Blog candy giveaway!!!

Wow, time has flown by this year.  My blog views are at 24,662 as of Thursday July 31, 2014.  It has been 5 years that I have been blogging.  I didn't think anyone would want to follow my blog, but I wanted to try.  I want to say Thank you all for following me.  I will be giving away some blog candy when the site views hit 25,000 hits, that is only a little over 300 hits from now. So keep watching my site and leave me comments on the new artwork and I will announce the winner of the blog candy, when we reach our goal.

This year my artwork has been minimal.  I have been struggling with health issues, but I think I am finally on the upper side of the hill. I promise you that will be changing and I will have some new artwork very soon.   I have been working on some items for my Annual Inspirations Kick-Off party.  My Guest Designers Dawn Jedda and Tarina Lafollette are helping me again.  Can't wait to see what they create.

I created a card today for my husband cousin who recently got married and we were unable to attend the celebration.  Yes it's late, but better than not getting one out.  It's an easel card.

I used Skylark paper and the Cricut.  I also used our new Scallop border punch.

Don't forget to leave a comment so I can add your name to the drawing for the blog candy.

Happy Scrappin',

We hosted our semi-annual Idea Book Kick-Off Party tonight.

I have been very busy creating for our Kick-Off party and tonight I was so happy to see others get to take the items home and enjoy them.  Here is what I have been working on that I couldn't share until tonight.

 I made this bag using the Ariana Paper pack. I also added some paper from the Ivy Lane paper pack. It was so much fun to make.  

 I didn't get the little fox stamp of the month, so I made a punch art fox for the cupcake toppers.

 It's not an exact replica of the Wheel of Fortune, but we used this spinner to play the game.  The ladies all had fun.

This is just one of the 2 Hot Air Balloons that Dawn Tarina and I made last week.  They were so much fun.  The paper pack is called Ariana and I found a free SVG cut file on Google.  It has a little basket that I filled with candy and a ticket for 2 little gifts from a basket of stuff.  

 This Balloon was made using the Jubilee paper pack.  It has the feel of Fair time to me.  I didn't even get a finished pic of the Balloon.  I had little ropes hanging from the sides with banners in the middle where the ropes hang down.  A new lady joined our Meetup group and she won it tonight at the Idea Book kick off party.

Steve Painted the Balloons on my nails for me for the Party.

Last week I finally finished my Thank You cards for all the wonderful people who came to my party. This is one of  the cards. I made these three cards using the Skylark paper pack to make this is one of them.

 Charlie's Grandmother's birthday was the 25th of January and this is the card I sent to her. I used the Skylark paper on this one too.

 I decided to use the Dessert Sand in place of the Lagoon.  I really like how they turned out.

I made this card using the Laughing Lola paper pack and some SVG cut files that I found on the internet. I hope everyone liked their cards.

Happy Scrappin',
