All I want.....is some FB Candy and YOU!

Hello!  How is everybody....sorry it's been so quiet on the blog lately. Between the Holidays and being sick I have had no mojo!!  This week I am trying to get things organized, cleaned and ready for my Thirty One party I am having.  I had a HUGE Failed attempt at making Macarons last night too. If they didn't take so much in terms of money and prep, I wouldn't mind failing at making them in honor of learning the technique properly....however...it gets costly!!  I am going to try again tonight, I spent a little while last night getting a few more pointers. I think mine failed because I didn't fold them enough. So it was too stiff.  Whatever.... If they don't come out again....I'm done and I will wait til I am in NYC and go to Bouchon Bakery, which have EXCELLENT Macarons, to get my fix!

 

Don't let me lose you yet. I have a card to share and some FACEBOOK Candy below.   

 

I used Tilda with Little Rudolph from the Magnolia Little Christmas Collection.  She is so sweet!  The sentiment is from Some Odd Girl - GingerBread Kaylee set.

Red: R24, R27, R29, W4

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20

Hair: E51, E53, E33

I'm Back w/ Blog Candy!!

Hello! So this was officially the longest I have been away! Yikes! My family and I went away last weekend to Orlando. We didn't even do any parks. We just relaxed by the pool, it was fabulous! Since I have been back I have been busy with home projects and reading. I go in waves with crafting and reading. Lately I have been on a reading kick. This weekend was the first I have been in my craft room in almost 2 weeks!!

I was pretty excited that I was able to pick up some, ahem...just a few...really...only a few...I swear, of the new collection from Magnolia. I wasn't sure what I wanted to color up first but I figured since Father's day is right around the corner I would make up a fathers day card for the hubby. I was so bummed that I wasn't able to make any Mother's Day cards this year. I LOVE making them because you get all flowery and stuff...but I was so busy during April and May I didn't have time! Wah!

Today I used Edwin Waiting for Fish.

Edwin is colored with Copic markers. I wasn't sure what I was going to sit him on and I ended up using the mini bench believe it or not. In my mind I really wanted him on a dock but I just didn't see me drawing up a dock! So next I thought maybe on a rock...or a log or something. Well I have none of those...so a small bench it is!! I then drew a "shoreline".  Those fabby papers are from MME - "Out of the Blue" from the Lime Twist Collection.  I misplaced my Father's Day stamp...No clue where it may be so I printed out a simple sentiment from my computer.

Challenges:
 Make it Colourful - Cast a shadow
Come and Get it - Fathers Day
Creative Inspirations - Fathers Day
Here Comes the Boys - Fathers Day
Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Anything Goes
Craft your Days Away -Fathers Day


Ok so here is the BEST part!! Remember I said that I picked up a "few" magnolias from the new collection. Well, it just so happens that I picked up a DOUBLE! So guess what? I'm giving it away as BLOG CANDY to one of my blogger friends!  YAY!!!

So here's what you have to do:

Become a Follower of my blog  and.......

Blog Candy WINNER!!!

HELLO!! I'm back!!!  So I had a WONDERFUL vacation away.  My family and I took a 7 day cruise on the Oasis of the Seas!  It was awesome! The weather was gorgeous, the ship was fabulous! The ship...it was enormous. I hadn't realized how big until it was docked at ports and other cruise ships would pull up next to us. WOW!  The first day finding our way around was overwhelming!! 

We did the western caribbean and had 3 stops. The first was a private destination - Labadee. It was just a beautiful, tropical paradise. My son and husband did the Dragons Breath Zip Line, which is one of the longest and tallest zip lines. My little girl and I hung out on the beach and took in the sun and ocean.

The following day we went to Jamaica and climbed Dunn's River Falls. It's a waterfall that you can actually climb up. It's alot of work, but so beautiful. Then we did some shopping at the port. 

Our last port was Cozumel, Mexico. We were there for Cinco Di Mayo...we thought that was pretty cool. Although I think it's a "holiday" we celebrate more in America than they do in Mexico...lol So to celebrate my hubs and I had our share of Strawberry Margaritas at Carlos and Charlies.

Then we had 3 days in between of cruising at Sea! I loved those days, we just relaxed at one of the 5 pools on the ship. Saw a few awsome shows. The shows were phenomenal. We saw Hairspray, "Come fly with Me" a Royal Caribbean production, Oasis of Dreams (a water show) and a few others. They were all fabulous. Amazing the things they can put together on the ships!!! 

Right now I am detoxing from all the food we ate! Holy cow...lol 

So I just got home a little bit ago and I will share some photos later, but I had a few ppl ask about the BLOG CANDY so I wanted to draw it and announce the winner.

I used random.org to pick the number and the number is....DRUM ROLL...can you hear it? hehe

60 - *ALISON*

Congrats Alison..please email me at scrapgirl1210@gmail.com to claim your prize!!!

Pretty cool too that Alison is the owner of the very FIRST Design Team that I was on!! She creates some fun digis "Stretch n' Bubbles" you should check them out sometime.

Thats it for now, I may have some more Blog Candy coming up in the next few weeks!!

Hugs,

BLOG CANDY - Ends April 30th

Perfect little birthday card, isn't it? I have used Tilda w/Ballons from the So Special Collection. You can purchase her up at Magnolia-licious.  I have colored her with Copic markers. Do you notice anything else? Yep...I finally did a little paper Piecing. My friend Wendy does some beautiful things with paper piecing and I thought I would give it a try. I have to tell you, I LOVE it. I have a couple other things that I have started to paper piece now too.   I also added some liquid glass to the balloons and shoes.

The paper is from My Minds Eye. I bought several packs a couple of weeks ago and I am so in love with them all!! It's kind of hard to use them!! I thought the banners would be perfect for a birthday card. Flowers are Wild Orchard Crafts, Ribbon is CTMH and the Sentiment is from Stampin' Up.

Please sign up at the CMC Classroom and join in on the festivities - those prizes are sooooo worth it!

Blogoversary -BLOG CANDY!!!!!

Good Evening! Well I can hardly believe it but I will be celebrating my 1 year anniversary on my blog!! Yea me! Now technically I started a blog wayyyyyyyy before that, but I didn't really "Blog" KWIM.  I had a couple of sporadic post but thats about it. Anyways,  1 year and 200+ followers later here I am still steady blogging. I love it. My friend Lisette and I started about the same time. She was my inspiration to start and she has also been my enabler the entire way. Meaning, without her, I probably would have that new car I want/need and I probably could have squeezed a few extra vacations in this year!!! But I was blessed with daily emails to check this blog or that online store out to see all this crazy cute stuff that I just couldn't pass up. I have continued to blog because I need an excuse on why I bought over 100 magnolias in less than a year...and 250 copics...and...you see where this is going??? lol Thank you Lisette! LOL I love all my card making supplies!!!
I truly have enjoyed blogging and I love all the friends (close and faraway) that I have come across via blogland. That is why it has been so much fun!!  I also love and appreciate all the comments that come my way. Crafters are a great bunch of ladies and because of that I want to spread some love via BLOG CANDY!

Of course there has to be rules. ;-( 
        1. You must be a follower (remember - follower = friends and I'm sharing some love with my old/new   friends here!!) - you can become a follower if you are not already a follower.
        2. Please display this candy on your sidebar or into a blog post on you blog. :-)  You know - spread the love!
        3. Sign up with Mr. Linky below!!

And if you want....leave me a comment. Tell me why you like to blog or how you started?  (this part is not mandatory to win the candy)

Blog Candy Ends - APRIL 30th.   Good luck!!!

100th Follower Blog Candy!!!

***This post will stay at the top until Nov. 20th - please scroll down to view all new post**

Hello!!!!!!!!  I just got back from vacation. My husband and I took a trip to Key West for Fantasy Fest! All I can say is WOW! ;-)  It was quite interesting but so much fun! I'll try to post a few pictures soon. Until then, I promised when I got back to have some Blog Candy up for all.

Here are the rules. I know some people do not like rules, but here is my arguement. I, unlike others, do not get loads of free product sent to me (I wish I did!!)  So this has all been purchased by me.  If I am going to give something to you, I would expect you to want to visit my blog. KWIM? So I am requesting that you become a follower, if you are not one already. 2nd, please put this post in your sidebar of your blog, or make a post about it. Either is fine. Last - leave you name in inklinkz on below this post. That's it.

ENDS NOVEMBER 20th

Here is what you're getting:

2 Magnolia Stamps
1 C.C Design Stamp
4 unmounted stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie
