BEATE'S SKETCH CHALLENGE....AND BLOG CANDY!!!

Happy Tuesday!!! WOW! It has been raining here for five straight days and although we badly need the rain, I wish it wasn't coming all at once!!! I am really hoping to see the sun today! But, I digress....I was so excited when I saw Beate had posted another sketch challenge, I have really missed doing these!! So, of course I made sure I had time for this one!! It's a fun sketch, made with a long card - haven't done one of those in awhile! I used my new stamp set Cheep Talk, I just love those little birdies!! And, I finally broke out my new corduroy brads - they are totally scrummy, I love them!! I have to have them in every color...no, really, I do, LOL! I really had fun with this one, there was soooo much you can do with it - it went into my favorites folder to pull out again for another card. Thanks Beate, for another great sketch! Here is the recipe for my card:
Card Recipe:Paper - More Mustard, Chocolate Chip, Naturals Ivory, Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss card stock, Good Morning Sunshine Designer Series Paper
Inks - Chocolate Chip classic ink, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, More Mustard Stampin' Write Markers
Stamps - Cheep Talk
Accessories - Small and Large Oval Punches, Designer Label Punch, Scalloped Edge Punch, Paper Piercer, Chocolate Chip Corduroy Brads, Old Olive narrow grosgrain ribbon, Circle Cutter, Ticket Corner Punch

And, yes, I know I promised to post my 70K hits blog candy yesterday - the day just got away from me!! But, I have it today - here it is! Sorry for the poor quality of the pic, it is just difficult with the wrap some of these items come in! So, here is what the winner will receive from me: two rolls of ribbon, a whole package of buttons, a brand new package of Making Memories 6x6 paper (Cosmopolitan Collection) a sand beige versa color ink pad,three jumbo bottle caps, a pewter tag, a hearts and swirls stencil, and a package of clear alphabet stamps! So, what do you have to do to win? Just post a link on your blog about my blog candy and leave me a comment here letting me know you did!! I will draw a winner using random.org and post the name on Saturday! Please only one entry per person and yes, this is open to everyone! Thanks again for stopping by today - I appreciate you all!
