Pagoda Anniversary Card and some blog candy

The winners will be drawn by random.org on Wednesday 17th February at 9am UK time

Here's my card today over on Holidays with the Cricut - lots of 'how to do it' photos over there, and as before, all you have to do is leave a comment to be in with a chance of winning a serenade or sentimentals cartridge

To celebrate my week over there, I am giving away some blog candy, stuff I have used for the cards and projects that aren't available in the USA/Canada. But first, I must give something to my UK buddies, so I have a spare Martha Stewart heart punch, I bought it home with me from the USA, forgetting I already have one. Plus a brand new unmounted stamp set from Stampin Up called Ladybug Picnic. I'll pop in a few of the jewelled flower picks as well. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post, and link it on your blog if you have one.
Don't forget to put UK by your name......

For my USA/Canadian friends, (if you live elsewhere in the world, just say which candy you would like to win) here's a package of some of the craft goodies from the UK. You will get

10 sheets of the silver pattern vellum I used today

2 packs of papermania embossed cards and envelopes

A roll of the raffia ribbon by Paper Cellar (on one of todays cards)

6 scallop cards and envelopes (the square ones, see card three below)

3 sheets of craftwork card sentiment buttons (see card three below)

some of the gold and silver jewelled flower picks I used today

A pack of clear rubber stamps by Papermania - Birthday Boy

Papermania tiny spotty buttons in shades of yellow (perfect for Easter Cards)

a sheet of Anita 'handmade by' gold stickers to put on your cards

A pack of Papermania papers in the colours of the buttons (as used on the sunflower card below)

(half of this stuff isn't in the photo, you will have to imagine it as I am camera-less)

here's the second card, using the same design layout


and a third one................




and here's one I made with one of the 'buttons' from the Paisley cartridge. I was puzzled as to the purpose of this feature, as only a couple of the cuts seem to be buttons, but now I have had a good look around, it's just another word for icon, and there are some fabulous cuts on there. I thought this flower looked like a sunflower, and cut it BIG at 4". The card is 8" x 4", and the papers are by Papermania.




dotted s0me gems around.....................








the sentiment is Hero Arts, stamped with memento rust ink. The ribbon is a brown felt I picked up from the dollar bin in Michaels





So there you go - leave your name to enter for the blog candy. I will keep this post at the top for a week, and draw the names next wednesday, noon UK time.
Don't forget to tell me which country you are from, and enough information for me to identify you if you win (your message board name, or email for instance)
Good luck
See you tomorrow x
