Many thanks to Flourishes for making this possible!  Do you feel lucky today?

Joanne Leddy — you’ve won the Rubbernecker $10 gift certificate!  Thank you all for playing along.  I appreciate every one of your comments — you make my heart feel good!  Joanne, I’ll contact you by email.  Have a great day, everyone!

I had the most fun making this card.  I don’t know…it just makes me feel good.  It’s not all pretty and girly.  There are no flowers, gemstones or satiny ribbon.  In fact, it’s supposed to be a guy card.  I’m trying to broaden my thinking as to what, exactly, constitutes a guy card.  I generally lean toward outdoor themes or subjects that are inherently “guy”.  But, gosh, what about something on the lighter side once in a while?  Most of my favorite guys have a sense of humor and I think this card would be okay with them.

This is my Howling Cats stamp from Rubbernecker.  It tickles my funny bone but then, I’m sort of a cat fancier.  They look like guy cats, I think.  Our cat, Marvin, somewhat resembles the gray cat on the left.  Marvin and an orange neighborhood cat sometimes get together and howl like this, although I don’t think it’s done with quite the same spirit of camaraderie as the characters in the stamp.

You know how sometimes everything seems to work out just right when you make a card?  Well, that’s how I feel about this one.  I knew right away what colors the cats would be.  In turn, I thought immediately of this paper.  The fibers were chosen because they were the right color and they look yarn-like for cats — *and* — they’re not girly.  The layout just sort of happened.  It’s simple but I like it.  The cats are colored with soft chalks.  There’s more information about that process in my previous post.  I always finish off a chalked image with spray matte sealer, usually a couple of coats.  It dries very quickly.

• Stamps:  Howling Cats SKU:  76-09, Cat’s Meow Text SKU:  76-13
• Paper:  More Mustard, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White, BasicGrey Oh, Baby Boy designer paper
• Ink:  Palette Hybrid Noir
• Accessories:  Chalks for coloring, hardware, fibers, spray matte sealer, Scotch brand foam mounting tape

Now, for the fun and games!  It’s my turn to share a $10 Gift Certificate to be used at checkout when you place your order at Rubbernecker Stamp Company.  Your comment here will be your entry.  A winner will be chosen by this random number generator.  Gosh, $10 is more than enough for the two stamps I used on today’s card.  They have lots of other stamping supplies at Rubbernecker, too.

Be sure to visit Sherry’s blog for a chance to win the same prize.  You can only win once, but you have two chances.  Good luck!

Jen, if you’re reading this and you recognize your own post, please contact me to claim your goodies.  I’ll try to contact you by email, also.  Congratulations!

Thank you!  Have a wonderful weekend!

I couldn’t let the month pass by without a little celebration of my first anniversary — my Blogiversary.  I can hardly believe it’s been a year already.  My, how time flies!  I’d like to thank all of you for being so supportive — taking the time to visit and comment.  I’ve connected with some pretty great folks through this little blog of mine and it’s been a wonderful experience.

I’m going to keep this open until Friday, Feb. 29 at 12:30 pm Pacific time.  The winner will be selected with a random number generator and I’ll announce the winner on Saturday, March 1.

For a chance to win simply leave a comment.  Any old comment will do.  Here’s what I have for you:

• A full 12 x 12 pack of BasicGrey Stella Ruby designer paper
• A pack of BasicGrey charms that will look wonderful with Stella
• Coordinating ribbons and ric rac
• Three alterables:  A board book, a photo frame and a tin

I wish it could be more.  In fact, it seemed like more until I took the picture, but I hope the winner enjoys it!  Good luck and thank you so much!

As promised, at 8:00 pm Pacific time tonight I took one last look at the total number of comments on the blog candy.  I entered the numbers, 1 through 271, in this random number generator and it came up with………………….#9!  And who is #9?  Well…………………….it’s………………………Terry!  Congratulations, Terry!  Be sure and contact me with your address so I can send your package to you.

I’ll look forward to addressing your questions and suggestions as soon as possible.  I appreciate every one of them.  Thank you all for your time, your kindness, and for making my blogging experience a happy one.  Have a wonderful day!

The folks at Flourishes have very generously given me an extra Peace set to share with you.  You may have already tried your hand at winning this set on one of the other Flourishes designer’s blogs.  Did you win?  No?  Well, here’s another chance!

As you can see I’ve also included some Christmas themed designer papers and coordinating ribbons.  Now, the only thing you have to do for a chance to win is leave a comment on this post.  You don’t have to answer any questions.  This is meant to be a thank you from Flourishes and a gesture of friendship from me.  If there’s something in particular you’d like to see when you visit me here, please, I’d love to hear about it.  If I can accomodate your request I’ll dedicate that post to you.  I’d also like to encourage your questions (not that I have all the answers) and I’ll do a question and answer thing when I get them all (if any) compiled.

Your comments will be automatically numbered and a winner will be selected by a random number generator on Monday, September 24 at 8:00 pm.  The winner will be announced shortly thereafter.

Good luck to you all!

Kim does and she’s sharing it on her blog, Inked.  She’s got ribbon, buttons, Primas, paper, brads and Stickles!  Yummy!  She’ll draw a winner Monday night so there’s a three day window of opportunity left for you.  And while you’re there, you just may enjoy taking a look around and reading some of her posts.  Have fun and good luck!
