New Year Blog Candy

Before I show you my very first blog candy of the year, here's a card using my well-loved stamps, GinaK Designs' Many Wishes (dandelions), Vintage Backgrounds (text) and Heartily Yours Additions (sentiment). The papers are Webster's Pages. Speaking of Gina K Designs, the previews have begun for our January release. Go to Gina's blog for more info.

Just a little tidbit about my Heartily Yours Additions set: I designed the sentiment on my card below with my girls in mind. I had always wanted to be a mom and God blessed me three times that way. The reason I haven't shared anything creative in awhile on my blog is because I've been enjoying just hanging out with the girls while they're on Christmas break. And we don't start school again until next week, which makes me a happy mama :-).

Wish Came True

Now, on to my first blog candy of the year to celebrate 500+ blog followers, 900+ email subscribers and 228K hits! I will be doing some more of this later on that will include my new stamp designs and dies! I've been blessed by your regular visits and kind comments and I hope this little giveaway will bless you back somehow. Thank you!

This little giveaway includes some of my favorite things:
  • 18 yards of hand-dyed seam bindings (in 6 colors, 3 yards each)
  • 2 yards of European lace (one cream and one white)
  • a stack of paper doilies
  • a dozen mini red roses
  • 3 pink small roses
  • 2 big tea roses
  • 3 paper wheats
  • 40 yards of red twine
  • 40 yards of blue twine
  • a copy of my latest Gina K Designs, Gleefully Yours (previews start on Thurs, available for sale on Thurs, Jan 6th) OR if you purchase this set on Thurs, you can pick another of my GinaK stamp sets.
How do you win? There are three ways:
  • Simply leave a comment telling me how you found my blog. I'm just curious :-)
  • Leave another comment if you are or become a follower.
  • If you want to, leave another comment if you post the photo of my giveaway with a link to this post on the sidebar of your blog.
I will pick the winner randomly on Tuesday, January 11 and post it on my blog. Have a great day!

    I've been a follower ever since I found your blog! I follow over 160 blogs via Google Reader, and yours is a true gem.

    With so many blogs, I'm never entirely sure how I found one. Usually I find blogs from amazing creations posted on Splitcoast, or Mojo Monday. I think that I actually found yours via search engine when I was looking for flower tutorials. I love your dahlia fold flower!

I'm a "big" sister to my 3 younger sisters and feel so blessed to have them in my life as I'm sure your girls will appreciate more and more as they grow older.

    I found your blog from a link for Gina K's blog and immediately became a follower. Love your beautiful creations! I'll link you to my blog once I figure out how to get it up and running. I'm so technology challenged.
