Throwback Thursday and EXCITING News!

First of all I have to share my SUPER exciting news! I've known for almost a week, but Emma (My Creative Time) decided to do a design team and she chose me along with 7 other talented crafters. Can I just say that the fact that she chose me has put me on cloud 9. She is one of the sweetest crafters around. She was the second 'follower' of my blog (my sweet husband was the first). She is amazingly talented and so positive and encouraging towards other crafters. Oh and did I mention that she just came out with some super adorable sentiment stamps! This is going to be an awesome team to be on. I can't wait for my 3 month adventure! THANKS SO much to Miss EMMA!!!!

Every other Thursday Emma does a challenge on her blog called Throwback Thursday. This week we could use whichever cartridge we wanted but needed to incorporate a heart. Here is my kitty valentine that I made yesterday:

I had already made this little puppy valentine card last Sunday. I wanted to share it now because I think they make a super cute set. This dog and cat come from the Sweethearts cartridge, and in my opinion, they are not all that cute with the faces they come with, but add a Peachy Keen Stamps face and they are SERIOUSLY about the CUTEST things on earth!

Oh, I love Valentine's Day. I'm looking forward to making lots of other cute Valentines. How about all of you?

The cat and the dog both have a bobble head thanks to an Action Wobble. Here is yet another short video showing how fun these Action Wobbles are.

Apple Card and a Giveaway

The giveaway is now closed, but comments are still welcome. Thanks.

I made this super sweet green apple card. It will be a thank you card for my daughter's amazing teacher. I love the adorable Peachy Keen Stamp on her. This is a really big stamp meant for a 9" to 11" paper doll, but works perfectly on a 5" apple. Unfortunately the stamp is discontinued. I'm SO glad I got it when I did. I think I will use it a lot.

And here is a picture of the card opened up.

Yes, I did mention something about a giveaway. I have done 100 posts and I have 50 followers. This makes me happy. The giveaway isn't much but it might help you with any upcoming Halloween projects. Because of shipping costs I'm only offering this giveaway for people living in the US and Canada. I'm not anticipating a lot of entries so your chances of winning are probably pretty good. All you need to do is leave a comment on this post. I will pick a winner at some point on Tuesday, September 21, 2010. The prize is pictured below. Good luck.
