Thank You and a Winner!

I just want to say thank you for your lovely comments on my giveaway and daughter's birthday post. She read them all and was touched that she received so many sweet messages from ladies she's never even met. You made my little girl's day, so here's a thank you card for you.

I used GKD Lovely Labels 2 and Inside and Out stamps. The card base and ribbon are GKD Red Hot. The patterned papers are Oct Afternoon.

Now, the winner of my giveaway of seam bindings, lace and Vintage Basics digital paper pack is...#63 DENISE B. Please email me (via contact tab above) with your address, so I can send the goodies your way. Thank you all for playing along. I have more giveaways planned this month. My other two girls and I also have our birthdays in October, too. Stay tuned :-).

I have been busy creating samples for Layers of Colors' release next week. As you know, I love their stamps, esp because they're hand drawn by my good friend, Laura. I am showing you a preview of my current favorite flower stamp called Cottage Rose and it's HUGE. I got to practice my Copic coloring on it. Doesn't that rose just scream loveliness? (PSST, I'm giving away a sampler pack of seam bindings like the one you see on this card on my post HERE :-).

My second card is one I showed at the GinaK Designs release party using Lovely Labels 2. Again, the paper is Oct Afternoon. I can't get enough of their stuff :-). The card base is GinaK Passionate Pink.

Tomorrow and Friday are holidays here in Croatia. Woohoo! We have a full 4-day weekend planned including a trip to another country (of course, the nearest border is only 10 minutes away from our house, but still).

Guess who's sponsoring SSIC?

I am giving away a copy of one of my best-selling GinaK sets, Nana's Needlework, on the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge this week. Make sure you check it out and join in the fun. Today's card uses the coordinating sentiment set, Nana's Needlework Sentiments. These note cards were published in the CARDS Magazine August 2010 issue. The patterned papers are Cosmo Cricket's Material Girl. The card base is GinaK Ocean Mist.
I had a busy WCMD weekend and spent cleaning and organizing my craft area yesterday. I'm not quite done, and I can't get creative again until it's all finished. I'm kind of OCD that way :-)

Happy WCMD!

I just love this holiday that Paper Crafts Magazine came up with. Like we, paper crafters, need another reason to create? :-). It is good to dedicate one day maybe to get started on your holiday cards. I know I will do that today.

Here are my cards for today. This one uses my latest Lovely Labels 2 set (frame, flourish and sentiment). The butterfly is from Picture It! set. The vintage paper is from the Vintage Basics digital paper pack. That yummy ribbon is something I made myself and I'm giving away a sampler on yesterday's post. The card base is GKD Ocean Mist and the other papers are by Oct Afternoon.
My second card uses my most used Layers of Color stamp set, Flutterescent. The sentiment is from my Fanciful Tags set. The card base is GKD Innocent Pink.

Speaking of GKD and LOC, my dear friend, Jennie, who has been beautifully creating with my GKD stamps is now a DT member for Layers of Color. I love her work and I know she will be a great asset to the LOC team. Congratulations, Jennie! Read the announcement on the LOC blog.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway that includes some hand-dyed seam binding, fine European lace and a copy of my Vintage Basics digital paper pack. Leave a comment on YESTERDAY'S POST. I'll announce the winner on Thursday!
