Amber Ink - Deer Friend & Blog Hop Candy Winner

I have another Amber Ink project to share with you today. I'm posting this a little early because I have to travel for work tomorrow and I won't get a chance to get on line. I know I can schedule a post but I just wanted to get it done now to make sure I don't have any Blogger issues.



This sweet little deer is part of the Wild Animal With Heart (WAWH) series. When you purchase this image, it comes two ways. It comes as you see it here and also with hearts (where I put the spots). Sooo cute and versatile!



Now, down to the important stuff. Who is the winner of the Bunny Hug image provided by Amber Ink during the OWH blog hop? I won't make you wait any longer...





Okay, maybe just a little bit longer.....







Just kidding....




The winner is....





#7 - Seongsook Duncan



Congratulations Seongsook! Please email me at shestamps11-blogs at yahoo dot com to claim your Bunny Hug digital image. If you were not the winner but really like the Bunny Hug image, you can find it in the Amber Ink store.



Thank you to every one that stopped by my blog during the Operation Write Home bunny hop. I really enjoyed reading all your comments. If you didn't hop with us, you still have time to visit all the projects and sign up for chances to win candy at some of the other stops. You can get more information on the hop from THIS post.

OWH Bunny Hop with Amber Ink + Blog Candy


Welcome to my stop on the Bunny Hop for Operation Write Home. If you came from Velda's blog you're on the track. If you just came across the hop and would like to start at the beginning, the hop starts at the OWH Stars & Stamps blog where you can find all the blog hop details and complete list of all the stops. You will want to read to the bottom of my post to see how you can win some Amber Ink blog candy.

For my card, I decided to use Jen Del Muro's Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT) which is being sponsored by Amber Ink for the month of March.




I used Bunny Hug from Amber Ink. I think this is just the sweetest image which can be used for all kinds of occasions. I actually love the entire Bunny Love line. The the bunnies are colored with Copic makers with a little Fun Flock added to their tails. Of course I had to use October Afternoon papers. (I love OA!)

I hope you will get a chance to play along with SFYTT this month for your chance to win some Amber Ink product. See the SYTT blog for the details.

Remember, if you would like to send in cards to OWH for the spring holidays, there are a couple of deadlines you should keep in mind. The Easter deadline is March 18th and the Mother's Day deadline is March 31st. You can check the OWH Mail Room for more information on how to send in your cards.

If you have time, check out the blog comments from our heroes who have received cards from OWH. They truly appreciate the cards they are sent. I love reading these messages.





Your next stop on the OWH Bunny Hop is PAPER ADDICT CATHERINE. If you get lost along the way or if there is a broken link, you will be able to find the complete blog hop list on the OWH Stars & Stamps blog.





Now for the details on how to win the blog candy. I am being sponsored by Amer Ink today and will be giving away the digital image, Bunny Hug, that I used on my project today to one random commenter.



Here's what you need to do to win-

1) Stop by the Amber Ink store and pick out your favorite product. It can be any Amber Ink product - digi stamps, clear stamps, or ipaper.

2) Enter your name in the linky tool below. After your name, include the name of your favorite Amber Ink product. (i.e.: Cheryl - Bunny Hug) If you do not have your own blog address, you can use mine but be sure to leave a comment with your email so I can get a hold of you if you win.

3) Please leave me a comment. You don't have to in order to qualify for the candy drawing but I love getting them. :)

4) Entries will end Monday, March 7th, at 5 pm CST. I will announce the random winner on my Amber Ink Torch Bearer post on Tuesday, March 6th.




Thank you for stopping by! Have a great week end!

Pink Cat Studio is looking for a guest designer

Pink Cat Studios is having a contest to find 2 Guest Designers for their March Release! They want to see our favorite PCS creation. My favorite favorite PCS creation is a Christmas card I made this past year.


I have a couple of other PCS creations I would like to share too.


I love this card even though my sewing is a bit wonky. It was the first time I tried to use my new sewing machine. I still love Rex and Bronty. They are the cutest dinosaurs ev-ah!




My third most favorite PCS card is this one. Lily reminds me so much of my daughter that I can't help but love her.



If you would like to see a supplies list for any of these cards, you should be able to click on the photo to go to my original post.

Keep your fingers crossed for me!

March Whimsy Stamps Digi Blog Hop

Woo hoo! It's the first of the month so that means it is time for the Whimsy Stamps digi release blog hop. This month we have releases from Crissy's Digis and Meljen's Designs.



If you came from Sandra's blog, you are on the right track. If not, you might want to start at the beginning of the hop at the Whimsy Inspiration blog so you don't miss out on any eye candy or chances to win the prizes. The blog hop will go until Tuesday, March 8th, noon EST. Two mystery blogs along the way will be giving away a digi of their choice to a random commenter. So be sure to comment on every blog along to way to increase your chances of winning. The Grand Prize winner will be picked at Dawn's blog. The grand prize is 5 digital stamps of your choice from Whimsy Stamps and the chance to use those new images as a guest designer for Whimsy for the entire month of March.



Now that all the hop details are taken care of, let's get to the eye candy. I decided to use one of Crissy's newly release images, Dog Song.




I knew I had to use this image as soon as I saw it. With it's head up and big ears, I swear Crissy must have based Dog Song on my dog, Summer. (Just kidding, but there is a really strong resemblance.) We have nicknamed Summer "Woo" or "The Woo" because when she is excited, or wants to be sassy, she puts up her head just like this and says "Woo, woo, woo". I'm not kidding. Her ears stick out just like this too. So, you certainly can understand my need to use this image.



I "liberated" these papers from my daughter's crafting supplies. (Because I don't have enough of my own you know.) Seriously, she has had these for a really long time and doesn't use them. Since I finally found my Tim Holtz paint, I decided I had better use before I misplace it again. It seems I can never find it when I want to use it.

Thank you for hopping by today. Your next stop on the hop is Melissa's blog.
