I have a BLOG Candy winner! #55 was Val (mom2men) and just send me an email @ paulatracy66@aol.com and I will get ya hooked up with those sweet owls...CONGRATS!
WOW!! You made it!
I am the lucky girl who gets to give away the "blog candy" during the release party tomorrow night! {{wednesday @ 9 pm eastern in the MFT forum on SCS}} I'm pretty excited and have never held such an honor! So, spill it all and leave me a comment, make me smile, make me laugh...have you seen anything that tickles your fancy? Wait...I may be getting ahead of myself and you're wondering what you popped in on. Just in the slight chance that you didn't realize what was going on here...it's My Favorite Things Blog Hop and we are showing off ** 4 new** sets today!!
{Who's That Girl} Girls Day In ---Snuggle Bunnies { MFT Presents Stephanie Fizer} ---Birthday Flopsey ---Owls and Bluebells {MFT Presents Stepahnie Fizer}
All this fun was started on Kim -- The MFT Lady's blog. Then after a trip through the inspiration highway...you should have ended right here, by way of Susan's blog. I know she WOW'd you, along with all the other talent here. I wish I could give ya'll a nice little footrub. You have crossed the whole US and been 'Down Under'...you don't even look tired! lol
Now, you're mine and I wanna show you two sweet little owls and a branch of bluebells. This is MFT's owls and bluebells set by Stephanie Fizer. I love the owls' shapes and I love coloring them in different colors than what nature usually makes them. I colored mine to match the MFT summer pack 6x6 papers. I used my prismacolor pencils and gamsol, glitter, nesties and of course...sewing! I added the fine lines to the owls' faces, wanting them to have a plaid kinda look. A ultra fine .005 marker is the perfect tool for that, and a light touch... lol
This Owl and Bluebells set is up for grabs with a comment on my post here. I hope you've loved looking at it as much as I have! but.... before you head off let me leave you with a super generous offer from Kim. To all Mom's & Future Mom's. If you place and order weds. night {after 10pm eastern, when the sets go on sale} through friday, and your order totals over $100.00, you will recieve any stamp set that contains a flower for FREE! Any set with a flower is available and you should list two sets in the comment section when you check out, just in case a set is sold out. If no two options are jotted down then you will recieve the Build a Bouquet set. All just for being a MOM, and it won't go to your thighs!!
Enjoy your day!!
Oh I always love your coloring, so so pretty. Hugs Cindy xxoo
