FB Page Giveaway!

Giveaway time on my FB page!
 
I am giving this card away to one lucky follower on my FB page when I reach 500 likes. I just have 85 to go. Stop over there and see how you can win!
 
 
This is a 5x5 square card on a white card base that is 110# weight cardstock. The design paper is from a Recollections 6x6 paper pad. The bear paper piecing is a file from My Scrap Chick. All the cardstock for the paper piecing is AC cardstock or Tim Holtz Coordination Cardstock. I use inks, chalks, and a gel pen to add dimension. The piecing is attached to the card using foam squares. I would be happy to add a sentiment to the front or inside of the card if the winner of the card should request and I have a stamp that that person would like.
 
Blessings,

Happy Hello Penguin!

I grew up with three brothers and that was awesome. They were really good to me and always took care of me. But I have to say that when I came to know Christ something happened that changed my life forever. I gained a whole bunch of sisters. And as any of you with sisters know, there is nothing like having a sister! I made this card for one of my sisters. She is very dear to me and I enjoy the time we are able to spend together. I made this as a Thank You for her for the time we spent out together this last Friday night having dinner and quiet time from family and the burdens of life. This sister is a treasured jewel and I am so lucky to have her.
 
 
This little guy is from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. He was a freebie a few weeks back called Penguin on Ice. I think he is absolutely adorable and I was glad to see the smile on my sister's face when I gave him to her this morning during worship.
 
 
Thank you, Tricia, at LSHD for all the Monday freebies. They are truly appreciated and thank you for allowing me to enter him into yesterday's game to win another free file!!!
 
The card is a standard A2 size and the background paper which is quite lovely in person but a bit difficult to photograph is from Bo Bunny's Snowfall collection called Snowfall Drift. The stamp is from Verve Stamps Happy Hello collection.

Thank you for dropping in today. You can find the links to my Facebook and Pinterest pages on the top right if you'd like to follow me there as well.

My Love!

My hubby was sadly away for Valentine's Day, but has since returned home. We have been married 12 years and I love him more every day! He is the pillar of our family. I truly appreciate all he does for me and our precious kiddos.
 
Using the Dancing Couple Bears from My Scrap Chick, I made him this card.
 
I am willingly dancing my life away with this man!
 
 
Don't you just want to shout for joy when a background paper says just what you want and makes it easy to put a card together. Well that was just my luck with this card. I started with an A2 size card base. I added the background paper by Reminisce called My Love. I then attached my paper piecing right in the center of the card and that's all it took. The Valentine Bears cut files and digis from My Scrap Chick are just the cutest. And they can be used for so many different occasions besides Valentine's Day. The card I am showing today could be easily used as a Anniversary card, Congratulations for Engagements or Weddings, etc. Head on over there and check them out.
 
 
Thank you, as always, for visiting me today. I truly appreciate it!

Love You, Tiger!

The last card for my kiddos for Valentine's Day. This one is for my youngest son, my second born. He is into everything, so I decided to just go ahead and make one more of the Cute Valentine Animals from Miss Kate Cuttables.
 
This time it is the Tiger.
 
 
As with the other two cards, this one is also A2 size and the background paper is from Recollections Valentine 6x6 paper pad. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom.
 
 
 I enjoyed making all these projects this week using these cute animals. I hope you have enjoyed them. Thank you for stopping in again. I invite you to visit my Facebook and Pinterest pages as well. And with Easter coming, keep in mind that I do custom orders. I would be happy to help you with your Easter treats and cards. It's easiest to contact me through Facebook or my Etsy store.
