This post has a lot of events since today marks the celebration of Midnight Madness One Year Anniversay and a Big Blog Prize! Please put your name down for the lucky drawing. For the ENTIRE MONTH, the DT will be sending mystery prizes :) to the winners who play our sketch, so do join in! You really don't want to miss any of the fun and I know I will miss some of the details, so please hop on over to the Midnight Madness Blog.
In fact, I am one of the ones offering up some blog candy toward the blog prize this week!! Here is a sneak peak of it....
Congrats to the Gold Star award: #5 Karen Wallace and Remarkable winners: #15 Grace
#29 Mrs Boz, #53 Holly Miller
We have some "Royals Court" players, these loyal players who have never missed a sketch with us!! Congrats to *Darlene, *Loz, Julia, Peggy Elms, Karen Wallace, Ger Stringer, Pam, Valarie Florer , Vicki Kertz , Sue Drees, Sandee, Grace, Lisa V, Teri Sherman. Thank you Ladies for your continued support to the Madness sketch!
Today I too am celebrating one year being on the Dt but it is also my last week as a Midnight Madness Design team member. It is hard to say goodbye as I have had so many memories with these dear friends. We have laughed, shared our joys and sorrows and been inspired by one another in so many ways. With the summer approaching, however, I felt it was time to lessen my commitments up a bit so I could spend more time in my gardens and with my girls and hubby. My time as a MMSC design team member will be a memory I will treasure. This is not a goodbye at all, however, since I do plan to keep playing as time allows and I will be stalking their blogs. Who knows....I may return as a dt member some day if they will have me!! Love you all girls!!! Thanks for this awesome opportunity to work with you!! You all have so much talent and your kindness has warmed my heart!!
Now before I get to emotional....let us go on to this week's sketch and sponsors....
*Our MMSC52 weekly Bonus sponsor is.....
**Our May Monthly Sponsor is....
PB Stamps
Throughout the month, our Design Team members will be randomly sending our weekly winners something special in the mail as part of our Anniversary celebration. Some DT may post these gifts on their blogs and some may leave it as a Mystery, but rest assured, if you are our weekly Bonus winner, not only will you win our Sponsors gifts, but you will also be getting showered with a few extra surprises in your mail box from the team!! How fun is that? :)
**Our May Monthly Sponsor is....
PB Stamps
Once again, it's "YOUR PICK" Make it fancy, clean and simple, or somewhere in-between. Remember to click on the sneak peek button on the side bar for the following weeks sketch each Friday.
Enter one style or both this week.
Just have fun and come play with us :)
Since this week's sponsor is PB which sells exclusively retired Penny Black images, I had the opportunity to use their stamps for this week's creation!! I love Penny Black but just don't have as much time as I would like to use them.
Here is my take on the sketch:
Since this week's sponsor is PB which sells exclusively retired Penny Black images, I had the opportunity to use their stamps for this week's creation!! I love Penny Black but just don't have as much time as I would like to use them.
Here is my take on the sketch:
I used Marching Mouse and Gifts for you image from Penny Black as well as some Basic Grey Paper. The image is colored with copics except for the sponged background. What do you think?
This next card is using the same sketch but it is a sneak peak of a new digital image to be released at Whimsy stamps tomorrow!! The digital is called Little Red Riding Hood. Isn't it just darling!! I used some dp from my stash which I have been hoarding from Crate Paper. I bought it in Lancaster last year. Again, the image is colored in copics. You won't want to miss the fun tomorrow at Whimsy tomorrow as their will be a new challenge and a blog hop that will be occurring simultaneously at noon!! Hope to see you there!! The images and sentiments are darling and perfect for so many occasions!!Oh and tomorrow also marks the beginning of the new speak peaks at Wags n Whiskers as well!! Friday there will be a blog hop and the stamps will be available to purchase!! You won't want to miss these cuties!!
