I’m a Guest Designer and a Give-Away!

 
My Craft Spot

 

Hello and Happy Friday!   I was so excited to be asked to be a Guest Designer for My Craft Spot.    I purchased some of my favorite crinkle ribbon and baker’s twine from My Craft Spot so I jumped at the opportunity to play with some stamps.   Not only that, but Kimberly has generously offered 1 stamp set (of the winner’s choice) to one of my blog readers.  Now how fun is that?

I decided to try my hand at some Christmas cards using the Christmas-themed sentiment set, Mistletoe.  I paired the stamp set up with some of my favorite Christmas papers, some paint and a Starbucks coffee sleeve to make a set of 4 Christmas cards.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a look at all the cards together.  I created a triangle template to use to cut the triangles.  Each tree is 3 layered triangles all stitched together.   I love the dimension created by the trees and the texture from the star border cut from the coffee sleeve.  I was also able to use up plenty of paper scraps.

 

 

Give away information!

Now for the fun part,  one lucky winner will win 1 stamp set of their choice from My Craft Spot.   So what do you have to do?    Simple!  Stop by My Craft Spot and take a look at all the clear stamps. Leave your contact information in the linky tool below including the name of your favorite My Craft Spot stamp set by Monday, October 1st .   (For example:  Cheryl – Mistletoe or Crafter Jane – Happy Fall)   I will use Random.org to pick the winner and post it on my blog on Tuesday, October 2nd.    Kimberly from My Craft Spot will send the stamp set to the winner.  Of course I would love it if you followed my blog and the My Craft Spot blog in your favorite reader, but that is not necessary to win.

 

So what are you waiting for?   Go check out all the great stamps at My Craft Spot.

 

Thank you for stopping by!    Have a great day!

 

Supplies:

  • Stamps:  Mistletoe clear stamp set from My Craft Spot
  • Inks:  Close To My Heart Olive & Cranberry inks
  • Papers:  Papertrey kraft CS, October Afternoon Holiday Style 8x8 DP pad, Starbucks coffee sleeve
  • Tools:  Big Shot, Papertrey canvas impression plate, Papertrey Super Star die, Fiskars edge die, Sewing machine

Catching Up

I feel like I haven’t been able to get online much lately.  Besides being busy, I am having some issues with my laptop.  It sounds like my hard driving is failing so I need to figure out what I’m going to do pretty quick.  Meanwhile, I have been trying to back up all my files.  Knock on wood for me.  I hope I can get a new laptop before this one goes kaput.

 

I also need to announce the winner of the Just Rite Curlz Monogram stamp set.

Blog Candy Winner and Other Stuff

 

 

First, and probably most importantly, I have to announce the lucky winner of the gift certificate to the Whimsy & Stars Studio shop.   (Thank you Mabelle for sponsoring my stop on the Polkadot Door blog hop!)   Thank you to every one who stopped by my blog and signed up to win.

Drumroll please…..

 

 

The random winner is #6 -  Calypso.    

Calypso said that Balloon Baby is her favorite image from the store.     He is a cutie!

 

 

Congratulations Calypso!   Email me at shestamps11-blogs(at)yahoo(dot)com to find out how to collect your $6 GC to the Whimsy & Stars Studio shop.    Happy shopping! 

 

 

I also have a song to share for Music Saves My Soul.  If you would like to play along, link up your blog post to Marcea’s blog.

 

 

 

I had a upsetting episode with my dog, Summer, on Friday.   Very suddenly, she started falling down,  walked almost like she was drunk, and was panting and drooling heavily.   Since she’s almost 14 years old, I freaked out and thought she had a stroke or something.   I called the vet and brought her right in.    After about 2 hours and several tests they diagnosed her with idiopathic peripheral vestibular disease.   In a nut shell, my poor dog has a horrible case of vertigo that may last a couple days or several weeks.  All we can do it try to make her comfortable, give her some anti-nausea meds and hope that it passes quickly.

 

 

desperado2

 

Here is a picture of Summer from a couple of months ago.    Doesn’t she look happy wearing her sombrero?  (Not!)  I like to call this her Desperado look.     (You might recognize this hat from here.)  Let’s hope she is feeling better soon.   

 

That’s it for this week.   I hope you have a fabulous weekend!  Happy Mother’s Day!

Cleaning My Craft Room

Lately, I have seen several bloggers posting some of their excess or no longer wanted supplies on their blogs as give-aways. I really like this idea since it makes some space in my craft room and gives some one else the chance to enjoy some supplies that I no longer use. So in that spirit, I have several paper pads and paper sample packs that I am I would like to share.

All of these have been used, some more than others. All are 6x6. I keep each collection in a separate, quart-sized zip top bag to keep all the bits and pieces together.
Some of the papers included are from:
Bo Bunny – Kitchen Spice sample pack
Echo Park – Life Is Good sample pack
Echo Park – Springtime Collection sample pack
Echo Park – Walk in the Park sample pack
Kaiser Craft – Be Merry Collection pad
Kaiser Craft – Belle Collection pad
My Mind’s Eye – Be-Loved sample pack
My Mind’s Eye – Lost & Found – Market Street pad
SEI – Such a Girl sample pack
Upsy Daisy – Avalanche sample pack
Upsy Daisy – Vogue sample pack
If you would like to give these papers a new home, leave your info in the linky tool below. It would be nice if you follow my blog or leave a comment but it is not necessary. I will pick a random winner on May 15th and announce it on my blog some time that week.

March Followers Candy

March is here. I wanted to put together a St. Patrick’s Day themed candy but never got the chance to get to the craft store. Instead, for March I have two 6x6 My Mind’s Eye paper pads to give to random follower. They may not be be good for St. Patty's Day crafting but they would make some gorgeous spring projects.



The usual rules apply.

1) Please be a follower

2) Leave your name and info in the linky tool below

3 ) I would love it if you would post about my blog candy on your blog or Facebook, but it is not necessary.

4) Leave a comment. It can be anything but I would really love to hear how you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Do you have a favorite dish you serve? Favorite Irish songs? Any other traditions?

Entries close at midnight on 3-30-12. I will use random.org to pick a winner and post the name to my blog with in a week. The winner has 10 days to contact me with their mailing address to claim their prize or I will pick a new winner.


In the spirit of gearing up for St. Patty’s Day, I thought I would share 2 of the recipes that my family loves. Every year I make Guinness-Braised Beef Brisket & Quick Cook Cabbage. I also have a new recipe for Irish Soda Bread that I am going to try this year. As for music, my Irish playlist includes everything from traditional music from the Chieftains and the Dubliners to Flogging Molly, Seven Nations, and the Tossers. If you are on Spotify, feel free to add some tunes to my “st. patty's collaborative mix”. (Type in “St. Patty’s Collaborative Mix” in the search box to find it.)

May you have the luck of the Irish in the draw!
