Another Cute Stamp from Belles N Whistles

Have you noticed the new logo on my right sidebar?  I am a huge believer in the bone marrow registry, and encourage anyone who is interested to get involved.  You can click on the logo for more information, or I would be happy to tell you what I know, just email me.  This is something that is near and dear to my heart and I hope someday I will be lucky enough to be called to help someone.

I am excited to say tomorrow I am going to a crop for the day with a new friend.  We have talked via email, but this will be the first time we meet "in person" My husband is laughing at all the supplies I have stuffed in my tote.  So maybe I will soon have some projects of my own to share with you.  In the meantime I will show you some wonderful work from a member of the stores design team.

Cheryl made this beautiful card with one of the Belles N Whistles stamps available HERE.  Eden with Teddy.


I just love Cheryl's sewing.

I have been neglecting the wonderful gals who design cards for me, and want to share another card by Cheryl.
She used a cute little owl stamp from Kaisercraft, and it is only 3.00!!
She also used the Spellbinders Eyelet Squares die.
Thanks Cheryl, for sharing all your beautiful work!

Thanks for stopping,
Michelle

New Card.... Belles and Whistles

I have another card to share with you.  I just love this stamp Snow Gear Snowbaby from Belles N Whistles.
I have to admit this card is rather simple, and was a quickie to make. But I am sure I will find someone who will appreciate this card. 

My sister and I both have a birthday coming up this month, maybe she will get this card? (We share the same birthday....16 years apart..yep I am the oldest)  She is celebrating a big one... she will be 30, so do the math.. YIKES am I really that old?  My little sister is just the cutest gal.  Really pretty and a sweet young lady who has been going through a rough time, having broke her foot, and having to spend 8 weeks in a cast is bad enough, but she makes her living as a waitress, so it has been doubly hard being off work. AND she is single, so the sole breadwinner when it comes to paying bills. I cannot imagine how hard it has to be right now in this snow and ice to be on crutches.
Here is a picture of Nicole (left) and my niece.


Okay enough about my beautiful little sister.  Here is my card, as you can see it is quite simple, a little bling, ribbon and my copics, and you are good to go.  The sentiment stamp is from The Pixie Cottage.



I would like to enter this card in a few challenges.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great night!

Blog Candy Winner and NEW Blog Candy

Happy February to everyone.  I don't know about you but I am sick and tired of winter. Today we had that lovely storm and 1" thick ice covering our driveway, porch etc.  I don't know about the streets, because I will not be leaving home.  My daughter was called off school again, so she was pleased.

I wanted to announce the winner of the January Blog Candy.  A beautiful Belles and Whistles stamp by Elisabeth Bell.  The winner is (drum roll please)
Lisa from Lisa's Paper Fun. Lisa please email me with your postal address. (thepixiecottage@aol.com)

Now onto February!!!  Well this month is a special month for me because I am having a birthday, so I want to give an extra special prize this month.  I am sure some of you are like me and waiting patiently (or not so patiently) for the new goodies just released at CHA Winter in Los Angeles.  So of course that should be the blog candy right? 

First of all here is what you must do. 
You have till February 28th to do this.
1. Become a follower here (if not already one)
2. Post the picture on your blog with a link back to this post.

3. Leave a comment here and tell me which candy you would want.

Now for the candy......
Your choice of the following:

12 NEW Copic Sketch Markers (Yes these are the newest colors!!)
if you have already ordered these from me as a preorder, you can pick 12 other Sketch markers, or if you prefer Ciao markers you can pick 12 of them.


OR your choice of one of the new Spellbinders just released (samples of some below)


Some of these items have not shipped from manufacturers yet, so there might be a short wait on getting them to you. I am at the mercy of the companies meeting their estimated shipping dates.
I will pick two winners sometime after the end of the month and post the winners here. So please check back. Please tell your friends, because if I get over 550 followers by the end of the month I will pick a 3rd winner.
