Just Give Me Stamps...

Seasons Givings Blog Hop...

Welcome to the Seasons Givings Blog Hop!  This hop is going to be a little bit different, in the fact that every single person on the list below, is giving something away.  All you need to do, is go to their blog, and leave a comment.  Really, really easy.  Now grab a cup of coffee, or tea, or maybe some hot chocolate, whatever your favorite is, and start hopping.  

Here is to starting off the year 2013 in a fun way!

Here is a list of what I am giving away...

• Love Note 6 x 6 pad by Fancy Pants
• Blissful Blizzard 6 x 6 pad by Fancy Pants
• Market Square pad by Farm House Paper Company
• Forget-Me-Not 6 1/2" Pad by KaiserCraft

• 3 Rolls of Washi tape by My Mind's Eye, Ki, & Freckled Fawn

All items are new and ready to ship out to you!  Leave your comment here on this post before Sunday, January 6th at 10 pm Eastern Time to be entered to win.  I will announce the winner Monday morning!

There are SO many companies and talented designers participating...you won't want to miss out seeing all the goodies they are giving away!  The next stop on this hop is AJ Otto  but if there is a break in the hop somewhere, the entire list is listed below.  :-)

Before I go, I thought I would share a recently made card with you!  It just **might** end up in the winner's package...you never know!

I used the My Heart stamp set from Watlzingmouse Stamps combined with some yummy patterned paper from Crate Paper!

2012 Favorites Part 2...

Hi friends!  Can you believe it's almost 2013??  This year has certainly held its challenges for us, but I have to say that above all...our family is SO blessed!  Blessed to have a God that really cares for us, blessed to have such an amazing family, and blessed to have friends (a lot that I have never actually met) that were willing to pray and support us during those challenges and trials.  Thank you all SO much!!

How about part 2 of my 2012 favorites?

I Dig You...

Happy Saturday friends!  If you are looking for the Paper Smooches Winner post, please scroll down or click HERE!

Speaking of Paper Smooches, Kim shared one of my cards on the PS blog this past week and I didn't get a chance to share it here yet.

I used the new Woofers & Tweeters set to create my card.  It's hard to tell by my photo, but the stripes are actually a dark brown.  I don't know why they always show up as black in my photo...grrrr!  Anyway, this cute dot would look good with any color!  :-)  I kept the design very simple, choosing to use some fun pops of color to help make my image stand out a little.  :-)  That, and some glitter!  I do love me some glitter!  Teeheee!

Well, back to my stamp room!  I am in a creating frenzy right now (I'll get to show you what I'm makeing a little later)!  So far, the new stuff I've seen peeks of that will be debuting at CHA is DELICOUS!!!!  So fun!

Have a great day!  ~Laurie
