A Peek at the Pals and a Bite of Blog Candy

Oh my gosh! Where does the time go?  Here it is Wednesday, and time for a peek at my Pals Paper Arts inspiration card.  As you can see, I did indeed use the Color Spritzer Tool! I felt like I was somewhat back in my element again with this card.  I will be anxious to read your comments about it!  So please, stop by Thursday for the full reveal! 

Bite of Blog Candy

As has become tradition on Wednesday’s, I am offering you a “bite of  blog candy” in return for your comments left on both today’s and tomorrow’s posts.  The winner will be randomly selected and announced on Friday.  So…hmmm…how about something that I have gleaned from my latest re-organization efforts.  Let’s see…how about:
  • 9 yards of Pretty in Pink 1/2″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon
  • 9 yards of Kiwi Kiss 1/2″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon

So don’t forget to leave your comments both days! 

Upcoming Birthday Blog Candy

In celebration of my upcoming birthday, I would love to give you “Birthday Blog Candy”.  I think you will love the selection of papers, stamp sets, ribbons, and other goodies that I have been saving up just for this occasion!  I will release all of the details Friday!

  3. It certainly uses nautical colors. I’m behind in checking out my google reader, so will see the reveal in just a few minutes. I do know whatever it is, it will be outstanding.

  4. Certainly am intrigued! Your peek looks both nautical and masculine, and I’m always needing inspiration for masculine cards!

  5. Can’t wait to see the full card tomorrow!! I know it will be wonderful.

  6. Thanks for the opportunity for sweet blog candy and for all the inspiration you share… looking forward to seeing the full card tomorrow!!

  7. Love that you do this “bite of candy”. It is a great idea. When is your birthday???? Best, Curt

  8. Gee, I must have left my imagination at work. I totally missed the nautical image. For the big round things – I thought train wheels. What do I know? Anyway, I liked the colors and will await until tomorrow to see the full reveal. Happy birthday a bit early!

  9. Ahoy there!! This sneak peek looks so tantalizing. (As does the blog candy – I can’t help but admit I’m lusting after the Kiwi Kiss ribbon – it’s my favorite color and I was so sad to see it go)

  10. What a great thing to get such a wonderful candy bite of ribbon. Thanks for all the ideas you present on your site. Also enjoy the antics of your four legged kids.

  11. You can’t fool us…”sailing, sailing, over the ocean blue…”
    I know it’ll be great card as well as a bit of blog candy too.

  12. Love the sneak peek, looks nautical. Can’t wait for the reveal.

  14. Well this looks like a nautical card. I know it will be fabulous, as usual. Can’t wait to see it. About your upcoming birthday, mine is also upcoming, May 2nd, when’s yours? You must be another Taurus!!

  15. I noticed the spritzing right away. I love the colors and textures seen in the sneak peek. Can’t wait to see the whole thing. When’s your birthday? Hmmmmm?

  16. I have had the spritzer tool for years and never used it until I started following your blog! The peek looks like another paper pack that I am going to “need”.

  17. OOOHH! Interesting. It looks like a new stamp set with ships and paper maybe coming in the new mini catalog. Thanks Pat P.

  18. I spy…some goodies from the yummy mini catalog that I can’t wait to order from on your sneak peak. I am loving the nautical stamps, paper, etc.

  19. Ohhh, I’m getting a nautical-vibe from this sneaky peek! You really rock that Color Spritzer, too. I’m getting the hang of mine…with lots of practice. Can’t wait to stop by tomrrow for the reveal! šŸ™‚

  20. I love peeks! I can see a bit of the stamp set you used I think I know the stamp set you used. I love the colors already, Navy and Red… the sea!

  21. So enjoy the peek and all the comments! Tomorrow’s card will make me smile, I’m sure!

  22. I love the nautical stamps and paper, so I can’t wait to see this one!

    It reminded me that while I did remember to order the Soft Suede ink pad and paper, I forgot the marker for spritzing! Darn. One of these days I’ll get all of my Ann tools. šŸ™‚

  23. Oooooh! This sneak peek looks FA.BU.LOUS. Can’t wait till tomorrow…ESPECIALLY since I am getting those stamps and papers today – WOOHOO!

  24. Oooooo…can’t wait!! This looks like a cool-looking maculine card!! You always have the most gorgeous cards!! I love to check out your blog daily!!

  25. Oh boy oh boy… I can see that ship sneaking into view… I LOVE that set so far and have been playing around with it. I know I’m going to go ga-ga over your spritzing (can’t figure why I have to squeeze so hard?} and overall vintage “schach” feel.
    Thanks for another chance at some candy too! You are soooo generous. Hugs

  26. Looks like I’m seeing a snippet of a nautical card! Oh, when will it be Thursday?!?!?

  27. This card makes me want to sing “Sailing, sailing, over the ocean blue.”

  28. Good morning, Ann; love what I am seeing and looking forward to tomorrows reveal. Hope you have a great birthday, can you share the date (not the year!) Big smile! Have a great day.

  29. More summer mini …… I just got mine in the mail yesterday, so I can tell and I cannot wait to see the whole project! Love what I see.

  30. Hi Ann! I wanted to drop by and visit you. I see you have blog candy; what a timely visit! Thanks for your generosity.

  31. Cleaning out your stamp/craft room is always a chore. Butfinding things is a real treat! Your sneak pek’s are always fun and the chance to win this ribbon is generous!

  32. I see you have used the new nautical set from the mini. I am on the fence with that one. I like it, but I don’t think I will use it very often. I can’t wait for the full reveal to see how the whole thing comes together.

  33. First I must say that I love your blog, love the design and love the name. I like the simple, clean lines in most of your cards. Oh, the spritzer tool..can’t wait to see the whole card.

  34. I’M SURE IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL, GIRLIE! I HAVE A FEELING THOUGH THAT IT MAY JUST BE PEARLESS! HOWEVER, LOVE THOSE LARGE BRADS!!

  35. Ann – thanks for the peek – can’t wait to see the real deal tomorrow. Masculine cards are soooo hard – I always want to add some bling or ribbon!
    Happy upcoming birthday! I’m excited to hear the details!

  36. I can’t wait to see what you have made. Thanks for the chance to win some candy!

  37. Can’t wait to see the full card…I’m sure it will be beautiful as always!!!

  38. I can’t wait to see this one.. It looks like it could be a masculine card..
    hugs

    hugs
