Contest and CANDY and some cards!

A huge contest has been announced by Purple Cows! Details HERE. 


There's also an in-house competition amongst the DT, basically, whomever gets the most people to follow their blog/fanpage on Facebook, gets a big cash prize. So, I'm just doing my little part here by asking you for a teeny bit of help. If I win any money, it's all going to my girls' college fund!

That's it, and then come back here letting me know you've done so. 


Here's the candy part!


Many of you know that I have been cleaning and downsizing my craft area to make room for baby. In return for your help, regardless of whether I win anything or not, I will put together a big package of goodies and ship it to one random winner. I'm not sure what the box will consist of yet, but I'm thinking stamps, paper, ribbon and whatever I can fit in there!


And finally, to end this post.. I leave you with some quick and easy holiday cards. I pounded out about 10 of these in an hour!!





Here's a closer look





I first stamped the dots background in Versamark. Then stamped the cute reindeer image over it. The reindeer was then stamped on a cream cardstock. Only the head and body were paper pierced. I did some light coloring with my prismas to give the reindeer some dimension. Finally, Stickles were applied to random dots to give it a snowy, starry effect. That's it! So easy! You just need to give the Stickles time to dry. :)


Okay, back to some serious bed rest... my first daughter Audrey was born at 35.6 weeks THREE YEARS AGO and I am 35.6 weeks pregnant today as well! (LOL Vanessa!)

My Cute Stamps Galore!

Here's a cuteness overload post....... lately, without myself participating so much in challenges and simply keeping up with my DT duties, I have been trying to make more wedding and baby related cards, and of course birthdays. Those seem to be the cards that always get snatched first when my sisters come raid my collection. They don't bother much with any of the other cards I make, lol. Here are some new goodies. :)

Paper tearing with Hero Arts

It's been awhile since I participated in the weekly Hero challenges, this week was simple enough for me to play long with - paper tearing. I can't stay long, but here are my cards!

And yes, still preggo even though I was 3cm dilated last week! I just about can't take it anymore, the pain on my pelvic bone and legs are killing me! ....... but I know the longer baby E is in the oven, the better it is for all of us! Oh wells....... must troop on!

I'll be autoposting a bunch of stuff for the next month. Stay tuned...
