I love blog hopping!!!!

Ok, so I've posted before about winning a blog hop.... and today I found out I have won another one!!

All this after I won 3 times at Bingo on Friday night!

I'm feeling like I'm on a lucky streak!

Today I found out I won from Monika at http://www.iloveitallwithmonikawright.com/
a
$50 Gift Certificate
to big picture classes!
I am soooooo stoked!  I have been wanting to take a card making class (cause I can never seem to put them together just right!) and now is my chance!  
I'm so sorry I don't have any eye candy today, with all this winning, it's been a busy week! 
I am working on my SC card, and hope to have that up for you all to see tomorrow! 

If you have a minute, please check out Monika's site, and see all the fun classes (and even some free ones!) over at big picture classes too! 

How about a suggestion as to what classes I should take with my gift certificate?? 
Have a Smash*ing weekend!  Go an create!

A Summer Bookmark

I Love Bingo!!!

Hubby thinks I should actually be about 65 years old....

But I Love Bingo!!!!

So when I saw the Bingo 2 Week challenge over at shoppingourstash I KNEW I was going to participate!

Of course I also love saturated canary's challenge, so for my first combo challenge, I did this little beauty

For SC the challenge this week is bookmark, 

it's perfect for that summer book I'll be picking up soon!

For the Bingo challenge I had to incorporate glitter, pearls, distressing, blue, and flower...

I love the glitter in her hair... feels like she got some sand stuck in her locks

I also got a chance to use my new denami stamps that you may remember I won in a blog hop last weekend.. That's the little butterfly, embossed and painted with pearl watercolors!
I also incorporated some of the twine I got in that same win from the twinery to the ribbon's at the top of the bookmark..

The pearls and flower I tied together in my handmade flower which is also blue

There is some distressing on the edges of the bookmark, and I also used ranger distress inks and a little punchinella on the side of the bookmark. 

I hope you love my summer bookmark!  

What is your favorite book??  How would you make a bookmark for it? 

I'm a winner!

Yep!

That's right, I'm a winner!  

This past weekend I followed a blog hop (find it here)

I got to be inspired by all the wonderful blogs out there!

Tonight after a little bit of craft shopping I came home to watch a tutorial on how to use my new Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabbers....

I then remembered the blog hop I entered and figured I might as well check to see if I could possibly be the winner.... 

And there on the winners page was my face smiling back at me!!!  I couldn't believe it!!!  No seriously, I couldn't believe it!!!  I NEVER win anything!!!!

This is a preview of the prize pack... 

I feel like the luckiest girl on the planet!!  I was literally just planning a trip back to the bakery to get some more bakers twine....

Well and for the canolli too! 

Stay tuned for how I use this great prize!!!
