just a little blogaversary - and a blogaversary challenge!

Hooray! It's my Fourth Blogaversary!
Happy Blogaversary ..... little blog.....

In every single way, I know that I am so so blessed to have my loyal readers, who leave such encouraging comments. I'm overjoyed that my hobby has turned into my job! Even more, the girls I've met through this stamping have become my closest of friends. Really, what more could a girl ask for?

In order to celebrate, I thought I'd kick off one of my ...just a little challenges... and one lucky participant is going to win a $35 gift certificate to My Favorite Things. All I can say is that I'm already working on samples for the April release, and once again girls, it is FAB-U-LOUS!

Here's *my* sample for my little challenge and if you scroll down you'll see what you can use to qualify for the prize!



I've used the a la modes: Miss You a Latte stamp, as well as the Say What Die-namic and coordinating stamp set, I've added the Little Open Scallop Strip across the bottom, and I just love adding a bit of stitched detail across the top rail of that die. Patterned papers are from Sasafrass - I *love* the color combination.

So, who's ready to play along and help celebrate? Same as last year, I'm going to give you a list of elements to work with, and you can choose any three to prepare your sample......

  • Kraft Paper - yes, I'm still obsessed with it....
  • Pink, Ivory and Orange as your color combination - I'm needing a little springy fix....
  • Twine - I do *love* me some twine!
  • Mixed Stitching - I've got straight, zig zag and "crazy" stitching on mine
  • Ledger, Alpha or number paper - I've got this fun number grid.....

Remember, any THREE from the list qualifies. You can submit as many as you'd like, but they have to all be NEW projects - please don't link up prior creations that just happen to fit the challenge ;-) Submit your entries by Saturday, March 19th at noon est for your chance to win. One winner will be selected at random to win a $35 gift certificate to My Favorite Things!

Just add your project to the Mr Linky Below - please direct link your post - versus linking to the front page of your blog. Any questions? Just email me at stampedbyhand (at) comcsast (dot) net - spelled out here so the "spam-bots" don't get me!
