TTCRD Challenge (June 18-24): Always Anything Goes

Greetings!

I hope your day is starting out wonderful and only gets better!  This week over at TTCRD we our honored to have Oozak as our sponsor this week.  I love purchasing my Copic markers from this store.  It is actually on a little over an hour from where I live here in Michigan and Rusty is always so kind and helpful. 

I used the Vintage Flower Frame from Create with TLC and wordart to create my card.  My Supervisor is off on medical leave and I needed to make her a card so this was the perfect combination to let her know that we were thinking about her.

Here's my creation...

Vintage Flower Frame

Okay, I started out with a 6x6 piece of black cardstock for my cardbase.  I then cut alternating yellow and green layers of cardstock on my Cameo using the shape of the frame flower as the template.  The layers are all assembled using pop dots and the flower using puffy glue.  I then cut the frame out and also the flower itself.  I colored the flower using my Copic markers (purchased from Oozak) and added Stickles and a glossy gel.  I finished my card off by adding a doily, sentiments and dots made using my markes.  It was a very simple card to make.

I hope that you will join us for this week's challenge.  We would love to have you play along with us and it is always anything goes.

Thanks for looking and commenting!

Challenge(s):
Digi Darla Challenge:  Use a Doily

Now get to creating...

Remember: There are no mistakes in cardmaking, only opportunities for creativity!

A BIG thank you to everyone so much for sharing your "40 wisdom" with me.  I have included them in my journal for this year.  I am a firm believer that you should always be open to learning new things and that knowledge often takes place outside of a classroom. 
I think this is the teacher in me. :-) 

Well, I am not going to delay any longer.  Here are the prizes and winners...

Again, I thank everyone who has joined me to celebrate my 40th!!  I truly feel honored and I hope that you will continue to follow me, because I know there will be several other opportunities to get some yummy candy. {wink*wink}

Please note there may be a delay in me responding to your emails, because I have church today.   I will respond to you as soon as I get home.

Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday...Happy Birthday!
(Steve Wonder version- lol)
 I hope that you are having a FAB day, because I am!!  Today I turn the big 40 and I am so excited, because the alternative just isn't acceptable. lol  I have a weekend packed full of FUN.  God has given me the gift of life and some added presents of  blue skies and lots of warm weather.  I thought this would be an excellent time to give-a-way some blog candy, because I would love if you parteeeeeee with me!! 

Here's how it will work...

1.  You must be a follower of my blog!  (Fair enough, right?)
2.  Link up your name using the Linky tool below.
3.   Leave me a comment on this post sharing your wisdom about turning 40 or one thing you would like to do before turning 40 (if not 40 yet).  I love to learn!
4. Tell your friends!  (Don't keep all this yumminess to yourself!)

Here's a nifty little badge that you may choose to display...

Me if I was an M&M (just arms in legs chocolate too) - lol

Easy peasy!  Just complete these four things and your name will be entered in the drawing to win one of the 4 - $10 gift certificates to four of my favorite online shopping places.  It was hard to pick four, but I have a theme going. lol

My FOUR favorite online shopping places (this time around)...

 

Create with TLC - great place to shop for Wordart!

 

Whimsy Stamps - wide variety of stamps, digis and dies!

Oozak - where I buy my Copics and so much more!

 

Scrapper's Delights - fun digis and excellent scrapbooking kits!

As I stated, it was hard to narrowe it down to four; because I am a shopaholic and I truly love all the stores I come across.  I will offer more candy down the road and will rotate my favs!  However, I must say that Create with TLC will always make the list, because Paulette's brilliant mind comes up with the perfect wordart to match whatever I am doing at the time.  I have created my own wordart for some of my creations, but if I have brain fog...Paulette comes through. 

Okay, enough gibber from me.  I hope that you will join me for this FAB 40 parteeee!!  I will announce the lucky 4 winners on July 1st!  This blog candy expires on June 30th so plenty of time to get your yummy on.

Don't forget to follow my blog, link up below and leave me a bit-o-honey of wisdom in the comments about turning 40 or what you would like to do before turning 40!
