Hello all you wonderful followers of mine! I hope your week has been fantastic!  After I participated in the Pink by Design 2 Year Anniversary I had to give my poor brain a break,  I was on crafty overload and losing my mojo. I did a quick card for a challenge at CropChocolate.com because I love them and I design for them, but other than that I haven't touched my paper crafting goodies all week(well, does looking through the new Close to My Heart catalog count? It's amazing, and I love it all. If you want to check out the new pretties, click the link in my sidebar, all the new products are available as of Wednesday, August 1- that includes the new Artiste Cricut Collection).  So instead of crafting this week, Monkey and I have just been hanging out. The county fair is in town where we live so we went to that on Tuesday. We had a blast, helicopter rides, pony rides, some games, cotton candy, and we went to the demolition derby. Monkey thought the demolition derby ...

So the blog hop is over, and I had an awesome 49 comments. I ended up deciding to do 2 blog candies.  For commenting & following on the blog hop random.org picked #13 so the winner is: MomCleo July 27, 2012 11:27 AM this is a great banner! Love all the details. I am a new follower And for being my 100th follower(I can't believe I hit it over the weekend)!  Once Upon a Delight, You win! If both of you ladies will please email me your mailing address to britngavin@ymail.com I'll get that sent out right away! Thanks everyone for all the comments over the weekend. It was a blast!

So for the UStream challenge we had to use something from our junk drawer. I don't have a junk drawer, I have a junk basket. I found a cute green sparkly "5" candle, so I used that. Here it is: I'm going to use it as a treat bag topper for a cute little girl I know. :-) 

So this is the last challenge for Pink By Design's Anniversary Party. Okay, so there's one during the Live UStream tonight, but I don't know anything about that yet, so, on to the project. We had to make a project using something in our home as inspiration. I chose a bottle of body spray from Bath & Body Works, I just got it, I haven't even put it in my bathroom yet, lol, but the bottle label is really pretty, all bright colors & leopard print. So here's my project: It's so hard to get a good picture of this card, but I did the card with 5 shades of Glimmer Mist(1 for the leopard print, 4 for the gradient colors), it looks so cool in real life. I'll have to try and take another picture tomorrow when the sun is out. :-) Thanks Pink By Design Team, I had a blast today. 

So Challenge #11 is something that I NEVER do. A single layer card. I never do single layers, it's always multiple layers of paper, pop dots, etc... All we were allowed was 1 sheet of paper, whatever stamps we were going to use and inks. So here it is. Sorry for the huge picture, but it's pretty much the only way for you to see all my snow dots. I feel like it should have a warning label. "Warning: This card contains massive amounts of Stickles. Don't look at it in direct sunlight.". Sound like a good one? lol. I had fun and learned I can NOT stamp straight to save my life. Everything is always a little crooked, but eh, proves it was hand made by me. :-)
