I meant to post the winner last night and got so caught up in some other things that I didn't get a chance to post the winner.

Congratulations Denise! Send me an email with your snailmail addy and I will get your goodies out to you!

I had my one year 'Blogaversary' back in November and completely forgot to celebrate with some Blog Candy, so I decided it was about time!

This past year has been absolutely amazing creatively speaking (personal, not so much lol). I have made so many wonderful lifelong stamping friends, joined some amazing design teams and grown in my stamping art beyond my wildest imagination. My blog took off and became something that I never imagined that it could be. I have had over 220k hits to my blog in the last 14 months. I truly am blessed to be in the company of so many amazing and talented people! I appreciate all of you who come and peek in on my blog daily and leave me so many sweet and flattering comments and also for those of you who email me with questions that I am more than happy to answer.

All you need to do to win this wonderful blog candy is leave a comment on this post! Up for grabs is the new set from Hanna Stamps - Celebration, My Favorite Things Mini of the Month - Be Mine, Opal Liquid Pearls, 5/8" Chocolate and Red Grosgrain Ribbon and a handmade card using Hanna's Domestic Goddess stampset. I will pick a winner randomly on Sunday evening. Good Luck!

ETA** The Moose Are On the Loose over at Hanna Stamps! Kristi has released the newest stamps early - you can get yours here!

Here is a peek at my niece's baby shower invitations that I promised I would show you last week. Her theme is jungle animals, so I thought the adorable elephant from MFT's 'It's a Jungle out There' would be perfect! And of course I had to color him blue. Kelsey is having a boy and her mom and I are sooooo excited and can't wait for Brayden to be here!

So I was sitting at my stamp table last night and was staring at my gobs and gobs of SU! stampsets and thought I should grab one of my "oldies" and get some ink on it.............I decided to use Living Large. I remember back when I first saw this set, I HAD to have it!! I haven't used it in so long, but I still adore it and won't part with it.

Who can resist Regal Rose, Real Red and Chocolate Chip paired together? Well, apparently not me - I want to reach for it everytime I do a Valentine card! The background is stamped with the heart from Priceless. I went crazy with my paper piercer on this card........I was doing faux eyelets and faux stitching like a mad woman - baahaha! I made several of this particular card for you guessed it, a card order.

I will be back tomorrow with a glimpse of one of the Baby Shower Invites I have been working on.

Isn't Hanna the Domestic Goddess, just the cutest thing ever?!!! The minute I saw this set, I knew it would be a winner! I had such a blast coloring her! Isn't she gorgeous with her bling while she is cleaning?! She will make her debut on February 1 at Hanna Stamps.

This Friday, Jan 25th is Kristi's Birthday (owner of Hanna Stamps), so to help celebrate it,we are having a birthday party on the Hanna SCS Forum from 8-11 EST. We are going have a ton of fun. Kristi will be giving away never before released sets, Riley Moose, Domestic Goddess and other Hanna Stamps.

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend - I sure did. Robyn and I got together again this weekend to do some stamping/scrapbooking...........well I stamped and she worked on her scrapbook. I used to be a huge scrapbooker, but when I found stamping that sort of took a backseat. I love the instant gratification I get from my stamping - it takes me forevah to get a scrapbook page completed.

This is one of the cards that I worked on while I was at Robyn's. I just got my pack of SU! Jersey Shore DP on Friday (it's delish!) and decided that I wanted to make a card using the Happy Heart Day set, but didn't want to make a valentine card. This card just goes to show you that you can use this set for anything, not just valentine cards. I absolutely LOVE this color combo........and I always forget about pumpkin pie......it's such a yummy color!
