Congrats Susan!

 Congrats Susan Timchack!!  Your number (you were #170) was drawn.  Please send me your address & I'll get your gift in the mail asap. 

Thank you all for watching my videos and for participating!! I saw a lot of new names and that's very exciting!  I have several contests coming up so make sure you check back often. I gave 48 hours to enter this one but in the future I will change it up.

Post it Notes for teacher

I was ask yesterday if I ever switched the Post it Note Holder around and put the crimped edge at the top.  The answer is yes & I looked for my sample…but I couldn't find it…….it may be in my old office :)  My picture today is one that I made last year (re-made).

Another question was did I use a full pad of post it notes. The answer is no, if you buy a normal pad of post it notes, you will use a third of it.  But, if you buy them from the Dollar Tree or Deals you can use 1/2 of the pad.  I've also included a picture of that…but I usually have it a little thicker.

Congrats Pam Malaer

Hey Pam, your name was drawn for the March Club Projects…..Congrats!!!   I mail the 3-D Kit Club supplies on the 15th of the month and I'll mail yours right along with everyone elses.  To assemble the projects you can check out the videos on my Stampin' Academy.  Thanks & Congrats!!

Scratch n Win

Me again…after spending two days dealing with yucky computer issues I need a pick me up …..so lets have some fun! 

But before I go into the details…my Chic'n Scratch Shack is working again…or I should say the order processing is working again.  It's been tested several times and I'm happy to report it's up & running! 

Now to the fun…..Drop me a line (aka post a comment on this post)…between now and tomorrow at noon (Wed.) and one lucky person will win the supplies to complete my March Club projects.  My March Stamp Club projects are the Good Egg Easter Basket and the Rectangle Coaster Clipboard

 If you need details….regarding my 3-D Kit club, look on the navigation bar and click on 3-D Kit Club.  (What's the navigation bar?  I'm teaching you something new….it's the line right under my Banner….that has  "Home" & "Search"….those are links you can click on.)

But there's a catch….If you have a question…please send me an email…it takes me a few days to read them & if you need an answer I may not see it right away.

Thanks again for your patience the last few days….. I appreciate you all!!!

Two new videos & a winner

Good evening! 

Thanks for all the really nice comments you guys left me over the past two days!  I really appreciate it and I have read every single one of them….that’s why I’m late posting the winner.  Congrats to Nada!! You won 🙂  Please send me your address and I’ll get the goodies out to you asap.

Chic Stand Update….I figure I better post it on this blog too 🙂  they are on backorder….and ….they are being re-designed…New & Improved!!  I expect my shipment late Feb or early March….I think it will be worth the wait and when they arrive you can expect a new video 🙂

Speaking of videos I’ve filmed two new ones….do you want to hear that it took me 12 takes to get them?  I swear…the phone rang, the dogs barked, the kids shut a door, the phone rang, the dogs barked. I kid you not!!  I made Chase and Brook come watch them so they could see why steam was coming out of my ears…just kidding…but seriously I was about to call it a day…maybe you’ll get a kick out of them knowing how much effort I put into it 🙂 

The first video was on the Big Shot Texturz Plates.  After showing you the Bag with Scallops the other day I had shared with some of you that a video was coming…..thanks for being patient with me!  Click here to head over to my Stampin’ Academy to watch my video.  Tip……if you’re wanting to see how the rubbing alcohol is used…it’s on the video.

The 2nd video is the Bag w/Scallops…Click here  to go watch that video.  Remember when I told you I had made several of the Bag w/Scallops?  Here’s a couple pictures of two more of them. 

You quack me up

 

 The first picture …..I used the Animal Crackers Stamp set with the So Saffron Striped Ribbon. I sponged So Saffron ink after I embossed it with the Backgrounds #1 Texturz Plate.

Sunshine Scallop On the next picture I used the Good Morning Sunshine designer paper with the Cheep Talk stamp set.  I still want to play around with it….I’m missing something 🙂

Thanks for stopping by….good night!

Scratch n’ Win aka Blog Candy

Scratch n Win Jan 09 Congrats Nada!!  You've won my Scratch n' Win :)  Please email me your address and I'll get it shipped to you right away!!

Good morning!

I need a pick me up and giving something usually does the trick.  If you'd like a chance at my Scratch n' Win, please leave a comment on this post and I'll draw a winner on Thursday at 10pm.

What's in the picture? 

 I'm super excited about the Under $10 page in the New Idea Book & Catalog and the Fun Flowers is just one of the items (page 208). Next is what I made for myself and I thought you might like it. It's a keyring with a sample of all the new Texture Plates.  I found that is was easier to keep this on my desk so that I can match it when I'm stamping….good idea isn't it :)  Also notice the three new Striped ribbon colors…I wish we had that style of Striped ribbon in all our colors!

Have a great day!!

p.s. I need a favor…..I'm attempting to get caught up from being sick last week….if you sent me an email or needed something and I didn't respond, please let me know.  I answered a ton of emails and then I got several of them back….I'm wondering is it me or the internet??? Maybe I sent to many in one day?

p.s.s. last minute addition….to sweeten the deal…I'm going to add this Bag w/Scallops to the Scratch n' Win 🙂  Be Happy Olive

Tart & Tangy Card Kit Winner

Sorry!! but you know …hubby is home this week….kids are home…house is full of people & I’m not as productive. I’m excited I have a new project to show you in the morning 🙂

Thanks & Good night!
