I'm back!!! I have lots to share! Today is my Birthday!!! Yes, I am 21 AGAIN!!! I don't know if you guys saw the picture this morning of the 115 year old woman? Well, my darling little angels (with some help from their Daddy) mentioned that SHE looked better than me!! LOL!!! Oh boy am I lucky to have such a loving, caring, family!!! Anyway, I am going to offer up some Birthday Blog Candy beginning today and I'll pick a winner Tuesday evening at 8 EST. All you have to do is leave a comment HERE, on this post!!!
I have been going through my CRAP, oh, I mean, lovely PILES of craft items I have been hoarding for years, because my friend Tamara is having a crop next weekend to raise money for Autism Speaks so I wanted to put a basket together to donate so it can be raffled off next weekend. While shoveling through, I found some stuff I thought you guys might like and use!!! Here is the STUFF~
This includes 1 unmounted French Flair background stamp and 5 unopened packs of retired SU! papers ~ Au Chocolat, Dashing, Le Jardin, Holiday Thyme and Four Seasons. I will post the winner sometime after 8pm Tuesday (4/22).
Since April is National Autism Awareness Month, if anyone is interested in donating to Autism Speaks, please email me and I will provide my mailing address and Tamara will include it with her donation that she will send in sometime after the crop on Saturday. The checks can be made payable to Autism Speaks so you will have a receipt.
I wanted to share with you some Birthday RAK's I received last week!!! I feel so guilty because I LOVED getting the RAK's but have yet to send a Birthday RAK!!! I have been on the Bloggers RAK list for at least a year now!!! I know, how selfish is that!!! I promise to do better!!!
Isn't this cute??? I love it! This is from Simone ~AKA ~ Spazzgirl. Thank you Simone, it is darling!
This one is from Karen Mackie ~ AKA ~ BradsMom. I love these colors and the DP is darling! I will have to keep searching for Karen's SCS gallery and will add it when I find it!!
This awesome card is from Amy. I have never been able to get this buckle card to work!!! Amy did a great job on this. I will have to keep it for inspiration!! Thank you Amy!
Last but not least is this card I received Debra. I LOVE this stamp set ~ one of my favorites!!! This is so cute, thank you so much Debra!
I will leave you with a card I made recently using the DARLING Bunny from Serendipity Stamps. The decorative paper is from Imaginisce and is their Peeps line. I won't go in to a lot of detail because the card is pretty simple AND my friends are taking me out to dinner tonight and I need to get going!!!
Thanks again for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment to win my blog candy!!!
