No…you’re not lost! This is The Stampin’ Schach! Welcome to my new look! What began as a concept back in August has been brought to completion today as you are getting your first look at this marvelous design by the uber-talented Michelle Laycock! I absolutely love the wheelbarrow and the mailbox…and my new signature. Oh all right…I love it all! Of course, the Twins wanted siggies, too, for the special posts that they plan on writing. Are these not just the cutest things you have ever seen?
This calls for Blog Candy, don’t you think? Here’s what I am offering in celebration:
All of the sparkle makes it difficult to get a good picture…I’m sorry! Here is what’s included:
- 8 -6″ x 6″ sheets of Red Glimmer Paper
- 28 – 6″ x 6″ sheets of retired SU! Valentine Designer Series Paper
- 1 package of Basic Pearls
- 1 package of Basic Rhinestones
- Regal Rose 5/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon
- 12-Red Sending Love Brads
- 14- Pink Sending Love Brads
- 10-Chocolate Chip Sending Love Brads
Just leave a comment on The Stampin’ Schach on any or all posts between Wednesday and Friday. On Friday, at 6:00 PM CST, using the random number generator from Random.org, I will select a winner from all comments. The winner will be announced on Saturday, and will have until 10:00 PM CST Monday to email me an address. I will ship your candy out pronto! 
Here’s a small peek at the Pals Paper Arts card which I will be revealing in it’s entirety on Thursday. There’s texture, pearls, distressing, and a cool technique…all of those things I love in a card! I hope that you will like it. In the meantime, be sure to check out this week’s PPA Picks of the Week. Until next time…
