Color Throwdown #25

It's Wednesday, and that means it's time again for another Color Throwdown!  Stop by the Throwdown blog for all the details.  This week it was my turn to pick our colors, and since I just got this yummy new Nonsense paper from We R Memory Keepers, I chose my colors from that!

Have I mentioned that I'm addicted to my new Chichiboulie stamps from Stamping Bella?  I did?  You want me to shut up about them?  OK, but I'm still gonna' use them!  Isn't Eloise Greengrass the cutest?  I made my card for another friend of mine who's going through a rough time.  I hope it cheers her up and brightens her day!

I added some glitter to her wings with a Quickie glue pen, then added some serious sparkle to her pretty dress with some Angel Wings Shimmerz paint!  I hate to part with her, she's so darn cute but I know ****** could sure use a smile right now, so she's off in the mail tomorrow!  (Name omitted 'cause I know she'll see this!)

Check out the samples from the Throwdown team by visiting their blogs too, please!

OK, show of hands.... who remembers that I give away a prize for every 1,000 comments here on my blog?  Anyone???  Bueller?  Bueller?  Well, there are at least 4 people out there that I know of who won for being #1000, #2000, #3000 and #4000.  I love doing this because it's totally unexpected, and rewards those of you who regularly visit me, and leave me the nicest comments consistently.  Now actual Blog Candy contests are OK, but sometimes it seems like people just come out of the woodwork because they hear those words.  With my Comment Candy, some of my most favorite people end up being rewarded!

So, why do I mention this?  Because comment #5000 was left this morning!  And it truly is one of my most favorite people, and faithful visitors!  Barb Rose... come on down!  Here's her comment, left at 8:55 a.m. this morning...

The tulips are indeed very pretty :)! And so are these lovely cards!

Wow, it just blows my mind!  I started this blog on March 8, 2008 in the middle of a blizzard!  I can't believe that 5000 times you all have been nice enough to leave me the comments that you do!  It ALWAYS makes me smile!  Every comment!  Thank you to everyone, and congrats to Barb!  I will need you to email me with your mailing address.  I don't know yet what you're going to get Barb, but it'll be something!  I've got lots of new things on the way to the store in the coming week for Valentine's Day!

A quick card to share with you.  I placed my very first order with Stamping Bella last week, and my stamps came yesterday.  I could no longer resist those cute Chichiboulie Fairies!  So here's a quick card I made last night for a birthday girl I know!  This is also for the Our Creative Corner challenge from this past weekend to make a card using two shades of blue along with a neutral.  Yeah, my designer paper has a little bit of color other than blue, but I hope it passes under the Challenge Police radar!

It's hard to tell from my photo but I used a Sakura Stardust pen on the twinkles, and on her wings plus some gemstones on the twinkles, too!

Thanks for stopping by, and congrats again to Barb!  Have a great day!
