Blog Winner & Stampin' with Papertrey Ink

and card stock and ribbon. I had this sketch in my mind for awhile now and actually created a few cards with it but just didn't like the way they came out. Those cards are sitting on my BLAH box (never to be seen by anyone...LOL!) Do you have those kinds of cards? I have plenty!

I created this card for a good friend of mine for her birthday and gave her the stamp set also.... she loved it!

Card stock, ink and Swiss Dot Satin Ribbon are from Papertrey Ink February Release and the flowers and the sentiment is from a set called Time Well Spent by Stampin' Up. The flowers are stamped on Stamper's Select White card stock and stamped again on a separate card stock, cut and raised with stampin' dimensional. Flowers and sentiments are water-colored using Aqua Mist Perfect Match ink and added Crystal Stickles.

And, for my first blog candy winner... drum roll please! Toni's favorite on how you celebrate birthdays is....

Blog candy fun!

I celebrate by having all the family over and cooking a big pot of chili (her birthday is in November and she loves chili!). We usually get an ice cream cake with something girlie, this past year was Pretty Ponies, (it usually has something to do with horses, she's obsessed!) and we dance and have a blast. She loves ice cream cake almost as much as I do, which is a lot, since I reign in this area. *grin*

Me: Did you pick this because of horses?

Toni: No, because she cook a big pot of chili, that's a lot of work Mom and it seems fun!

Congratulations Gretchen , please contact me ASAP so I can send your goodies. If I hear from you by tonight I can mail this out tomorrow morning. If not, you'll have to wait until next week. Our friends and family (16 of us) are off to a Mexican Riviera cruise... we're leaving this Sunday and will be back Monday, March 31st. It's my first time on a ship and I'm so excited! Not packed yet but excited. Anyone has been on a cruise? Do you have any tips for me? I'm all s.
