Here's the thing, in order to have a chance to win, you are going to have to post a comment on the Poppystamps Blog Page.  How hard is that? Not hard at all right?  A comment on my page is ALWAYS welcome and I ALWAYS enjoy hearing from everyone, however, you MUST post a comment on the Poppystamps Blog Page if you want to have a chance to win....so, HERE is the link. Twice a day girls will be showing off the new dies and stamps (yes I said stamps!) So comment often to increase your chances to win!  For the rules, check out the Poppystamps Blog.

As always, if you want to see how I made this card and have a look at the inside, head over to the Poppystamps Blog Page, which is where I'm heading right now....

A Happy Birth Day!

Good morning.....It's my day to post on the Poppystamps Blog page, I'm showing you the inside of my card.  If you want to see the outside check it out on the Poppystamps Blog Page.  Today there is something special happening, actually it's been happening since Monday....it's a BLOG BLITZ! Every day, twice actually, you have a chance to win a die.  I'm not going to tell you or show you the die I'm offering, you'll have to check it out on the PoppyStamps Blog Page!

This card was easy, easy and could be made in any three color combinations, and a great way to use scraps, it was totally made from scraps.  I love the front of this card and the Poppystamps dies from the newest release are perfect and I know I'll be using them often!

Before I close....I want to thank everyone for the emails I've been receiving.  It's nice to know I am
missed.  I must admit I've been a bit absent.  A bit of a shoulder issue and the doctor says I maybe should take it easy for a bit.  Actually he said I should craft without looking down.  Hmmmm, he obviously has never been a crafter!  So, I shall not be present often for the next few months.  I do have a few cards that I'm working on, and I'll post them when they are finished.  Shhhh, don't tell my doctor!

Until next time.....Happy crafting, Hugs from my world to yours,
Mary Mac

It's A Banner Birthday and a Blog Blitz

Before I get too excited, I want to tell you about the Blog Blitz going on over at Poppystamps.  I hope you check it out as there are PRIZES.  And today I got to pick one to give away.  I picked the Happy Birthday Banner Flags and I've got to tell you......I love it.

If you want to see more you are just going to have to head over to the Poppystamps Blog Page.  To enter you need to leave a comment on that page.  So when you're there, don't forget to comment.

I really enjoyed making this card and the new Poppystamps dies were really fun to work with.  The balloons are the sweetest ones I've seen.  The Hearts and Stars Wrap will have tons of uses.  This first release of 2015 has so many great dies.  I had a hard time deciding which ones I had to have.....I'm glad I chose these.

Until next time,
Hugs from my world to yours,
Mary Mac

November Card Class and Blog Blitz

I know November is the month that kicks of the best Holiday Season of the year, that said, I decided to take a little break from holiday cards and create a card for my November class using the new Fancy Hello by Poppystamps.  FYI, there is a blog blitz going on over on the Poppystamps Blog page.  Check it out....there are lots of prizes and all you need to do is comment. 

Don't worry, I've also created a quick and easy Holiday card.....

Can you believe how quickly the year is flying by?  I know we are all in hyper-drive right now, that's why I wanted to offer another card that can be quickly cut and easily assembled.  If you are interested, give Karen a call 530-895-0505.  Class begins at 1:00 PM on Nov. 12th.  If you want to see both cards, they are on display at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique. 

Off I go....I'm addressing Christmas cards today....I started making my cards in January of this year.  I've made 103 to date....that's like a record for this ole gal!  I'm debating on whether to write a Christmas letter.....are you Christmas letter writers?  Like them?  Hate them?   Hmmmmm!

Not A Christmas Card! What's With That?

Can you believe it?  I've actually created something that is not a Christmas card.  I was playing with my Monday group and I had no idea what I would make, so I grabbed a plastic carrier filled with this and that and this is what I made.  Every piece of this card was made with bits and bobs left over from an album project of a year ago.  So, Di, you will be getting a visit...finally.  I hope all the playmates have been behaving on the playground.  From the sounds of things, the weather has been too hot and muggy to do much running around.  Here too, summer has been more hot than I prefer. 

The paper I used  is Graphic 45, the dies are Poppystamps and Die-Namics.  The lace is a piece of gold paper doily, which was gifted to me years ago by a neighbor.  Her sister-in-law is the woman for whom I created this card.  The Sentiment I made a long time ago and I was pleased that I could use it.  I love how the bird on the paper seems to be reading the sentiment.  Happy accident for sure. 

This card was created for my friend Thelma.  She's a dear woman that has every card I've sent her displayed on the window ledge of her retirement home.  Don't you love it when the recipient loves your creations...I know I am always pleased that a creation can bring a bit of sunshine to a friend.

I feel that I've been absent from linking with my favorite gals....I'm going to try to play catch up this week.  This card will be linked to  Pixie's Crafty Workshop

Speaking of catch up....I honestly have been creating, but, most of what I've made won't be shown until later.  I'm sure you know that Poppystamps has just released new and absolutely gorgeous dies.  I've been working away to get a few cards made during their blog blitz.  BTW, there are prizes, so you might just want to leave a comment and you could be a winner!  Anyway, check it out.... Here! 

Ok, I have a butterfly card that needs creating....so off I shall go to see what my little mind can create. 

Sending wishes for a most wonderful week of creating. 
Hugs from me to you,

It's a Poppystamps kind of day!

I'm always excited to receive dies in the mail, but I was super excited waiting for my new PoppyStamps dies.....why?  Well, let's see because they are the most beautiful Christmas dies I have EVER seen....really!  I had trouble deciding which die I would use first....so I used  5.  You are seeing 3....Well, 2 and one is hidden but very visible.... if you want to see the inside of this card, and I hope you do, because one of the dies on the inside of this card is going to be awarded to one lucky person.  Do I have your  attention?  I hope so!  I also give a little info on how this card was made. 

Here's what you need to do.  Skip on over to the Poppystamps Blog Page and look for my card.  Then leave a comment.  That's it!  Easy no?  Easy yes!  One lucky person will win! Actually there are 28 chances to win.  All of the girls on the design team are working away to make beautiful cards from the new Poppystamps dies.  So check and see what they are making, leave a comment and you could have another chance to win. 

The Poppystamps Blog Blitz began on July 1st and the last day is July 15th.  Winners will be announced on July 20th and I'd love to see your name as a winner, but you can't win if you don't play.  Trust me, if you love Christmas, Halloween, Fall and Summer you are going to love, love, love the new release....

July Card Class

It took awhile, but I finally decided on what cards to make for my Christmas in July card class.  I really fussed over this card.  It started as blue and red....but it was pretty dark.  I'll bring the original to class.  Today I finished this version and I like it.  I hope you do too. 

And here is the second card...

A technique or two and you'll have two more Christmas cards to add to your 2014 collection.  When:  July 9th. at 1:00 PM.  Where:  Paradise Scrapbook Boutique.  Be sure to call Karen and let her know you'll be attending. 

A few months back, I challenged my girls to go home and design a card.  I jokingly said, your homework is.....well, Cindy took me up on my challenge and this is the BEAUTIFUL card she made..

Thank you Cindy for the kind words enclosed and thank you too for taking the time to create this beauty.....Cindy said, sorry it's taken so long, but honest I did do my homework on time.  Cindy will not have to serve detention.....she became a Grammy and a bit sooner than she'd planned.  Seems her granddaughter was in a rush to meet her!  Congrats Cindy, being a grandma is the best!

That's it for me....tomorrow will be my turn to post using the new Poppystamps dies.  Trust me, the dies are gorgeous!  Lots of Christmas, Halloween, Fall, and some Summer too.  I hope you check in tomorrow.  My blog will go live at noon on the  Poppystamps Blog.

See you Soon!

Pretty In Pink
