*** Blog Candy Now Closed***

Hi there,

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend and your start to the New Year has been a good one.

To celebrate the anniversary of becoming a UK Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and blogging my creations for the past year, I thought I'd share some Blog Candy from me to you.



Blog Candy includes:

• Level 1 Hostess Stamp Set from the 2008-09 IBC - "Best Yet", set of 6 stamps, sentiments include: a very merry christmas to you, to you from me, a little something for a little someone, the BEST is yet to be, just BECAUSE i Care and so Glad we're friends.
• Certainly Celery 5/8" Poly Twill Ribbon - 10 yards.
• Patterns Designer Series Paper - Certainly Celery (retired). 12 sheets: 2 each of 6 double-sided designs.
• Exclusive Stampin' Up! Shopping Tote Bag - which was sold at the first European Convention and no longer available to buy. The bag is big enough to fit lots of your crafting stash along with 12x12 papers. The design is taken from the Circle Circus stamp set that is available in the current Idea Book & Catalogue.
  

All the above goods are brand new and have not been used.

To be entered into the random draw taking place on Wednesday 3rd February, you must be a UK resident, simply leave a comment and link to your own blog to spread the word about my Blog Candy (if you have one, only one entry per person please), and if you'd like to become a follower, click a button or two, which would be appreciated :)

Good luck! This offer will end on Wednesday 3 February at 7pm. I will contact the winner this evening for their details and will post the goodies out on Thursday 4 February.

Bye for now,

Alex

Happy Friday!

Hi all,

Hope you've had a good week and looking forward to the weekend :)

Wanted to use my much neglected "All In The Family" stamp set and after having a look online I was inspired by cutiepiecards, so decided to CASE this.

I decided to add a tree in the background using another neglected stamp set from the Mini Catalogue called "Forest Friends" with my Stampin' Write Markers. I also made some grass by snipping the Certainly Celery cardstock vertically and added matching Certainly Celery poly-twill ribbbon (the ribbon that's offered in my Blog Candy). Lastly used my new "Choo Choo" stamp set to add some clouds to the card with 3D Dimensionals.

Here's the finished card:



Stamps: All In The Family, Forest Friends and Choo Choo.
Cardstock: Ballet Blue, Real Red, Whisper White and Certainly Celery.
Ink Pad: Basic Grey and Bashful Blue.
Accessories: Stampin' Write Markers - Chocolate Chip, Garden Green, Blush Blossom and Ballet Blue. Certainly Celery Poly-Twill Ribbon. Large Tag Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, 3D Dimensionals and Bone Folder.
Card Size: A6.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Please feel free to leave me a comment if you have time.

Have a great weekend and be back later tomorrow to reveal my Workshop cards.

Bye for now,

Alex
