BLOG CANDY to celebrate my BD

Blog Birthday

Hello Friends, How are you today?? Summer is just flying and before July ends I want to mention that I have been blogging for 2 years this month and I have YOU to thank!! Thank you for visiting on a regular basis & thank you for lending your ear, perhaps leaving a comment or just peaking in. I want you to know that I appreciate you and I am so grateful for you all!! It’s so wonderful to have this forum to share with you. My friends and family can’t really understand what it all means so it’s great that you do. To celebrate I gathered some of my favorite stamping supplies to give away (better known as “blog candy”). Here are some of the goodies.


The card is included too.
Happy Birthday to me :)
I used the cupcake from this stamp. I doodled the design on her dress with this Copic marker. I have had this glitter for awhile and I think it’s more irridesent than what’s available now. (It’s called Sugar Coating.)  For the cherry on top of the cupcake I added red glitter and then added a large glop of Glossy Accents. Thank you again for helping to make my blogging experience so wonderful. Have a happy day. Hugs, Kathy

If you would like a chance to win this blog candy what you need to do to leave you name on the Inlinkz list. I would really appreciate it if you could post TO  YOUR blog sidebar linking it back to my blog OR mention about this giveaway on your Facebook or twitter or Flickr.

    Hi Kathy,

    I am a big Penny Black fan, so have been admiring your work quite sometime but I have only just discovered your lovely blog a few weeks ago, congrats on 2 years, and may there be many more 🙂 I like the way you show us all the goodies you use, it has given me the confidence to try some new things…I am enamoured of glossy accents at the moment(thanks to you!) and wanting to try enamel accents next. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy, I have added to my sidebar
