TPV Challenge & a giveaway!

It is sooo awesome to be back online, again! I live in central Illinois and got a big dose of that nasty blizzard that came through the midwest this past week. My power stayed on, but I lost internet for 3 days - it's great to be back in the blogosphere!

I should've scheduled my posts earlier in the week, but I didn't.. blah.. So a few days late, here are a couple things I wanted to share..

The Paper Variety Challenge!

The challenge this week at The Paper Variety is photo inspiration :) Maybe you like the colors, the hearts, the cute sayings.. grab whatever inspires you and get crafty :)

I put together this sweet lil card using the photo's colors and candy hearts :) I used papers and accessories from WRMK's "Be My Valentine" collection. You can see the whole collection here.

You still have a few days to enter the challenge at TPV as projects are due Tuesday at noon. Give it a go because you don't wanna miss out on the chance to win our awesome prize sponsored by Apron Strings Designs! Fabulous, eh?? :) :)

Did you click the link to see the "Be My Valentine" collection? Do you love it as much as I do? I hope so because I'm hosting a giveaway :) You could win some of this super sweet and colorful line just by commenting on this post. Just leave a comment and tell me the name of your lovable huggable Valentine :) Easy peasy!

My Valentine is my son, Braydon. He's the sweetest, most lovable lil guy I know! I'm so lucky to have a great kid that still loves to hug and snuggle with his Mom :)

I'll announce a random winner on Tuesday evening! Be sure to come back to see if you've won, as the winner must claim the prize by Sat 2/12. Sorry, US and Canada only due to high shipping costs. Thanks and Good Luck! :)

  2. My main squeeze is of course my wonderful husband Dave....I just love it when he will walk into my scraproom on the other side of the house just to kiss me and see what I am working on. I am also lucky enough to have 3 adorable grandchildren who give me lots of hugs and kisses when I am in town. It is hard to live 1000 miles away. Thanks for the offer of an awesome prize.
