I have been awol!

I am really not sure where I have been the past week or so....think I am still in holiday mood ( although I have been working!) , but I cannot get back to blogging, or making ART, so I thought what better time than this to give away some blog candy!! I know you like blog candy!
So here it is an ATC made by me, using alcohol inks, the new luscious Archival inks, and the Alterations Mini Butterflies Sets, and The Artistic Stamper stamps!
What am I giving away? well you can get all of it, the ATC, the die set, a set of stamps, and one of the new Archival inks!



All you have to do is add a comment to this post, and for an extra entry add the giveaway to your blog ( if you have one!)
I shall draw the winner this time next week :))
In the meantime, if you fancy free postage we have it until Sunday on the website!
Have a much more creative day than me!
Hugs

Firstly, a big thank you to all my blog followers, and everyone who left comments on the past few blog posts , it has been great to know you like the new stamps, and of course who doesn't like a bit of candy?! I know that commenting on blogs takes time, especially when Blogger decides it doesn't like you and won't let you comment!! grrr, so I am always appreciative of any that are left.. at least I know that at least one person reads the inane waffle that I write!

Celebration Time!-edited to add more candy!!

Today is my blogaversary, and who would have thought 3 years ago, that I would be telling you about my days, showing you my ART (such as it is! lol) ,or trying to photograph you my VERY messy desk!

 I love what I do, I love that I make stamps, that I can indulge in making art, that I teach , and that I have learnt so much over the years! I also love that I have met so many talented people from all over the world too through the power of the blog!
 It is only made possible by you, who buy my stamps and products, and create with them...

So to celebrate I am GIVING AWAY over £100 worth of goodies, including Tim's Compendium of Curiosities, a wooden bird to alter, a Sizzix Alteration, lots of Artistic Stamper stamps, Kling-On, a mini suitcase  that is impossible to get anymore, grungepaper, and some idea-ology.

Who knows I may even throw in more ( some of the new Sizzix dies are winging their way to me for delivery on Monday!*wink*). Actually if we have more than 100 comments I will add a new die.

So... to WIN this all you have to do is make a comment below, add the candy to your sidebar if you wish, make a comment on The Artistic Stamper Creative Team blog too, ( checkout the art there.. stunning!) and become a follower of both blogs. My!  that means you have FIVE whopping chances to win!! That is good odds in my book!! lol. I will post all around the world too! The blog candy finishes in two weeks, and  I will choose the winner or could that be winners *wink* on Monday 27th September.

Just as an aside, a big thank you to Hels, who made the first comment on my blog, and encouraged me to go for it.... :)))
I need to get some sleep as I am making a mess with melt art at Pickleberry Papercrafts later today, and hoping to have some fun too!
Happy Creativity and good luck!

edited-- to add this wonderful Alterations embossing folder, as we now have more than 100 comments.. make it 200 and I will add more!!!





Good Luck in the draw!
 

Advent Artwork

I do hope you are having a good rest and having a great holiday. We had our Christmas Day with my children yesterday,( as they spent Christmas at their Dad's), all the trimmings , turkey, pudding, brandy butter etc, then the ritual of opening presents under the tree. It was fun, and different. Watching grown-ups play the Wii is hilarious, and competition is always rife in our house!!!

I managed to make a short movie of all the pieces I made during Advent. I confess I have to experiment a bit more with making movies, and think an investment of a video camera may well be in order, or that I have to learn to use my movie maker programme!

The blog candy for Christmas Day is still up for grabs, so add a comment here or become a follower and be in it to win!

Have a good day.

Big Blog Candy Give-away

It is very quiet in my house today, everyone is stil asleep, and I am sitting here at my desk blogging! I promised myself I would try to have time for myself, but it has become addictive, so here I am again with a little piece of artwork I made but didn't show. Just a reminder that the blog candy featured HERE, is on offer until 1st January when I will choose a winner. You need to post a comment or become a follower until then to be in it to win it!
 I silver uteed the Father Christmas on an Oval Stampbord, and then layered him on piece of card I had alcohol inked red with a bit too much with silver. It has tendency to take over if you use too much.

I rather like this piece now, but at the time wasn't sure, so if you would like this piece of artwork, then all you have to do is comment. I will choose a winner when I next blog . Don't forget to comment to win the massive blog candy too!

Have a quiet Sunday....
