day - and I will ship it anywhere. No other requirements, except I'd love to know what book you are currently reading, but it's not required. Please just comment below with a way to reach you should you be the winner!

Digi Darla's Challenge

The new challenge is: Anything but Snow!

And this cute image certainly reflects my wish for that!!

I can't really complain, we haven't had any where near the usual amount of snow here in Indiana - course now that I've said that we'll get tons!

Come over to the challenge and participate. It's fun and there is always a chance at a cute image!

Prairie Fairy and what I love!

The Prairie Fairy has some candy, and she wants to know what I love - well, tons of things, but my favorite is my little granddaughter who just turned 1 year old a couple weeks ago. She's so adorable. And luckily I get to see her often!

Now go check out the Candy for yourself!

Some candy can be found...

Here's what it looks like, and it runs through Feb 27. It's her first candy, and here is the blog: http://livaly.blogspot.com/

Simon Says Stamp

Here's my entry into the Simon Says Stamp challenge using pattern paper. A very CAS card for Valentine's Day.

Clearing your stash?? Special request

I have a special request.

For my fellow bloggers who are currently clearing their stash - please consider sending a package to someone who is in need of start up items to get back to crafting. All I'm asking is you to consider how you'd feel if you were in her shoes. And consider Paying It Forward.

Go here to read a little more: http://revampingoflife.blogspot.com/2012/01/life-changing.html

I was very touched by this posting, as I've gone through some tough times with this crappy economy and still no job, but I've been Extremely Lucky and have won several blog candies in the past couple of years which have helped me a lot, and so I've sent one package off already, and working on another. I do have Tonya's mailing address if you want it and want the items to be a surprise. I really wanted my package to be a surprise, but of course I couldn't - I needed to know where to send it. So if you'd like to surprise her, I've asked and she's agreed I can share her mailing info with those who request it by email (mine is: terriavidreader at yahoo dot com).

Otherwise, please contact Tonya yourself through her blog and get that information.

All I'm asking is: if you have any extras or things that you aren't using, please consider making up a small package and Paying It Forward. Doesn't have to be a large package, as anything is helpful when you are basically starting out. Tonya does have colored pencils and basic card stock but not much of anything else. Think of some things you absolutely have to have, and consider sending one or two. I've already shared some of the freebie digi sites with her too.

And Thank you for considering doing this.

Oh, did I forget to mention, I'm a new DT member for Digi Darla's!! Yipee for me! I'm going to be having some fun with all those images!

My darling Dahlia turns one year old today, but we had her party yesterday because her daddy was off work, and it was the weekend and a better day for most guests.

She loved the special cake her Mama made just for her! A great time was had by all who attended! I don't think she'll be content with the bland baby food stuff any more!

Viva Las Vegas!

There is a post you should see, but be quick... it ends Monday. but there is a FAB prize attached. I wanna win it!

FLLCJANRW2 Challenge

Here's a card I made for the New Year New Release at Flourishes and I'm doing a New Baby card.

Could also work for Valentine's Day, since I had these papers out already!

project pieces

Here are a few of the project pieces I've been working on lately. I have tons of birthdays this month, and although these aren't all finished, they are mostly done which helps when the time comes to get things mailed!

I've also worked a little on some Valentine things too. And used my new cross dies with some shiny papers!
