Holiday Blog Candy


Christmas is my favorite holiday! I love the hustle and bustle! The candy making and cookie baking! ‘Tis the season for giving and for friendships! I love creating and sharing with you, and I love the feedback and encouragement that you have given me. Even though the vast majority of us have never met face to face, there is still a bond that has formed because of our mutual love of stamping and card making. In appreciation of this, my holiday gift to you is a healthy serving of Blog Candy!

One lucky reader will receive the following goodies:
  • 101 6″ x 6″ sheets of retired Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers tied up with Brocade Blue 5/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon
  • “Congrats” stamp set
  • 20 yards of Certainly Celery Ribbon from SAB 2009 Ribbon Bundle
  • Basic Gray Corduroy Buttons (new)
  • Basic Brown Classic Stampin’ Ink Re-Inker (new)
  • A Sponge Dauber (so you can distress)
  • Plus non-SU! brads and ribbon

To be eligible, simply leave a comment on the posts that I will be making beginning with this post through Friday, December 18th at 9:00 PM CST. One winner will be selected randomly, and will be announced on this blog Saturday, December 20th! The winner will then need to email shipping information to me.

So, get ready for comments. And, oh, by the way, Tuesday’s card posting will be included in with the Blog Candy. It is simply my take on the popular “Tree Trimmings” Star card, done up in Real Red and Chocolate Chip. The Design Tips will be included in my next post. Until next time…
