I only post twice a week

apparently! ;p I guess with spring here and school getting ready to finish up for the year, I've just had a lot on my plate. BUT the good thing is- I have lots of stuff to share with you today.

First- would you like to win $500? Reminisce is debuting their Freedom Collection and you can win by entering your best layouts using a majority of the new Freedom Collection! You have til June 15th to get yours in!

Next I have a challenge post- no not some blog challenge, but one that my sister, Kelly, sent me.

I had borrowed her Close To My Heart stamp set- Cottage Floral- and she had these scraps left of the papers that match the stamps. So she challenged me to make as many cards as I could with them. She also sent me these terrific envelopes- so I used those to make the card, and a simple stamped notecard to go inside.

I also made two regular cards, but it was fun to use a collection I'd never played with, and I loved stamping and cutting out the flowers! I used my Colorbox stamp inks- and popdotted up all the cutout flowers. I also used one of her CTMH butterfly stamps as well.

Next I am sharing one of the layouts I did for the bobunny blog. For this layout, I used the cool tool, the FLEX ruler- I made a wave and cut it out, matching it again for the top and bottom and cutting out a second set for a layered look. I also used lots of Pet Shoppe papers and stickers. This is our kitty Sugar, she's my sweetheart.

Next is a layout for the Alissa line- ( so close to my oldest's name- think I can convince Jan Lanoy that she needs an Alizabeth line? or maybe an Annalise line? hmmm- Kris sounds like it should be full of teals, lime greens and oranges! LOL!)

This layout has my youngest with her sweet sweet cousin! I used tons of Alissa stuff on here, including stickers, borders from Alpha combo and journal cutouts as well.

And lastly, I have an enormous sweeth tooth! Do you?

I would love to feed your sweet tooth with some awesome blog candy!!

I am celebrating- 15,000 hits on my blog!!! woohooo!! I never thought that I would even come this close to having so many of you visit me. I am still a few months from my one year blogiversary, and I am amazed to see the line of faces of those of you who have taken the time to become followers of this blog- I {heart} you all!!

Thank you for coming, every day, once a week, even once in a while, to drop in and see what I've been up to! My special thanks go to everyone who has left me comments and compliments on my work.

So to win this candy- what do you need to do?

just leave me a comment somewhere on my blog before June 1! please USA residents only- international ship is too pricey for me ( if you are international and would like to leave me a comment, just let me know so I don't enter you)
