Scroll down for the candy!!!
Here’s my card for 2Sketches4You. It’s Laura’s sketch #22 (very versatile sketch – LOVE it!!!). Our sponsor for this week is DeNami stamps and they’ve got a few goodies for this week’s winner. So go and check out 2S4Y to see all the prize details, what the other DTs did with the stamps they received and their take on the sketch!!
From DeNami and what’s posted on 2S4Y site:
My weekend was productive and relaxing. Not a lot of crafting but got the house cleaned and we even visited with a friend and her little man. Laundry is still going but hey, that part of our chore never seems to end, right? Sometimes my laundry pile makes me want to join a nudist colony ha ha ha…
The blog candy… I have put together a few stuff which you can see below. I’m very bad at these types of things. I totally missed my one year blog anniversary and plus I have no idea when it was exactly since I started this blog early last year and didn’t actually do anything to it until months later. I just saw that I’ve passed the 100k mark a long time ago and just checked my Feedburner and I have 320+ subscribers (WOW, very amazed!!!).
So, as a little thank you for subscribing, visiting, and/or leaving comments, I have the following to give to one winner: American Craft alphas + flower/swirly stickers and “Party” pattern paper, a little bit of Amy Butler and Three Bugs in A Rug paper, brads from Doodle Bug and Stammina, and the Jan.’09 Scrapbook Trends magazine. One of my digi layout and tutorial is featured in there and lots and lots of scrappy and a few card inspiration – very fun magazine!!
What you need to do is simple… just leave a comment with a suggestion of an awesome book (or two or more) that I can read at the hospital while I’m waiting for #2 and after she’s born — when she’s asleep and I have nothing else to do at the hospital (the hospital was so relaxing compare to the first few months at home – are you with me, moms?). Reading takes my mind off things (e.g. pain) and of course it’s always more enjoyable when it’s a good book. I love non-fiction (although Harry Potter, Gone with the Wind, and Emma’s awesome too) and my latest read was Jen Lancaster and Three Cups of Tea – which I love. I really enjoy stories about Americans in France, like Almost French or Norton the Cat: The Cat Who Went to Paris (deep inside I wish to live in France). It’s ok if you haven’t read it yourself. If you heard it’s good, let me know! Good luck! I’ll close the blog candy Sunday the 29th at noon CST and it’s open to anybody in any part of the world.

Don’t forget, two blog candies this week — both will be closed Friday, April 25, at 4 p.m. You can participate in both if you like, just leave a comment.
Digi Blog: $10 gift certificate to The DigiChick
Stamp set: H&M new May release
I did some doodling because I wanted to try Daring Cardmaker’s tutorial on this topic. I like it, kind of fun and I still have some white space too — or green space {::SMILES}. You can see a more detail picture in my Flickr gallery.
M was about 4-mo when we were at Ventura Beach. Hubby was on temporary duty at Edwards AFB for 3.5 months. We visited at least once a month. To me, it was kind of like vacation — with free accommodations, ha! We were glad when the duty was over though and M had to relearn to know her daddy again. Because of this assignment (and dad was on night shift before leaving for CA), M became distant with her daddy. She was about two when or maybe older when they got closer (dad was gone again when she was 14-mo for another four months). Before that, everything was mom. I’d be cooking and carrying her because she didn’t want anything to do with dad. Now she’s great with him although on many occasions she’d rather be with me than dad. Ah… the military life.
Digi Blog Candy Because…

I Am a DigiChick Hybrid CT. Yeah!!! I am so excited to be one of The Digi Chick’s Hybrid CT. This is my first permanent position at a big digi store. What will I do? Create hybrid, a combo of digital and traditional, craft — so either card, scrapbook page, or altered. What will I use? New and fun products from the designers at TDC. WOWSER!!! I’ll also be working with other very talented ladies, some are also CTs at other big stores, e.g. Prima Hybrid (yes, the company that sells those cute flowers). So yes, I didn’t make it to Scrap Artist or A Million Memories but I kept trying (Yes, want to be in a CT? While having fun creating keep trying and submit, submit, submit!) and now I’m a CT at TDC doing what I love most — paper and digi. I plan on using all sorts of media, stamps and ink included, into my work.
EDIT: You can be anywhere in the world to participate — I just need your email address if you win and the GC will arrive in your email box.
To share my excitement, I have another blog candy… $10 gift certificate to TDC! Just post a comment before Friday, April 25, 4 p.m. CST and let me know why you visit and if you’re here for my tuts, let me know what others you’d like to see. I am planning on doing PSE6 for Mac after this semester is over (May!) – if this is something that will be of interest to you. Let me know!
Like the other blog candy, the M randomizer will choose the winner {::SMILES}.
Stampin’ Blog Candy and News
Posted on | April 21, 2008 | 18 Comments
Let me start with H&M Stamps’ coupon. They’re opening their store to you April 25th. That’s this coming Friday! To celebrate, Heather the owner, is offering the first 200 customers a $5 coupon on their purchase of $25 or more. Just plop in this coupon code at checkout: HMDT42508. Isn’t this nice?
Next, I have a blog candy courtesy of H&M stamps. Yeah!!! What will you get? Well, you get to pick one of the following three that will be released May 25th. If you are the winner, keep this date in mind too, your stamp set will not be sent until then. The stamps are called ADINO Day…Celebrate the Day…and It’s Picnic Time.
If you’re curious about the quality, picky me can tell you that these stamps do very well on Stampin’ Up! classic ink pads. The results are great clean and crisp images. They’re not like some of those store bought ones. There’s no grabbing your eraser and rubbing the stamps. H&M Stamps work right out of the box. This is high quality stuff.
So come on, post a comment by Friday, April 25th, 4 p.m. CST. What do you need to post… hmm…. well, since this is my first blog candy, I’d like to know why you visit my blog… is it for the cards, the scrapbooking, the tutorials, or just because {::SMILES} and what you’d like to see more of. Tomorrow, I’ll show you a (at least I think) special creation using one of the stamp set that will be release Friday. How will the winner be picked? By the M randomizer — ha ha… yeah, this was M’s job at the scrap event a few weekends ago. She loved it.
