A Card and Some Candy

Hi everyone.  We made it to Tuesday, and the good news today is that it isn’t Monday any longer!  I also have a card to share and some blog candy to give away, so I hope you are interested in both topics.  I’ll post my card first and then we can get to the goodies that I have up for grabs.

Today’s card all about friendship…and what better way to bond a little than over a cup of coffee?  It sounds like the best blend of perfection to me.  I used images from the Life is Fabulous Stampin’ Store kit, available from i{heart}papers.  With a card base of Blue Bayou Textured cardstock, I layered pieces of patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket’s Early Bird collection with the image stamped onto Kraft cardstock.

I created three flower embellishments that mimic the flower patterns in the papers and finished the card off with some funky pleated silk ribbon.

Ok, now it’s time for a give away.  You may have read my post yesterday about how sad I am to tell you about Molly Stamps going out of business.  Well, in an effort to reduce inventory, Russ send me an envelope full of stamps and miscellaneous items that I get to pass onto you.  So here is what I have up for grabs.

Up for grabs is one Palette Noir Black ink pad, a Tim Holtz Tonic Retractable Craft Knife, a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen, 3 sets of Molly’s Let’s Get Together, 2 sets of Out of This World, one set of Wings on Things Small and one set of Post Office.

If you would like a chance to be one of 8 winners, please leave a comment on this post and you could be one of the random winners.  I will draw and announce the winners on my blog this Saturday.  It is important that I have some way to contact you, so be sure that I either have an e-mail address or a way to get in touch with you.

And now for a moment in Women’s History:  Are you aware that March is Women’s History Month?  Are you also aware the just this past Sunday at the 82nd Academy Awards, another woman made history?  That’s right, Kathryn Bigelow won the Oscar for Directing The Hurt Locker.  This is the first time a woman has taken the Best Director title.  Way to go!

I’m so very happy you decided to stop by today!  Until next time – have a fantastic day!
