blog candy you gotta work for ....

Its been a whole week since I posted and since I've been gone, I decided to offer some blog candy to my loyal readers who stuck around and checked back in with me :) But I am going to make you work for it this time. First, the blog candy is an array of tags, brads, clear stamps, rub-ons and I am also going to include some bella images (not shown) and maybe some ribbon, too! The final package will be a surprise to the winner, but this will give you a taste! I will choose the winner on Friday, August 15th, 2008.

Now, here is the catch -- you have a make a card, scrapbook page or any other paper related project and use this fabulous clinque case as your inspiration. I was putting on lipstick yesterday (which I rarely do) and the fun colors on this case jumped out at me. I will post my own creation later today. So, leave me a comment here with a link to your card/project and I will pick a winner. Sorry my pics are a little blurry but I think you will still get the jist of the color combo. You could use the colors or the stripes as your inspiration!

Then, I also thought it would be fun to post some pictures of birthday cards that I received from friends and family! I loved them all -- thank you!! Hope they give your creativity a boost, too!

Oh, and of course, the SU! Fall/Winter Idea Book & Catalog is LIVE TODAY @ NOON! YEA! We have still not gotten our shipment -- cross your fingers for today!! But I will post the link to the catalog here. Christy doesn't love it (yet) but I really, really do :) Can't wait to hear what you all think.

Happy creating!
