Use It Up! Friday ....

I love this stamp set.

It is one of the few I am hanging on to.

This could be a Flat Card Friday, if you remove the ribbon and basic pearls.

I do seem to gravitate to certain colors in spurts.

Wednesday ...Cards I LOVE

If you have checked out my blog with any regularity you know that I go in phases of super fandom.

I stumble upon these fantastic artists in the Stampin up world, and drool over their work and wish I had an ounce of the the talent they have. I am sure I am not alone in this.

Well, my current attention is directed at Teneale Williams. http://tenealewilliams.com.au/

When I don't think I have another card in me, 

I check out her creations and I re-create a card (or two).

It helps jump start my creativity, and I am able to create my own cards....eventually.

This week I had to make two Teneale cards before I had an original thought in my head.

Some week's are like that.

Today and tomorrow, you will see my Teneale cards.

She is awesome!

Be sure to check out her blog and leave me a comment.

I would love to hear from you!

Friday.....Blog Candy...... Flat Card Friday or Mail Friendly Friday?

On the heels of the blog hop I thought I would want to encourage all of the new visitors to my blog to keep coming back. Beginning today and running until Thursday (one full week) You will see the blog candy picture first, and my daily project next.

Want to enter to win the blog candy?

I will put all of the followers with comments into a random drawing for the blog candy. 

Be sure you are following my blog and have left a comment (what you like/what you want to see more of) between Friday, March 16 and Thursday, March 22.

I will announce the winner on Friday, March 23rd!

Today's project is at the request of my friend (and customer) Kris...

Should we call it:

Flat Card Friday

or 

Mail Friendly Friday?

The point is to create a lovely card you are proud to send without having to pay extra postage.

I thought it was a great idea and maybe this should be a regular thing.

What do you all think?
