Candy time

Hi girls,

Today there is a tutorial by me on the Copic Marker Europe blog about how I did the cheeks on Strawberry Beatrice by All That Scraps, you can find that project HERE. I got a lot of questions about the cheeks so if you want to learn the technique using Copic Markers please check out my tutorial HERE.

However... you may have read the titel to this post... I have a candy to give away. A couple of posts back I told you I was published in the latest issue (no. 82) of the Papercraft Essentials magazine. The magazine has a fabulous clear freebie set by my beloved Sylvia Zet from Wee Stamps and Ann Vento from Raindrop Echo Designs. I got a couple of questions from people wanting to get a copy of the magazine and so through the publisher I ordered a couple of magazines but decided to order one extra to give away as a candy on my blog. Just a little something for all of you who keep following me even though I don't post all that often. You guys are the best!! The magazine wasn't available out of the UK I think and it has completely sold out at the publisher so I'm hoping you guys will think this is a nice little candy to get :).

So all you need to do is be a follower to my blog or become one and leave your name in Mr. Linky. I first asked for a comment below this post but I received word that it was impossible to leave comments through Blogger again. The people who have left the first messages when Mr. Linky wasn't up yet (nwilliams6, Moni and Clevercrafter) will still count towards the candy though. I'll check on Sunday if you got a chance to enter in Mr. Linky as well and if not I'll add you to the number of entries as the last three numbers. Anyway, it doesn't matter where you are from. I'll draw one winner next Sunday and will publish the winner right here on my blog.

So good luck to you guys!!! You know you want to get this issue!!



Big hugs,

Candy time

THIS CANDY IS NOW CLOSED, a winner will be announced soon

Hi everybody!!

My little girl Amy celebrated her fourth birthday last Saturday, and since I always say I started making cards shortly after Amy was born for me this also means the fourth anniversary to my cardmaking/blogging hobby. These past four years have been SO fabulous! I have gotten to know so many amazing people, unfortunatelly also some less friendly people but since the good ones WAY outnumber the bad ones I am still so happy with making the choice to try this new hobby and start a blog. I have been able and am still at this time working for some fabulous companies and some very lovely people and some of these talented people I have even gotten to know so well that I can now call them friends.

I remember that when I started blogging I was so scared that my number of followers would just stay the way it was when I started the blog but I am so proud to have almost 800 people following me these days and another 50 following me through Networked Blogs. I have received some of the most incredible e-mails and remarks along the way and I still enjoy every single comment that's left on my blog.

To celebrate I decided to treat you to a little candy. Since I want to give something away that all my followers will enjoy I decided not to give stamps that I picked but I am giving away:

I figured that way you can decide for youself which stamps you NEED in your collection. And since there is so much gorgeousness to choose from at Whimsy Stamps I'm sure I'll make some girl (or boy) very happy with this prize.

All you need to do to enter is be or become a follower to my blog and leave a comment under this post before the 24th of April. Anybody can enter, also my design team buddies at Whimsy Stamps or any other design team I am in. On April 24th I will pick one lucky winner from the comments that are left on this post.

Good luck and thank you again for making this whole thing so much fun!!

Hugs,
