Well, not literally - but my blog is moving! I have decided to make the move on over to Typepad. I have been working on my Typepad blog on and off for a couple of weeks trying to get it ready - there's been a lot of sickness in my house and a lot of DT work, but I finally finished it and it's up and running. My blog address will stay the same with the exception it will say typepad at the end instead of blogspot. The new address is: http://www.inkinitupwithkendra.typepad.com

I will be posting a few of my valentine projects today or tomorrow on the new blog, so make sure you run on over and check it out - Inkin' It Up!

I am soooo glad it's Friday, this has been one long work week! I am still finishing up Valentine card orders and have been working non-stop to get those finished so I can move on to some other projects and DT duties I need to get to.

Here is another favorite color combo of mine that I don't use near enough........Pumpkin Pie, Taken with Teal and Cool Caribbean - of course I had to add a splash of Tres Jolie DP. I needed to make a few birthday cards and pulled out my MFT Icing on the Cake set - love, love, love this cupcake image and yeah that "starburst" background image is another one of my faves!

Don't forget about the new release party in the Gina K. Designs Forum on SCS this Sunday evening between 7-10 central. You won't want to miss all the new goodies because they are TDF!!!

Stamps: MFT's Icing On The Cake
Ink: Palette Noir
Cardstock: WW, Pumpkin Pie, Taken with Teal, Cool Caribbean, Tres Jolie DP

I am still trying to finish up my valentine card orders - WOW, there have been a bunch! I truly love this color combo and have been wanting to reach for it every single time. Don't even get me started on the SU! 5/8 Grosgrain ribbon - I LOVE that stuff!!!! I have ordered a gob of it and I still feel like I need more! baahaa

I grabbed a couple of different MFT sets to make this card - Be Mine, Icing on the Cake and Hearts Galore. I grabbed my copic markers and colored the box of chocolates - then used my clear glaze pen to go over the chocolates and my white gel pen to create "icing" on the darker chocolates. It looks yumm-o!

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!
