Yay!! Blog candy time!!  Because I feel guilty for being MIA for a while and missing and loosing some e-mail and a few other things....I wanted to offer something special to my followers!!   Besides, I've noticed recently that I've broken that 300 mark!! That is so awesome!  Thanks for hanging with me!! :)

I so appreciate you guys sticking with me through all the things we've had happen on this little spot in the blogasphere! :)  I'm lucky to have met some really wonderful people here!!  So I just want to put out a little "somethin somethin" for you all!!

1 6x6 paper pad of cardstock/designer paper from Paper Salon

Sugar Nellie "Winter Wonderland" stamp

glitter rose bookplate pkg. (set of 2)

assorted Prima Hydrandga Flowers in different colors

a bouquet of white Prima roses

Yummy Dove chocolate with caramel centers!! :)

I know several people have asked about the flowers I use and so I thought I'd pass some along to someone who'd like to use some too!!  And now I supposed you want to know how to enter?

1.  Just leave me a comment...any kind except mean ones!! LOL!!

2.  If you're not a follower...why not?! :)

3.  It would be nice to spread the word on your blogs if you could. (HUGS)

I think that's about it!  OH....one more thing is a deadline!  I will keep this post up towards the top of my blog with a chance for people to enter by March 14th.

Thanks to everyone for following and entering!!  Good luck to you!!

 

 This precious cat family is spelling out love for you!!  Isn't this so cute!?  This is another new image that Melanie at *Wink*Wink Ink has come out with recently!  This is called Love Cats.  and what I think it so awesome about this image is that it comes colored of course, but it also comes in silhouette form if you don't want to color in the cats.  And the image is already colored in for you both ways if you decide you want to print it out that way as well.  It's like getting 4-5 different stamps in one!!  She's selling it for only $3.50!!  Makes for a great Valentine/Anniversary style creation I think! :)

I did print this out so that I could color it in myself, got out some DCWV Dress-Up papers and added some flowers which made it look elegant.  I've also created this one for a couple of challenges today:

Midnight Madness - MMSC40

Penny's Challenge - Valentines

Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Floral Freenzy

Digital Tuesday - Animals

Everybody Art Challenge - Valentine

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Hope you are enjoying these new images from *Wink*Wink Ink and you'll be checking them out soon! :)  Don't forget about the design team call going on right now!  They're looking for FIVE DT members!  So if you'd like to design with these adorable images...this is a great way to build a collection of your favorite images and share the fun!! ~ Click HERE for details!

He's such a cutie pie, isn't he?!!  He's the Whimsy Dog & Sign from Whimsy Stamps!   (Here's your sign!)

And if you haven't been in the Whimsy store lately...what are you reading this sign for anyway?!!  GET OVER THERE and check out some new products just added to the store!!  They have some brand new ADORABLE charms!!  (looks like I need to do some shopping myself!)  They have some really sweet charms and even little paw prints that would work wonderfully with this image!! ;)  **Don't forget that when you spend $50 or more, you will receive FREE shipping!**

I've created this card today for the new Whimsy Stamps challenge on the SNR Whimsy Group that started today!  Denise is asking us to make something that resembles "Sweetness & Love"...and if you don't have a Whimsy Stamps image to use, there's a free digi you can download to play along with us!!  So  hop on over there and check it out!!  We'd love to see you using your Whimsy Stamps!! :)

For my card I decided to break out some of the unloved designer papers that I've been hoarding.  I think he looks adorable with the dew drop hearts I've got above his head and on top of the dimensional flower center.  I've also combined this Whimsy Dog & Sign with the Whimsy Ruff Day Sentiments and the Whimsy Simply Said Sentiment sets.  I think it makes for a really sweet Valentine for someone special!! :)  Here are some other challenges that I've combined it with:

Truly Scrumptious - Sketch

Crazy 4 Challenges - Valentine Theme

The Pink Elephant - Mushy Gushy Valentine

Kaboodle - Spots & Stripes

Die Cut Dreams - Have a Heart

Stamp With Fun - Hearts

Hello friends!! It's the weekend and it's "Teeny Tiny Time" at Saturday Spotlight this week!!   If you were around for last week's challenge which was "BIGGER is BETTER", this is the complete opposite of that one! :)  Whatever you create, think tiny, small, miniature and you'll be ready to enter it in this week's challenge!  The Spotlight Divas are thrilled with all of the entries that keep coming each week and we hope that you're having as much fun as we are with the challenges!!

And speaking of all the talented Spotlight Divas, be sure to check out all the fabulous creations that they've come up with for this challenge!! :)  You can click on their names to be taken to their blogs.

For our sponsor this week, we have...

Here's what I came up with for my "teeny tiny" project for this challenge:

I made a set of four 3x3 miniature note cards with envelopes and a miniature tote to put them all in! :)  If you'd like the directions on how to make one of these fun mini tote holders, the instructions can be found HERE AT SCS for the fab tutorial!  It was pretty simple to put together.

And as you see, there's more teeny tiny going here!  Tiny buttons I received from a friend...so cute! :)  I even used a tiny clear stamp set that I got from a friend....love it!!  I've also used some really thin ribbon for my project.  I don't normally use small ribbon, I prefer the BIG yummy ones...LOL!  But I bunched several loops together and attached it to my handle on the tote.

So basically this turned out very small, simple and sweet! :)

I also decided that this would fit in yesterday's Raise the Bar challenge, they want to see hearts.  I hope that teeny tiny ones will work! :)

Hope that you enjoy your SuperBowl Sunday weekend!! The team I was wanting didn't make it to the play-offs...but I do like to watch the game with the boys! (well, and the snacks!!)  Hope you can stop by and play along with us in the challenge at Saturday Spotlight!! Thanks for stopping by!! HUGS

Now, I couldn't let this adorable BnW image "go by" without using the fabby sketch from the Roses on Paper challenge!  I love all the extra "goodies" on it!! So fun! :)
