About Time for some Blog Candy, hmm?


All done! Thanks to everyone for playing along. To see who won, please go to this post.

I've been wanting to say Thank You by givin' away some blog candy for ages, so here it is... :0)

I'd love for you to do this one thing to enter: Please leave a comment on this post, in which you share a link to your very favourite template and/or tutorial (made by anyone...)--it can be a technique or a card style or a 3D item...anything you'd love to share. Don't worry about if the link will fit in the comment thingy; I'll compile a link list & post it on here for everyone to use.

Blog candy #one has this schtuff in it:
  • A Linen post album 6x6 brag book (in Mellow Moss)...
  • The Simply Scrappin' Sticker selection from the Loonies for Littles promotion (which was available in Canada)...
  • Hostess Stamp Set "Make it Count"...
  • Some incentive stamps (available to demos)...
  • 1 of each of the new hodgepodge hardware & brads...
  • A bunch of other metal schtuff...
  • 3 containers of beads: pearly neutral mix from SU (retired), metal seed beads & white shimmery seed beads...
  • 3 containers of metal ephemera: Steel microbeads, Butterflies & Hodge podge clips...
  • 40 eyelets (to match the Simply Scrappin' Stickers) and....
  • A Sakura glitter pen (clear silvery)
It isn't in my budget to send something of this weight outside of North America right now sorry, BUT you can still enter for...

wee Blog Candy #two:
A surprise selection of some cards I've made. :0)

Thanks for playing! I'll be waiting at least a month to figure out that random-selecty-thinger & draw the winner, so please leave your email in your comment (If you like, you can write it like this to help foil those spammers: melmc AT telus DOT net.) :0)



All done! Thanks to everyone for playing along. To see who won, please go to this post.

  17. Hi, Mel, I love your blog--you provide such awesome inspiration! I'd like to agree with Barb about Kristina Werner Design, but felt I should also mention a fresh one. Wasn't sure how to make the link, since it's a pdf download pattern, but check out the Paper Globes pattern on Heather Bailey's blog:

    http://heatherbailey.typepad.com

    The patterns are in the right-hand column about midway down. She uses such vibrant color combinations that her blog and designs really catch my eye. These paper globes make great topiaries, pomander-type hangings, and I've even made them with SU designer papers to rest in a glass bowl as a centerpiece.

  71. WOW this is some crazy huge lot of blog candy!

    I would have to say that you are the blog I visit almost daily (brownie points??) but just recently I've discovered Michelle Zindorf. Many others have found her too because she has an astronomical number of views of SCS. I think my favourite tutorial is called Ocean Ruins. The card is gorgeous maybe because she uses my favourite colour purely pomegranate. She also gives loads of details so that I think I will actually attempt it myself.
    Thanks for sharing!
