Wow, I received "Top Mouse" award!

I was so excited to find out that I won one of three "Top Mouse" awards by WaltzingMouse Sketch contest for my Easter card below.  

Here's my blinkie: 

This is the 2nd time I've won this award.  The last time was probably a couple of years ago.  I haven't had much of an opportunity to play along with this challenge but I hope to participate more often.  I love WaltzingMouse Stamps and the owner, Claire Brennan is so sweet and kind.  She is a wonderful friend who has been so compassionate towards me and the loss of my daughter... not to mention how amazing her stamp sets are!  

I'm so glad that everyone liked my card so much!  Thank you for the honor!  :)

I truly appreciate each and every visit.  I hope that my little projects bring you even just a small portion of joy that they bring to me when I create them.  My mom did a lot of arts and crafts with me and my siblings when we were young which instilled in me a love of creating beautiful things with my own two hands.  Thank you for coming with me on my journey of learning new skills and using my creativity in fun ways.  I hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend!  Sending love and virtual {{hugs}} to all my fellow crafters!  

CHALLENGE WINNER!!!

Do you remember THIS post? Well, this card won the color challenge on StampTV and I get to choose one stamp set from Gina K's store! I LOVE the stamps she has to sell and so of course I already own several sets... so how do I choose just ONE? LOL

I finally did choose a set and I chose "Friendship Blooms". Karl helped me choose the set since I just couldn't decided on my own. Karl saw a couple of other sets that he liked and I said, "I already have that one". I guess I had better get them out and use them in more challenges, huh?

I just thought I'd let you all know my FUN news and to encourage you to go to StampTV if you stamp, and enter in some of their challenges because guess what? They choose winners RANDOMLY! haha! If you participate you have just as much of a chance of winning as a professional designer. Cool, huh? I've made some fun friends on StampTV as well so you might as well give it a shot. Who knows? Maybe I'll win again? *crossing fingers*

Thanks for stopping by! More cards coming up a bit later!
