BLACK Day! Bonus Entry Opportunity!

Yes, today is BLACK day. It is after all HALLOWEEN. It's also the day before my hubby's birthday and I've just finished his card.
Well, to be honest I am scheduling this post because Kevin has the day off and we are going to get our SC drivers licences and tags for the cars. I'm probably out and about as you read this.
Here is my masculine card AKA Kevin's birthday card.

We love our place here in SC. We have a salt lick out back and buy BIG bags of corn for the deer. I have yet to actually set my eyes on one, but we know they're here by the tracks out back and the disappearing corn. I wish that I had a deer stamp, but I don't. I did buy DD Pines before it was retired and have a moose. I decided it was close enough.
And the black addition to the ever-growing Pot 'o Gold!
Included in the Black Goods:
~2 Basic Black pre-scored cards
~A Black Monday Metal Frame
~A Pkg of Karen Foster Self Adhesive Black Twill
~A bag of Black Buttons
~1 yd of Black Satin Ribbon
~20 lovely bird images stamped in Palette Black Noir Ink
~ An assortment of Black Diecuts

~BONUS OPPORTUNITY~

We have one more week to go! I hope you've answered all the daily questions as that is the easiest way to be entered for all of the loot. And remember you can get up to 2 additional entries for posting projects based on the sketches. Those who uploaded their projects before me this week also got an "Early Bird" entry. Those have been the ways to get your name in the hat for the BIG Pot O' Gold!
Since we have one more week to go, I'd like to offer you an additional opportunity to be entered. If you post on your blog to spread the word about "The 18 Rainbow Days of Angelosity" and link back to THIS post, I'll put your name in the hat another time. Don't forget to comment on THIS post linking me to your post so that I will know.
Don't have a blog? Email your stamping/scrapping friends and BCC me. That works too!

Here is a picture of the basket SO FAR.
There are still 6 more days of additions to go!

Don't you want to win that? OR maybe you have enough stamping supplies? I'll gladly send this package anywhere in the US, APO or Canada. You tell me where.
That's all from me today!
See you in the AM!

~Angel

Today's Getting to know YOU Question:
Besides being creative, do you have a hobby?
or do you collect something?

GREY Day! Another ODBD Sneak Peek!

I really wanted to use the new ODBD "The Lord is my Shepherd" set for my card today. The main image is a mama sheep with her baby lamb and was just too large for my sketch. Then I saw this card that fellow ST member, Lorelie made cutting out the baby lamb. Perfect for my focal point.

This card is going in the mail today to a dear friend who's facing challenges that only God knows the outcome of. He is our shepherd and the picture of him gathering her in His arms and protecting her is exactly what I hope she visualizes.

On to our Pot o' Gold addition!

The 7 items being added are:

~2 pre-scored cards in SU Going Grey and Basic Grey (I love Basic Grey!)
~A bag of Grey Buttons
~3 large dark grey velvet blooms
~1 yd of grey organdy

~a BUNCH of grey punched circles and scalloped circles in many sizes

~various grey 6x6 background papers

~8 Cuttlebugged panels in Going Grey (4) and Basic Grey (4)

I finally took a picture of the goodies so far and will share that with you tomorrow. I promise!
I hope you're having fun!
I am!
God Bless~
Angel

Card Recipe: Stamps~ ODBD Lord is my Shepherd; Ink~ Night of Navy, Memento Tuxedo Black; Paper~ Bashful Blue, Barely Banana, White, DCWV Posies Stack DP; Accessories~Offray Ribbon, Fancy Corners CB Folder, Paper Piercer, DD Glitter, Liquid Applique

Are you playing along or are you just lurking around? Come on, give it a shot and start playing the game. There's sure a lot of loot to be won! Here are the rules in case you've been under a rock somewhere. (wink)
Today's Challenge is a sketch. I am trying to make the sketches pretty simple so anybody can do them. And you don't have to make a card. Be creative!
I'll be back in a bit with my sample!
~Angel

Today's "Getting to Know you" Question:
Do you have a quirk? Or maybe a pet-peeve you'd like to share?

Winner!

We have a winner!
GREY is tomorrow's color and Karla guessed it right! She'll be getting the Making Memories Vintage Trinket Pins in her mailbox!
I'll see you all tomorrow!

White Day! And Bonus!

I am once again much later than I wanted to be with my sample for Today's Challenge! I had so many ideas going for these colors! Aren't they Christmassy? I decided to use a sketch found at Sheetload of Cards. They've got some great ideas there and they really make it simple for you giving dimensions and all kinds of ideas! I found this sketch by browsing the gallery of SCS member jlazarski. She has some fabulous cards! I couldn't decide between my Houndstooth and Argyle Cuttlebug folders so I decided to make 2 cards and use them both!(Card recipes at the end of the post.)

And today's color is WHITE so I have some White goodies to add to the basket!
~Four Pre-scored White Cards (SU Natural White, Whisper White, and Glossy White and PaperTrey White)
~An acrylic pot of White Flowers (a few shown)
~ One yd of White Grosgrain
~a Set of White envelopes tied with White Organdy
~A Bag of White Buttons

Thank you for visiting and playing along! It means the world to me!

Moss Green (such as Mellow Moss)
Chocolate Brown (such as Choc Chip)

Kraft Brown

Remember- this week you get an early bird entry if you post your project before me. That increases your chances of winning that pot o' gold!

~Angel
Today's "Getting to Know You" Question:
Speaking of color- If you will, CREATIVELY tell me your colors- Hair, Skin, Eyes
{i.e.- I have Beige Skin (Mary Kay Beige 400 to be exact),
Dark Brown Hair speckled with Going Grey and Chocolate Brown Eyes}

Coral Day! And an ODBD Sneak Peek!

I am SO late with my card. Sorry about being so late, but I got started cleaning and just couldn't stop until I was done. I'm that way about a lot of things.
It gave you a little bit more guessing time though, right? Nobody guessed the right color. Can you believe it? Deb was close with Apricot, but I was looking to hear Coral. I'll have another opportunity to win those pins tomorrow.
Here is my card using today's sketch. My card uses a fabulous new set from Our Daily Bread Designs. The set is called Joy to the World and will be available to purchase on November 1st! It's a beauty!
(See card recipe at the end of the post for more details.)

What do you think of Coral? Hey... it was hard to come up with 18 colors! And it was even harder to come up with 7 Coral items for my basket.
But here you go:

(Sorry for the blurry pic.)
~3 pre-scored Cameo Coral Cards
~1 small vial of Coral Crystals Glitter
~1 yd of Coral Grosgrain Ribbon
~1 bag of Coral Buttons
~Coral Thank You die-cuts (a few shown)
~A Kraft & Coral Paper "Wallet"

Be back soon with the promised photo!

Day 9

Good Morning and welcome to the halfway point of the 18 Rainbow Days of Angelosity! I'll be back later with a picture of all of the loot so far. It's quite a lot and we're only half way there!
Today I have a sketch for you. It's a square card, but you can make it into a traditional sized card or even use it for a scrapbook page if you like!
Remember, if you post your project before me you'll get an Early Bird bonus entry!
Also... nobody has guessed today's color correctly although it has gotten close. Since we're down to a couple of hours, I'll let you have a second guess if you've already guessed. (Go back to that post to guess again.)Comment Moderation was on and that kind of messed up things a little since you couldn't see all of the guesses so far. I've taken it off just for today.
Have a blessed day!
~Angel
Today's Question:
Continuing to get to know you better-
Tell me where you grew up and something unusual or unique about that town!

PINK Day! ( And a Bonus Drawing)

I have quite a bit to do today. That's why our project is a simple bookmark. I've got a sketch for you at least every other day, but on the even days we'll probably do something a little different. What do you think so far?
Back when the boys were seniors, I made bookmarks for them with my Tassel Time set. Katie reminded me of that and pointed out her school colors as well. I pulled out Tassel Time today and set about to recreate the bookmark. Nothing too difficult, but here it is:

It's a magnetic bookmark...my favorite kind. There are magnets on either side of the inside of this bookmark so you just need to slip it over a couple of pages to mark your spot. The magnets hold it in place.

Recipe at the end of today's post!

Today is pink day. I just love pink. It used to be my favorite color and then came Soft Sky and I am so hooked on that color. I changed the background color on my blog just for today since pink wouldn't show up very well on pink.
I didn't have much of a problem gathering 7 Pink things to put in the Pot O' Gold!

Your Pink addition includes:

~9 Pre-scored cards in shades of pink- SU Positively Pink, Pixie Pink, Blush Blossom, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Rose Romance and Pink Passion and PTI Sweet Blush and Berry Sorbet.
~A small vial of Pink Flock
~A bag of pink buttons
~1 yd of Pink Ribbon and a length of white/pink Stitched trim
~A Fiskars Pink Paper Trimmer w/ Bonus Pink Ribbon Pin
~~CK Decorative Printed Tape (pink, red and white)
~A little pink purse with many pink Ovals and Scalloped Ovals inside (a few shown)
{This little purse is the perfect size to hold a set of cards by the way!}
Isn't Pink so pretty?

***Now, how about a bonus drawing?
These cute little Trinket Pins are SO fun.

The first person to guess tomorrow's pre-determined "Color of the Day" will get these pins in their mailbox! (Mailed on Friday.)
I'll announce the winner with the Color- tomorrow somewhere around noon! (remember the first person to answer correctly wins so try to think of a different color than the previous person. This should be interesting!)
Have a blessed day!
~Angel

Stamps: Tassle Time; Ink: Eggplant and Palette Black; Paper: Black, Silver (OLD SU), Eggplant; Accessories: Blender Pen, Fiskars Cap Punch, Recycled Magnets

Day 8

I don't know about you, but I feel like I got a lot accomplished this weekend. Unfortunately the accomplishment was in my stamp room and came at the expense of the rest of my house. Now I'll have to play catch up on my chores and cleaning!

There is still a little more time for weekend entries to be posted for the RAK. I've got several more RAKs to give away this week, so I hope you'll stick around for another full week of Rainbow Days. Of course, we're running out of pretty colors, but there are still lots of colors!
This week, I've decided to add another way to be entered. As you know, I try to post my challenge first thing in the morning and then my project and prize photos by noon. For those of you on the ball...if you post your project(s) for the day's challenge before I post mine you'll get an extra entry for the pot o' gold. Sound good?
Today's challenge is a BOOKMARK.
Make a bookmark for yourself or for a friend. No color or size restrictions. Katie keeps reminding me I promised to make her a bookmark so I am determined to do it today.
That's all from me!
Please refer this post for official rules.

BLUE Day & Bonus Drawing #6

This scrap challenge had me sorting through my DP scraps this morning and that is a very good thing. I pulled out all of the dark red and mossy green scraps and punched a bunch of different sized circles. Perfect for a Christmas card, so I stamped the Jesus is the Reason for the Season sentiment from the same named ODBD set and cut it out with my oval cutter. I made 2 Christmas cards, but there is definitely enough circles left for a couple more. Two easy Christmas cards for you to add to your stash. I gathered up the supplies and would love to send them to you. Sounds like another BONUS drawing to me!
I'm hoping many of you will want to play along with the challenges this weekend. Remember you can make 2 projects of any challenge. With that in mind, the person who completes the most entries this weekend will be sent this RAK. You have until Monday morning at 9:00 am EST.

It's Blue day and I've got a lot of cool blue stuff to share.
~1 pre-scored card of 10 shades of Blue- Bordering Blue, Brocade Blue, Bliss Blue, Buckaroo Blue, Blue Bayou, Night of Navy, Not Quite Navy, Ballet Blue, Brilliant Blue and my favorite Soft Sky

~20 Different 12x12 Sheets of Blue patterned background papers
~A Bag of Blue Buttons

~Blue Ribbons by Express Yourself DIY
~Blue Embroidery Floss (perfect for threading through button holes!)
~A Blue Organdy Bag full of Blue Tags!
~A small vial of Periwinkle Blue Glitter
This basket is starting to fill and we have 12 days left. OH MY!
That's all for me today!
Have a blessed weekend!

Day 6

It's Day 6 of the Rainbow Days of Angelosity! I nearly took the weekends off when I was planning the Blogabration. I like to save those days for spending family time since everyone is home. Instead, I'm going to make this short and sweet.
Today's Challenge is to use your scraps!
Again, you don't have to make a card. You possibilities are endless, just make sure you use up those scraps of cardstock or designer paper!
Please refer to earlier posts for all the rules!
See you soon!
~Angel

Question of the Day:
What are YOUR weekend plans?

Scalloped Circles Winner

Out of less than 10 entries I drew a name.

Melissa S. is the winner of the Scalloped Ovals.

Congratulations, Melissa! These are on their way today!

I hope more people will try out the challenges this weekend.

Blessings~

Turquoise & Teal Day (AND Another Bonus Prize!)

Are you having as much fun as me?
Even though it's a lot of work and lots of emails to sort through, I love hosting my Days of Angelosity!
Today is Turquoise and Teal Day. I've got goodies to add to that basket, but first..my card.

I absolutely love this sketch today. I received a card in the mail from a friend of mine that used this sketch. That card is displayed in my stamp room because I liked it so much.
Today I used the ODBD set "Flourished Christian Symbols". It's a great go-to set, especially if you serve in the ministry! Check it out!

My card uses the cross in the set. I made it super sparkly with some Heat and Stick powder and Coral Crystal Glitter. The scalloped circle is punched from DP that is glittered as well. This card just sparkles!

Now for the goods! Included in your addition to the Pot of Gold:

~Eight Pre-scored cards in shades of teal and turquoise:
2 Taken with Teal, 2 Tempting Turquoise, 2 Cool Caribbean, 2 Aqua Mist (PaperTrey)
~Turquoise Jewel Accents by Darice (Other colors are included!)
~A small vial of 'Mermaid Tears' Zoomz (acrylic embellishments)
~A bag of Turquoise Buttons
~A Key chain Photo Book in Turquoise Plaid
~One yard of Turquoise Flowered Ric Rac and a length of Turquoise velvet trim
and
~An acrylic box FULL of assorted shapes and sizes of butterflies in turquoise and teal.... hundreds of butterflies (a few shown)

I was a little punch happy when I was making my card this morning. I went through my scrap box and punched a lot of Scalloped Ovals before I decided on the right one to use on my card. In fact I punched 40!
Remember when I said that participants get some extra chances? Here is the 1st drawing of JUST the challenge participants. What will you get.... well, all of those scalloped ovals of course! I am going to give you a little extra time before I draw a winner. I leave for the post office at 3:00 today. So, I'm drawing a winner at 2:30 in hopes I can have an address and get these ovals sent today! Go back and complete any or all of the 5 challenges posted so far to get your name in the hat. If you already have played, your name is already there!

If you're just now arriving at my blog and wondering what's going on.. well, we're having a birthday party. We're counting down the days until my birthday on November 7. This year I'm offering a pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow and inviting all of my friends to play! (That's you!)
So, come on over and let's party!
~Angel
See you at 2:30!

Someone guessed 32. I did have 32 Cuttlebugged papers! But that was 2 of each shade.
My winner is Sharon in NE who was only the second to guess, but guessed it ON THE MONEY!

QUESTION OF THE DAY:
We're changing seasons here. Winter is coming!
So, tell me what is your favorite season of the year and why?

Green Day!

By the way, if you aren't a very GREEN person but wish you were tell me something you COULD do in that last daily question. I mainly asked it because
It's GREEN Day!
Are you following the RAINBOW to the treasure at the end?
I hope so!
It's never too late to go back and make up for lost time, but if you play along, you'll definitely increase your chances!
First things first.
My Christmas Challenge was mainly because I had a half finished Christmas card laying on my desk begging to be finished. I completed the card which I started out using Beate's Weekend Sketch WSC62. I used one of my favorite Christmas ODBD sets "We Three Kings".
If you haven't seen cards with this set around Blogland, check out these beauties!
Dina

Becca
Judy
Nancy
You want that set now, huh?
Here is my card.

Pretty easy to do and the copper and Artichoke look so handsome together. I think I may use this masculine combination again some day!

Now for your GREEN goodies! Do you have any idea how many shades of green cardstock I have? Hmm... this sounds like a good BONUS question! I know, I know, I can't stop giving things away. Since I am making a trip to the post office tomorrow, I might as well send one more envelope! Give me your best guess on how many shades of green cardstock I own and you'll get your own little mini GREEN RAK! It will look like a smaller version of THIS:

Included in today's addition to the "Pot O' Gold"
(get it.... pot of gold at the END of the RAINBOW? Ha! I kill me.)
~One prescored card of every shade of green I own! More than a few!
~Two Cuttlebugged cardstock quarters of every shade of green I own- and each is different so I have more Cuttlebug folders than I do shades of green x2
(a confusing clue!)
~ One Dozen green skeleton leaves
~ A small vial of Tim Holtz Distress Powder (Shabby Shutters Green)
~ Ribbon- 1 yd of True Thyme stitched grosgrain, 1 yd of Artichoke Organdy, and 1 yd of ruffled elasticized Green Galore Checkered.
~ A compartment of Green Embellishments- brads, eyelets, clips, etc
~A bag full of green buttons!

Have a FABULOUS Day!

The random winner from comments (using random.org) goes to:

windycindy who said...
.....My mother-in-law made our first son an adorable pumpkin costume when he was 2 years old and then our second son wore it. We still have it!

As for my favorite entry.....I pictured the sweet little 2 yr old strawberry and had to go with that one as my fave.
That comment came from my blog friend,

Deborah who said...
There have been so many great ones over the years! But most recent favorite was my grand daughter Isablella as a strawberry at almost 2 years old! Berry sweet!

Ladies, I'll be emailing you for addresses. I make a trip to the post office on Friday so all of this week's prizes will go out tomorrow!

And I have some lovely orange goodies to put in my basket! But, first here is my Challenge card with today's colors! It's the 4th card with these fun Rusty Pickle papers. And I just had to use Taylor's sketch (TECC38) I drew on my desk calendar when she posted it Friday. It's so fun!

And here are your 7 ORANGE goodies:

Included are ~
6 scored cards- 2 each of Pumpkin Pie, Only Orange, Groovy Guava
A BIG Layered Orange Prima
A bag of Orange Buttons
Orange Embroidery Floss
A spool of Ribbon FX Pumpkin Ribbon
A small vial of Orange Flock
"Butter Popcorn" ZOOMZ- cool little acrylic embellishments from Stamp Galaxy.

Remember there are 2 ways each day that you can get your name entered into the drawing!
