Who Wants Stamps?
Good morning!! As I said in my last post, today is my 1 year Blogaversary! It's amazing to me that it's been a whole year already! I've made some wonderful friends through this blog, become part of 2 wonderful design teams and had a lot of fun!! To celebrate, I'm giving some Jules Jewels - yea for you!! Through the generosity of Maria and Christie I have 2 new stamp sets to give away, so I will have 2 prizes.
The first I will be drawing for is from Paper Pretties' new line of clear stamps, called Cuddle Me. I can't seem to get enough of sweet Sophia and her teddy bear! When I was growing up my teddy bear was a panda - it's quite sad looking now but I loved that bear so much! I thought Sophia needed to have a panda today. I used my new Basic Grey Two Scoops pad - the colors and patterns in this pad are so pretty (I got mine from Verve Visual).
Cardstock: Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Shimmery White, Basic Grey Two Scoops, Stamps: Cuddle Me, Ink: India Ink Black, Accessories: Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Aquapainter, Soft Sky Stitched Ribbon, Bella Baubles (Tropical Algae)
The second set I will be giving away is from Kitchen Sink Stamps, Forever & Always. This is one of the 3 new Valentine's sets and it's full of great images and words that you can use for anniversaries and anything related to love! Plus this set coordinates with the KSS set, Thanks With Style so the images can be used together quite nicely for even more choices! I also used a heart from Love & Luck.Cardstock: Shimmery White, Purely Pomegranate, dp (it was given to me so I'm not sure who makes it), Stamps: Forever & Always, Love & Luck, Inks: Purely Pomegranate, Pixie Pink Dewdrop, Regal Rose, Accessories: Purely Pomegranate Stitched Ribbon, Shimmer Brad (Making Memories), Dimensionals, White Organdy Ribbon (retired SU!)
So please leave me a comment in order to be in the drawing - let's see . . . tell me what occasion is your favorite to make cards for! Do you like making all occasion cards, birthday cards, cute card, etc. I will draw 2 names on Wednesday morning, so tell your friends and keep those comments coming! Have a great weekend!!
Congratulations on your blogaversary! I seem to mostly make "thank you" cards. I think they're SO important...saying "thank you" means so much, and having a home made card means all the more.
ReplyDeleteI like to make cards that are just because - thinking of you cards!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the goodies!! Happy Blogaversary!!
I love making fall and halloween cards. There are just so many wonderful images and possibilities. Beautiful cards, funny cards, it's my favaorite season! Hope I win one of those great blog candy offerings.
ReplyDeleteMary Puskar
Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteI love to make birthday cards!
I love to make birthday cards as there seems to be a need for more of them than any other card. I also really enjoy making "friends" cards for no reason other than to just say how much I care for them. Thanks for this great giveaway. I would love either.

Definitely birthday! They are always SO fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary!
No occasion at all ... just because or thinking of you ... I think cards should be sent every day.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Julie! Can you believe how quickly a year goes by? I am loving your Sophia cards, they have all been lovely. I personally make either Brithday or General cards for everything. I only seem to make other cards when something comes up that needs the specific card. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary! I like making birthday cards - I'm a sucker for a cake or cupcake stamp!
ReplyDeleteI love to make birthday cards. Especially girly ones! Thanks for the chance :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blogaversary!
ReplyDeleteI love making Thank you cards and Just because cards. like RAK's. Just card telling others how they are in your thoughts and heart. and how much they mean to you. those are the best cards to make.
Congrats on your blogaversary & keep up the good work! I luv to make Birthday cards! So much fun to make. Thanks for offering up some blog candy!

Congratulations on your blog anniversary!!! For me, I love to make "friendship" cards w/ cutesy designs. I'm a sucker for cutesy things. My friends are like family & I want them to know how special they are to me!!!
ReplyDeletecongratulations, Julie! both prizes are awesome!! I love Thank You cards, to express appreciation for something they did or are to you (it's the best to get!)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 'blogaversary'! I seem to make mostly HAPPY cards - which I use for birthday's & thank you's.
ReplyDeleteBlogaversary - a great thing to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteI think that what I like most to make is babycards. Either for pregnant women, newborns or baptizing.
Happy blogaversary Julie! You're so generous, thanks for giving away those great stamps.
ReplyDeleteI mostly make birthday and thank you cards, but one of my resolutions for the new year is to become more creative, so I think I should force myself to make cards for other occasions too.
I think I have probably made more Christmas cards than anything else, but I love making all kinds. Thanks for the candy and Happy Blogaversary!!
ReplyDeleteLindaWebb11@aol.com
Thanks for the chance at blog candy!! I love making Halloween cards. I hardly ever actually send them out (not sure why)but I love making them!!
ReplyDeleteI just like making random cards-no special occasions. I just make them out of season, so now I made Christmas and Thanksgiving-not for later but for when I should have been doing it.
ReplyDeletei love making birthday cards, as i like birthdays. happy blogversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary Jules!! I like any occasion to make cards! I just like making cards!! :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the blogaversary. I make cards for all kinds of occasions. Thank you cards and birthday cards are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win some awesome prizes!
I love making pregnant and baby cards. Not sure why. Maybe because it is such an exciting time. Angelina
ReplyDeleteI love to make cards for all occassions but my favorite is probably Christmas cards. My style is layered, uncluttered and on the cutesy side. I'm crazy about all of your cards and am excited that you are celebrating your blogaversary with us:)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blogaverary! It has been fun seeing the cards you have made through the design teams. I love making Christmas cards and winter/snow cards. Since we still have snow on the ground and more coming tomorrow, I probably won't put my snow sets away for at least another month! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWow a year sure does goes fast! Congratulation!! I've been reading your blog for quite some time too. I'd love to be entered into your blog candy give away.

Congrats on your 1 year Blogaversary! I love making make all kinds of cards regardless of the reason. My family and friends look more forward to the card then they do the gift. One Xmas I didn't make cards I bought cards due and they were so upset but they didn't say anything because the understood why I didn't make the cards but you can tell from their faces they were disappointed. So now my 12 year old sister always ask your making cards right. LOL!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary! Well I've just started making cards a couple of months now but my fav. cards are just because cards. I love to see someone's face when I gave them a card and they get a smile on their face nothing beats it :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your anniversary! My favorite creating time, by far, is Christmas cards, tags, gifts, etc. However, that time is very short, so second would probably be thank you cards. :) heather
ReplyDeletecongrats on your blogaversary!
ReplyDeleteI seem like to make birthday cards and little holiday too...
thanks for the chance awesome candy!

Congrats! I'm with a lot of the others. . .I like to make birthday cards. But I also like to make some "just because". There are a few people who admire the stuff I've made in the past and it's fun to make them something to surprise them with one!
ReplyDeleteLove the sets you're giving away!
My favorite occasion is of course, Christmas. But anything I can color makes me happy. I so enjoy reading and learning from your blog. Keep up the good work and congratulations on your blogaversary.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Julie. I ESPECIALLY like to make valentine cards that express my love. In the "old days" I remember making each of my kids and husband poster sized collages cut from magazines. Some were really funny, but now I have super stamps to help me express my love individually. Hugs from Nana Brown. (Camden gets to go home on Tuesday!!!)
ReplyDeleteWOW, you sure are generous!! These are both awesome prizes!!! I love making Happy Birthday cards because I like to donate them to Ronald McDonald House and Cards For Troops.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Congrats on your anniversary! I don't really have a favorite holiday to make cards....I just LOVE to make cards whenever I get the chance, which is not too often. Thanks for the chance to win some blog bling!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary!!! I love making "just because" cards for no reason at all, just to say hi. But my favorite holiday to make cards is Halloween. I just love the fun colors you have to work with.
ReplyDeleteCongrats again and I look forward to what this next year has in store for your site!
Happy Blogaversary! I love to make Birthday cards the most. I tend to try to use images, colors, etc that apply toward that person. There's nothing better than getting a home made card that shows you thought of that persons likes.
ReplyDeleteHello thanks for hosting...I like to make the Christmas cards. They were some of my first and I find so many colours to use besides the traditional red and green.
ReplyDeleteBela
I love to make birthday cards the best - probably because I need so many. I would make more valentine's, but that's only for one day a year!
ReplyDeleteYour valentine is SO beautiful - that stamp set is gorgeous.
Thanks for the offer.

I am so happy for ME that you decided to start a blog 1 year ago!! Your talent inspires me! I like stamping when I'm inspired by someone else. I'm not terribly creative, but I can take someone else's idea and run with it. I call it stealing ideas - but I'm so lucky others call it casing!! Thank you so much, Julie...for your willingness to share your love of stamping.

Thank you Julie for the chance to win. I love your blog, you have enabled me often. I just got the 3 step daisy and am addicted to these stamps. I need to get some photos on my new blog, I'm trying to keep updated. I love to make cards that can be used for multiple things by stamping a sentiment at the last minute-LOL
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blogaversary! I enjoy making all kinds of cards. Anything to be crafty! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeletehey there!!!
ReplyDeletemy fav is really for no occasion. i love to create cards for friends and surprise them with it. so i guess the occasion is called "non-occasion" :) just general i love u to my friends!!

I like making Birthday cards! But any occasion to send a homemade card is a favorite one.
ReplyDeleteI love making any kind of cards....I am really not picky! Congrats on your blogaversary!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary to you!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite type of cards to make are "no reason" cards. I like to use random stamps that really have no specific purpose to them (coffee, flowers, animals)
Thanks for the contest. Would always love to win new stamps (well, frankly, i'd just love to win-LOL)
Congrats.
Terri
My favorite cards to make are funny birthday cards. Everyone could always use a good laugh. Happy Blogaversary! (That sounds so funny but it is exciting to us bloggers) Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of just because cards. the majority of my cards have NO sentiments on the inside. mainly cause my cards are practice.....I am still fairly new but my cards are getting better and every time I do one I get so proud with how much better they look!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance at some blog candy and so happy to be blog stalking now that your a pretties girl :)
Happy Blogaversary! You're so generous, thanks for giving away those great treats. I mostly send "Thinking of you cards" because I can use any stamp, color, etc. No limits. Thanks again for a chance at the goodies.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blogaversary! I really like making thank you cards - when people take the time to do something nice, it seems like the least I can do to give back. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like making new baby cards. Brings back memories...

Congratulations on your blogaversary! You're celebrating your one year, and I am just starting my blog on the same day!
ReplyDeleteI find that I really enjoy making cards that say: For You. It's not quite a birthday card, but can be used for a birthday.
Congratulations on your one year Blogaversary! I like making thank you cards because I think it is important to say "thank you". Maybe because I like hearing those words so much! =)
