Bonus WinnerS!

If you're here to see my Divine Design project, I will be posting it sometime this weekend or Monday at the latest. I dropped the ball on that one, but have a great scripture in mind so it should come together okay!
I'm going to be announcing some BIG winners this weekend. I'm here for a few minutes to ask for your patience as I make sure I've got everyone's name written down and put in the hat.

I do have some winners from the Bonus Drawing yesterday. Remember I asked your favorite thing? Well, I had a plan. Most of the things in the basket I have more of SO... I drew out names until I couldn't replicate the favorite thing!
We ended up with 3 winners!
Will you 3 please send your address my way?

Dawn, I've got some big paper clips for you!
Kitty Mom who said...
Your basket is AWESOME and I'd be honored to welcome all the items into my home. I'd be most excited to try the transparency cards from clear day. I haven't played with them and have seen some super cool ideas out there.

I went with this week's color challenge at SCS which was Kiwi Kiss (Old Oive), Riding Hood Red (Ruby) and Pretty in Pink. I used the older colors, but did have a small piece of Kiwi Kiss DP which I ran through my Cuttlebug with the birthday folder. The complete awful recipe is at the end of the post. Hey... you can't win em all.Your GOLD addition to the basket which is now overflowing!
~2 pre-scored cards in Brushed Gold

I would love to know your ONE favorite thing (not color group) that's been added to the basket so far! I'll draw a random winner on Saturday and announce the prize at that time too. I think you'll like it!

Day 18- FINAL DAY

Today's Challenge:

A Birthday card of course!

Use one of last year's sketches (found at the bottom of my blog) for a bonus entry!

Today is the last day for a challenge! Tomorrow is my actual birthday and so I am taking the day off from blogging. It's supposed to be a gorgeous day with the high near 80! I plan on spending it outside for sure!
You can still play along.

Take tomorrow to catch up on challenges. I'll be back on Saturday announcing winners! I still have stuff to give away and I'll be drawing names from all of the entries so far. I've kept the challenge entries separate from the daily question entries and I have something special for one of the challenge entries! You may want to get your name in that hat if you haven't already!
Important:

I've been very careful to make sure every entry gets counted. If I have not commented on your gallery or blog post for one of your challenge entries than it did not get counted. (If you've emailed me the entry, I will have replied.) Please email me the link again if you did not get a response from me!
Have a VERY blessed day!
~Angel

Today's Question:
Enable me!
Let's pretend you've just been given a $100 birthday gift card to anywhere. You must spend this on yourself.
What will you buy?
What's on your wish list?

SILVER Day!

I almost feel as if I should apologize for the simplicity of this card. It was so very easy, but a necessity since I've got a headache. Katie is taking a class in Child Development and we are working on a baby book for her project. So, I've got babies on the brain. I pulled out some Paper Trey products for my card. I had started collecting their new ink and cardstock colors as I really love Paper Trey, but unfortunately couldn't afford it after the second color release. {sigh}
(Card Recipe at the end of post.)

How about some silver products to add to our Pot o' Gold??
I'm adding:
~2 pre-scored cards in Brushed Silver
~One pkg of Crayola Brand Paper in Stardust Silver (10 sheets)
~Silver Metallic Accents (DCWV)
~Silver cord- 1 yd & Silver Ribbon- 1 yd
~Jumbo Paperclips in Silver
~1 small vial of SU Silver Shine glitter
~a container of SU Sterling Silver embossing powder

That's all for me today! Tomorrow is the last day I'll add to the prize basket. Hmm.... I wonder what color is left at the end of the rainbow?
See you in the morning with the last challenge!
~Angel

Card Recipe:
Stamps~ All Year Cheer
Ink~ Berry Sorbet
Paper~ PTI Sweet Blush, Berry Sorbet, Spring Moss and Stamper Select White and PTI Text Style Pink Patterns DP
Accessories~ K & Co Brenda Walton glittered chipboard elephant, Prima Flower and K & Co Jewel

Rainbow of Ribbon Winner!

Looks like Jami (sgtstamper) is the winner of the Rainbow of Ribbon. She pays a lot more for gas in Korea than we do here in the states! And that calls for free ribbon!
The average was $2.41!

CLEAR Day!

Don't you love technology? I'll be nowhere near my computer at all today with a day full of plans...doctor, vote, grocery shop, errands. But, yet here I am posting my project at noon on the dot!
My sweet friend Nancy sent me some adorable Pink Poison stamps and these lovely birdies were amongst them.
Aren't they cute? I've added Crystal Effects over the entire birdie image, sentiment and small snowflake. It adds so much!
(By the way, Nancy has some blog candy over on her site as well!)
I found the sketch on Splitocast. It's an oldie- #107. Did you know you can download all of the sketches from Splitcoast and do them anytime you like? Here is a link! I'm going to make it my goal to catch up on the SCS sketches next year. I just love sketches!

BROWN Day!

I'm back. I am really trying to get my samples posted by noon, but it's just not happening for some reason.
Today's card once again uses "Joy to the World".

I really like this new ODBD set, so I used shrink plastic and shrunk my image down to the right size for the sketch. My picture doesn't at all capture the "coolness" of the card. It's very 3D. The card recipe is at the end of this post.

Today's BROWN addition includes:
~3 prescored cards in shades of brown: Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa and I included Really Rust in this group as well.
~a baggie of Brown Buttons
~a spool of stitched brown ribbon and a yard of light brown grosgrain
~3 velvetty brown blooms
~12 Brown Cuttlebugged Quarter sheets
~6x6 Background papers in shades of brown (not pictured for some reason)
~A CD case full of leaves punched and diecut in shades of brown and tan (a few pictured)

I have a very full day tomorrow as I have a doctor's appointment with a new specialist AND of course I have to vote. So, I am off to schedule tomorrow's posts.
A small change in plans....the winner of the BONUS (ODBD set) will be drawn after my errands tomorrow not at 9:00 am as previously posted. Sorry about that.

Have a very blessed day!
~Angel

Card Recipe:
Stamps~ Joy to the World (ODBD), Graceful Words (SU); Ink~ Cranberry, Blazing Red Stazon; Paper~ Natural White, Basic Grey DP- Figgy Pudding; Accessories~ Shrink plastic, Dimensionals, Distresser

It is Day 15!
Can you believe it?
How about another Sketch?
Who's got their game on today?
This sketch is not a typical sized card, but you can certainly change the dimensions if you like. Can I suggest you try a 3x6 card? I love that size!
{Complete contest rules are found on this post.}
I'll be back soon with my sample!
~Angel

As you know ODBD released 3 new sets this past weekend!
What is your favorite Our Daily Bread Designs set? Go to the site and check them ALL out and come back and tell me your favorite!
My favorite is "On Eagle's Wings". I consider Isaiah 40:31 my life's verse and was SO very excited when Kelley made it into an ODBD set. Kelley was so very generous to allow me to give this set away to one lucky winner. I'll draw a name from the comments (telling me your favorite ODBD set) on this post tomorrow morning (11-04-08) at 9 am EST.
ETA~ Winner will be drawn after my appointments and errands tomorrow.
Some time in the afternoon.

Kraft/Tan Day!

My family is waiting for me so this will be a quick post!!
I should have had my card ready to post before today, but had to stamp something after church today and it just didn't go as well as it did in my head! So, this is Card #2 and it still isn't what I'd hoped for, but here it is!

Today's card uses "Joy to the World"- one of 3 new ODBD stamps that are available NOW! Get this one folks! The nativity scene is absolutely precious. And the font is SO cool! I love it.

I love simple cards and one-layered cards are as easy as they get. Can you WOW me with just one layer of cardstock? Give it a shot!
You can add a small embellishment, but keep the actual paper to only one layer!
I'll be back with my sample before noon!
Can you get yours uploaded before me for an early bird entry? Today is the last day for that opportunity!

Today's Getting to know you Question:
Today is my mom's birthday, so in honor of her, tell me your mom's name (or caregiver from your childhood) and one word to describe her.
My mom's name is Wanda and one word for her is "Strength".

Vanilla/Cream Day!

This quilt block stamp was given to me when my hubby's beloved grandma passed away almost a year ago. It's an older stamp and doesn't have a company name or any markings on it whatsoever. But it stills stamps so very well.
I have friends who are quilters and so I went online and found a quilting quote. I stamped these blocks in rows with the help of my Stampamajig. The colors are this week's SCS color challenge (Olive, Pumpkin and Pixie Pink) and they're very bright and cheery, don't you think?


~Today's Vanilla Cream Additions~
Mmm.... doesn't vanilla cream sound good?

Your vanilla goodies are:
~3 pre-scored cards in Very Vanilla, Confetti Cream and Naturals Ivory
~A Monday Metal in Antique White
~10 Ivory Skeleton leaves
~a bag of assorted cream colored buttons
~Ribbon- 1 yd of cream linen grosgrain and 10 yds of 1/2" Ivory Organdy
~a baggie of Postage stamps (I love these for collages)
~1 dozen cuttlebugged embossed panels in vanilla and ivory

That does it for me today. I'm spending the day with Kevin as he turns 44! Shhhh!
Have a Blessed Day!
~Angel

Stamps: Quilt Block

Today's "Getting to know YOU" Question:
What do you feel is your best quality? Or perhaps the gift God has blessed you with? Don't be shy!

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

Card Recipe~ Stamps: DD Pines, Antique Cracking, Canvas, Sentiment ? Ink: Close to Cocoa, Choc Chip, So Saffron, Versamark; Paper: Choc Chip, So Saffron, Close to Cocoa, unknown DP; Accessories: Distresser, Ruffled Choc Ribbon, string, Sahara Pearls EP (Stampn Stuff), Slot Punch

Yes, I have an agenda. Hubby's birthday is tomorrow. Here I am waiting til the last minute.
See ya in a bit!
~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!
