YVONNE!!!

Yvonne has until 2:15 pm tomorrow to claim her prize!!!  If she doesn't, I will draw again!!!

Please be sure to visit Patsy at Prairie Bird Boutique!  She has the most amazing ribbons and seriously the most awesome and FAST customer service around!!  Thanks, Patsy!!  I hope some new customers found you!!!

BLOG CANDY! BLOG CANDY!! BLOG CANDY!!!

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN

FOR RECENT POSTS!

THIS WILL REMAIN AT TOP TILL SUNDAY!

Here it is!  The blog candy that I have been warning you about!!  Through my fellow Design Team gal-pal ANDREA, I found this awesome supplier of "shabby wrinkled" rayon ribbon!!  It's actually seam binding and it also can be ironed out flat!! A bit of versatility there depending on what style your creation is!

So WHERE do you get this awesome array of beautiful colored ribbons?  From Patsy at PRAIRIE BIRD BOUTIQUE!!  She sells them through her etsy store HERE in bundles of three, just like this one, which is called 'Past Autumn' which features ribbon in rust, deep burgundy and an avocado green, just gorgeous!  EACH color is five yards (YEP!  15 FEET EACH COLOR!!), giving you 15 yards of fun for just $5.00!  I KNOW!  I could hardly believe it myself!!  That's LESS than $1.75 a color for 5 yards!!  CRAZY, Right??!!

Well, I am giving this bundle away to help promote Patsy's gorgeous products because I just love them all so much and really want to help her business blossom so she continues to sell these beautiful ribbons!  HOW do you get entered?  A few different ways!

You will get an entry for EACH of the following...
Do ONE or do them ALL to better your chances!

1. Leave a comment on this post telling me which is your favorite color-bundle of shabby wrinkled ribbons from Patsy's store HERE.

2. Post about this blog candy on YOUR blog (NOT in your sidebar) and link back to me your post!!
     2b. {if you include the blogcandy picture, I will give you an EXTRA ENTRY!!)

3. Become a follower of my GottaHavePaper blog for an entry!

4. Share it on FaceBook and you get another entry!!


Pretty simple, right?  I think so!  If you want to see these ribbons being used on some fabulous creations check out Andrea's blog HERE!  I just got my order from Patsy, so I haven't used them but a few times, but tomorrow I have a card featuring Patsy's ribbons from Prairie Bird Boutique and I think you will love it!

Blog Candy entries will be received from now until Sunday, August 22nd at NOON eastern time!  I will announce the winner that evening and you will have 24 hours to claim it, or I will draw again!  Please help spread the word about Patsy's ribbons, they are just gorgeous and you will love them, I PROMISE! 

GOOD LUCK!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE digital stamps, but there are some awesome techniques you can do with inked images!  And I nearly forgot what that INK smelled like!  yummmmmm!

Here's my creation using the newly release CLEAR STAMP SET WOOF YOU!!!!!!!!  Isn't this doggie just the cutest in his little ol' bandana!? AWWW!  I used Brilliance Coffee Bean Brown to stamp the doggie and sentiment and then colored them using Copics!  I made up this sketch as I went along!  I do like how it turned out!!  Papers are by My Mind's Eye.

BLOG CANDY

My Friend LISA is holding a BLOG CANDY CELEBRATION for her 29th Birthday, see below and then CLICK HERE to see how to enter!

PLEASE READ! IMPORTANT INFO! BLOG CANDY!

As I announced last Monday, I am changing the URL/http: of this blog tomorrow!  DO NOT LOSE ME!  Add yourself as a follower, or put me in your favorites today!  You can always remove yourself as a follower later!

This blog will change as of 10:00 PM eastern time MONDAY NIGHT.

Tomorrow on this blog, there will be a BLOG HOP for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps!  And in order to not confuse the people involved in the hop on such short notice, I decided to change the blog tomorrow NIGHT!  This blog is currently andersonartsonline(dot)blogspot(dot)com.   THIS is changing, and all posts will be transfered to:

GOTTAHAVEPAPER (dot) BLOGSPOT
(dot) COM

Make note of it!  OKIE DOKIE!?

EVEN MORE IMPORTANT INFO for TOMORROW...........

Tomorrow is the DEBUT of my JEWELRY & GIFT BLOG!  YEP, believe it or not, I am ON TIME for ONCE in my life!  It has taken some long days and long nights and A TONNNNNNN of jpegs, but it is up and ready for your review tomorrow at 7am or SOONER!

The Jewelry & Gift blog is:

GOTTAHAVEBLING (dot) BLOGSPOT
(dot) COM

AGAIN, make note of it!!!!

Did I mention BLOG CANDY!?! 

OH, yes I DID!  Over at GottaHaveBling, there will be BLOG CANDY!  I won't tell you what it is, but it is worth your while heading over in the morning!  Get ready to tell your friends and neighbors, because if you do, you get even MORE chances to win!

That's it!  I have been working on the debut for the past 48 hours straight, minus sleeping of course!  And there's tons to see and tons for sale!  I look forward to picking up the jewelry line again after nearly a year off.  From my son graduating high school in May to some medical issues that went sour, 2009 was NOT a pleasant year for me and it did NOT let me craft beyond my card-making; and even THAT suffered somewhat, too.  So, I really look forward to creating more jewelry and gifts and taking custom orders, too! 

SEE YOU TOMORROW!

I WON!

Anyone love penguins as much as my Mother-In-Law?? I doubt it! LOL!

I won this adorable new stamp set that was just released last Friday by OUR CRAFT LOUNGE! Believe it or not, but I actually won TWO sets! But, I could keep ONE, so I chose this cutie patootie stamp set! This was their best blog hop by far! SO MANY fall stamp sets featuring Halloween items GALORE! You really need to check out these sets, talk about CUTE!

I guess now I can't say that nothing good comes from sitting around all day with your foot propped up and bedridden! If I wasn't stuck doing nothing but blog-hopping I wouldn't have come across the Our Craft Lounge blog hop where they gave away 31 honkin' stamp sets! I love these sets, they are so cute and PERFECT for my Copic Coloring! Check out the rest of the stamp sets HERE on the Eclectic Paperie website, which is just one online store you can purchase OCL stamps from!

When I get this set in I will be sure to hook you up with my new creations! Just can't wait to get it!

Make it a SUPAH day!

Did ya see....

.... my post below? Did you see my lovely COPIC coloring?? Well, guess what??? CRAFTY GOINGS ON is giving away this set of 72 Copics! I THOUGHT you would want to know! I was right, wasn't I?!

Wednesday Winner for APRIL 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY! Can you believe it? WHEW! What a weekend it was! Here's the Wednesday Winner crafted of sterling silver, Swarovski Crystals and handmade lampworked glass beads in yellow and a melon red! STUNNING! AND with these colors you are SURE not to mis-place your keys!

I should mention that the honkin' funky key on here is silver-tone, not sterling, that would be crazy for me to give away that for free! HA! I found this cool key at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago and thought it would be a fun addition to a keybling (my word for keychain)! This would be a perfect Mother's Day gift, would it not?

Ok, so how do you win? Comment on this post telling me your favorite jewelry piece you have now. Wedding rings? Sentimental gift? I love jewelry and jewelry STORIES! If you want more entries, posting this on your blog will give you one additional entry and for every time you click on the Top 100 Tent/Banner (at left) and enter the site (just by clicking on the long bar) you will get another additional entry! You can do this every 24 hours!

{Please note that once you enter the TOP 100 Site you DO NOT need to give me a rating OR leave a comment on the site! JUST by seeing my Anderson Arts banner with beads on it, gives me a vote!}



Notice that I am extending the drawing date. It will not be THIS Wednesday, however, but the following, on April 1st. The Wednesday I may be at the Zoo in Evansville with the kiddos, since we are on Spring Break. Plus I just posted it and it would be silly to draw in two days! This works to your advantage so you can spread the word and vote every 24 hours at the Top 100 Jewelry & Beaders Website, too! Every time you enter the site and vote just leave a comment on this post telling me my rank! I am currently on the first page, ranked at 15! NOT BAD!

So, let the games begin! HAVE A SUPER DAY!

Wednesday Winner POSTED!

Whether you can hear the audio or not, WATCH THE VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will post next week's Wednesday Winner tomorrow!!!!!!!!

Wednesday Winner for March 11th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting back to the 'basics' here! This week's Wednesday Winner is this summery-looking Birthday card; perfect for gift-giving over the next few months! Please don't be disappointed that it isn't another necklace or stamping supply! I will do that all too soon again, though, I promise!

Hmm... How do you win?? Let's see... I KNOW!

Since Spring Breaks are upon us, leave a comment on what you plan to do on your spring break! If you have no plans, then... what do you WISH you could do for an entire week??? Keep it clean; NO wishing that you could find the Bachelor Jason, in hopes that he will change his mind AGAIN to be with you! LOL! {I am so funny sometimes!} Enjoy the week!

Thanks for playing! Drawing will be March 11th at noontime!

Wednesday Winner for March 4th!!!!!!!!

Here you go people! Here's the next Wednesday Winner! HOW DO YOU WIN??? Just leave a comment on this post telling me if you prefer rubber or clear stamps! I am really curious! I used to not like clear, but have since found out that there are different types of clear stamps! AND man, do they stamp different! If you want to hook your blog up to this post, you will double your chance to win! Just hook me up!

GOOD LUCK!
