{SPD} Some Exciting News


GUESS WHAT???????
I have some VERY exciting news to share with you, that I've been sitting on for MONTHS! You know my super amazing, sweet, talented, fantastic stampy friend Wendy Ramlakhan? Remember the roof raising, earth shattering, heart stopping, jaw dropping announcement she made a few weeks back, that she is opening her very  own stamp Company SugarPea Designs, geared towards colouring enthusiasts and lovers of all things cute?! 
Well, I am so thrilled that she asked me to join her Design Team! Whoo Hoo! How great is that? I'll tell you. It's pretty freakin' great. Nuff said!
And guess what else? Peas are one of my very favourite vegetables, so I think this is extra cool and obviously meant to be. If her company would have been called, say Eggplant Expressions, I might have had to pass on the gig. As much as I adore Wendy, I loathe eggplant more ;)

So here's the nitty gritty on winning yourself a prize:
You can help by welcoming me to the design team and get a chance to WIN a $10 gift certificate to SugarPea Designs for our very first release on Thursday, January 9th!  Sneak peeks begin on Monday, January 6th!  The winner will be announced here and on our Facebook page on November 30th!
Here's what you need to do:
 Head to the SugarPea Designs Facebook page and "like" us
Become a follower of the SugarPea Designs blog
Become a follower of my blog
Go to the SugarPea blog and leave a message to tell us you've done so!
Don't forget to add the SugarPea Designs fan badge to the side bar of your blog!  If the winner has the fan badge posted on their blog at the time we chose the winner, we will give away a $15 gift certificate instead!

{TI} For You!

Time for another challenge from Tiddly Inks!


I've used sweet Lilli Claire- Party Time on my card for this weeks Anything Goes challenge. I coloured up her present in red and green and used Christmas DP to make this into a seasonal card.
The vintage DP is by October Afternoon, and I added some sequins to keep with the retro look. Dies and button are MFT and some red jute adds some interest.


Check out the challenge blog for more inspiration!! Thanks for stopping by!

Then come on back tomorrow to check out the some MORE new stamps....this time from Rachelle Anne Miller! And ALL the new stamps will be available on Saturday night at the KKStamps Shop!!


Here are the deets: I coloured up Cupid with copics and pastels. I added glossy accents and a bit of Rock Candy glitter to the wing and heart. Dies used are by MFT (circles, fishtail flags). I sponged the edges of the circles and the lightest DP using distress ink to soften up the white. I added some large black brads in the bottom corner. I think it's fun using non--traditional DP for holiday cards....this paper is actually Carta Bella's 'Well Played', which is a game-themed collection.
