Happy Birthday Blog!! Yay! Blog Candy Challenge Day 5!!
Happy Birthday to my blog!!! Today is the last day of my blog candy challenge! You have until 12:00 midnight to submit any of the 5 challenges I've posted for this blog site and Card Inspired.
I added not one but two more prizes to the prize bucket. I added the Stampin Up Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon! It's 15 yards long so you'll have a lot of ribbon to play with! Whoohoo! The other prize I added is another clear stamp set by Hampton Arts "Art Warehouse Designs". The set is a tropical theme! Very cute. Okay to sum up all the prizes:
- 1 stack of K&CO 12 x 12 double sided designer paper - 36 total (the designs are so pretty)
- 1 Colorbox Petal Paint Pigment Ink pad great for regular stamping as well as heat embossing different colors (very versatile ink pad - love it)
- 2 clear stamp sets by Hampton Arts. (very pretty designs - I bought each of them for myself too)
- 1 package of 8 x 11.5" Stampin Up cardstock - last year's "In Colors". (very rare because it's retired - remember cool caribbean, cranberry crisp, true thyme? Love them)
- 1 Stampin Up Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon - 15 yards (lots of ribbon to decorate your card and projects)
If you haven't participated in any of the challenges. . .it's your last chance. You have at least 12 opportunities to submit your name. Scroll down for the 5 different challenges for this site and stop by Stampin Inspirations for that sites challenges.

1.I need to get back to scrapping, so my goal there is to make at least one day a week a scrapping day, I have too many books to make & have been slacking off of late.
2. Learn, learn, & learn some more techniques.
3. Make more cards so that I can have a stash for whenever I or my kids need a card.
Thank you so much Maria for this fabulous fun challenge, you rock with all your fantastic ideas! This idea was the best, not only for us but for you too, you got to know a little more about us, your readers. My hat goes off to you girl!
Another good challenge! Thanks so much for offering this amazing blog candy - it's fun doing these challenges!
My three goals for 2008 are:
- work more on scrapbooking
- find a new blog to visit each month (in addition to my "regulars")
- participate in more sketch challenges
My Challenges are:
1.To use my time for wisely
2.Try new techniques
3. This one will sound weird but I need to stop thinking all my work is bad. I make something and then tear it apart. I never think Im good enough. I need to be less critical when it comes to my card making.
WOW you are going to make 1 stamper very happy win they see there name in the winning circle....and I hope it's ME ME ME!
Ok my 3 goals for 2008:
1) Try more altered items.
2) Get involved in the challenges out here blogland.
3) Try more techniques.
Thanks so much for such a fun time at the PARTY! You're the BEST!
My goals
1- begin scrap all the pictures I sent to print more than 100.
2- organize myself better I have a tendency to begin 5 things at the same time and I do not finish them.
3- Be more direct on the style I want to do , I know what I like but sometimes is hard to express that.
Congratulations on your blog.
I have had great fun with your blog candy challenges!
Hmmm....Well a year ago I bought lunch tins and have yet to alter them! That's first on the list! I also have little tins to alter and some pebble things to make magnets with. I always LOVE everyone's projects but never seem to do anything but cards!!
WOW! 1st of all that's some blog candy you're offering up so thanks for that. 2nd...here are my goals.
a) get better organized
b) use all of my stamps, whatever I don't use sell or PIF
c) improve in my craft (by using techniques and challenges)
Congrats on your one year anniversary!!! You are giving away some huge candy!!!
I think I got all the challenges...sure hope so anyway! lol
My three goals should be:
1. To get more into scrapbooking, I've got way too many pictures in boxes...ugh!
2. Alter those boxes, tins, and so on that I have been hoarding on my shelves in the basement!
3. To actually USE every stamp that I buy this year and not just buy them because...I need to have a purpose for buying and using!
Great challenge.....
1. to have a go at scrapbbooking...
2. To give my blog a kick start...i started but im stuck in as i know what i mean to put in but it never works out that way .
3. Find time to make more cards for charities.
Happy Birthday Blog!
I love these contests! I never win, but I have fun trying!
1. I have been a scrapper for 8 years but jsut recently starting card making/paper crafting. SO, I need to try different things/techniques. The company I represent has great products, but I like trying to find a new way to use them.
2. Make more cards to have a stock pile. I hate it when my DH pays $5 for a store bought card!
3.Perhaps start a blog of my own. I think most people who are crafters or card makers use blogs. I haven't seen too many on scrapbooking...or perhaps I haven't looked in the right place.
Hmmmm...a New Year's resolution for crafting....
1. Inventory and index my collection of stamp sets...how did it get so totally out of hand?
2. Discover new techniques, especially those using DP.
3. Find a way to share my cards, in addition to swapping at stamp club.
Ok here goes.
1. Make more time for card making
2. If I manage 1. then I will start a second blog just for crafting as right now I mix my craft stuff with a daily family blog.
3. Get rid of stamp sets I don't use - I am such a hoarder.
Hugs

3 goals for my crafting and blogging :
1) Keep posting often
2) Use the stuff I don't use a lot
3) Learn to use my brayer
I may be able to do all that!
I goals should be:
1. make duplicate cards so I can actually send one out...
2. use all of my stamps...
3. stop buying so many new stamps...
:o)
1. Use my stash.
2. Accumulate some cards for donation.
3. Organize my card output thematically by some scheme (stamp set, DP?).
I figure this will last up till Jan 2nd...ha!
1-clean up the craft area and weed out the crap.
2-get a better lens for the camera and finish building the photo shoot box
3-finish scanning the negatives (50 years worth)
1. Learn more techniques. I seem to use only a few, all the time.
2. Use all the papers and stamps that I buy instead of hoarding!!! I stamp alot but the papers must be multiplying!
3. have more workshops so that I can teach all my friends all the new techniques I'll be learning
Yeah, use what I HAVE is definitely a goal for me this next year.
also, try to go a whole month without buying anything scrap or craft related. That should get my creative juices flowing.
Thanks.
Misty
My goals would be:

My paper crafting goals for 2008 are as follows:
1. I need to get back to my scrapbooks. I used to be just a year behind. Now I'm many years behind. I need to put some simple pages together and get caught up.
2. I'm going to try to get something that I make in a magazine! There, I said it. I'm going to try to be published!
3. I am going to get things done on time. I'm going to have my February cards made in January, I'm going to have my Christmas cards done in November . . . no more waiting until the last minute!
Geez, now if I only stick to these goals!!
