Can you believe it?? I just hit 35,000 on my visitor counter this morning!! It's so cool that so many of you have stopped in to say hi since I started this baby back in February!! And to say thanks I'm gonna do something special!!!
But first, my card!! I'm having so much fun playing with the My Favorite Things Penguins that I made another card. I just like the idea of flying down a big hill of snow on a sled......I said the IDEA! I don't know if I'd ever actually do it!! Heehee! Anyway, I stamped the sledding penguin on Whisper White cardstock in Archival Versafine Black Onyx ink and coloured him in using my Prismacolour pencils and OMS. I drew in the hill and shaded the snow, doodled the frame and then added some Waterfall Stickles to make it all sparkly, like real snow! I layered it on Bashful Blue and a Giga Scalloped Square Punch in Wild Wasabi. Also the card base is a square of WW layered with white and then the patterned paper is from the Winter Bright Simply Scrappin' kit. I added some grosgrain ribbon, two fabric covered brads which just happened to match and then stamped the sentiment at the bottom!
I am posting super early this morning because I am going to a Scrapbook Garage Sale this morning at 8am!! How fun, right?? I've never been to one and I've also put 3 boxes of my own stuff in the sale, so hopefully I'll sell more than I buy......but you know me!! Hahaha!! I'll let you know if I score some good deals!!
Now onto the celebration!!! To celebrate a) my 35,000 hits and b) the unveiling of new stamps (happening later on next week) over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps..........I will be having a contest!!! Don't you love contests and prizes??? Didn't I say there will be prizes?? Well there WILL BE!!! So leave a comment here and let me know what kind of contest you would like to see?? A sketch contest, a colour combo contest, a theme contest, an inspiration contest........what do you think?? Maybe a contest with ALL of these categories!!! I've got my thinking cap on and I will post all the details on Monday!!!
Now off to scoop some deals........and then work all day! Hmph!!

Congrats on the nits. I would love to do a theme contest. So many times when you do a color contest not everyone has all the colors available. This happened to me this week. I do not have all the new in colors in the ink or ribbon. Love your blog. Thanks for sharing.
wow! Congrats on the hits!!! I think that colour contests are the best and I personally find them the most inspiring!
A scrapbooking garage sale? How wonderful! Sure wish I had known about it...I'd have travelled to get there!
Love your latest penguin card, the colours are great. I like your sketch challenges, so I think a sketch contest would be good. nd
Congrats....I think a theme contest would be nice.

ooooh... Wow! 35,000 visits! That is so awesome, Kim! I would be honored to be in any contest with you as the judge :^) You have _such_ a way with color, that I have to say, a color combo would be cool. But whatever you cook up, I want IN!
congrats on the visits and winning! I love contests, so what ever you decide is great and I'll play! :)

Wow congrats on all your hits!!!
Contest,prizes,oohhh anything is great!Your penguins are oh so cute!
Congratulations!!! I would love to do one of your sketch challenges (I always love your sketches...) but I would do anything you put up.
I had to rebuild my blog, so I am starting from #1 again...bummer dude...but at least I can do all those "milestone" give a ways again!
I just love your card!
Hi, Kim! I need some MOTIVATION to take time out to stamp! Seems like I'm not taking any "me" time lately. So in honor of your well-deserved milestone in hits, how about a theme contest (course, I'm all about a theme.) Maybe Autumn or Halloween because I need to have some of those ready to mail!!!
wow - 35,000!! Congrats on all the hits! I think an inspiration contest would be great!
