My Birthday Candy Winner!

Ooops, so sorry...I made my post but don't think I 'scheduled' it correctly so it did not post on Wednesday...yikes...here it is!

Oh my gosh, you guys are all so fantastic!  Thank you to each and everyone for your sweet comments!  I will be visiting everyone's blog by this weekend...and thank you again for coming to visit me!

As I mentioned, I included all the comments and gave extra entries for those who participated in the Chick Challenges, and those who placed any orders from my {ippity} shop.  

I did this the old fashioned way...printed them up, cut and folded them, mixed them all up, and drew one winner:::::::::::::

The person who gets all this fun stuff sent to them is::::::::::::::

JPScraps!

Woohoo, CONGRATS!  

Please send me an email with your address: jenstampin4u at aol dot com

 and I will ship off your goodies!

Thank you so much everyone for entering in my blog candy...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

  

'thanks' in many ways

Sorry, I had computer issues with my 'pictures'.


So...
Today is the last day to enter my birthday candy! 

Yup, my birthday week is over!

To see the details, please click on my 'birthday candy' button to the right >>> 

or go to my December 9th post!

Now, put on your memory cap...do you remember how I made this complilation of words using the Wordle program...back in October?  

Well, I decided to do something similiar with my {ippity} stamps. However, I wanted to just play with words of 'thanks'.

So what do you think? Would this be something you would try? I had fun creating this and I know I will do it again (except I will use my 'thing-a-ma-jig' to make sure my sentiments are all straight)!  

All the sentiments were from various {ippity} stamp sets: 

'many thanks' is from {ippity} bitty pixie paisley

'Thanks.' is from {ippity} The Simple Things

'Thanks' is from {ippity} Regal Greetings

'thanks so much' is from {ippity} Just Wanted to Say

Isn't this a great variety of 'thanks' sentiments?  
If you NEED any of these sets, you can visit 

my Jen's Cup of {ippity} shop HERE.

I used my Fiskars Upper Crest border punch again too, my Imaginisce i-rock tool and bling, and that yummy ribbon is from one of my local scrapbook stores.

My Friday addition to my blog candy is this 'ten things I love about you' scrapbook (5x5):

My Saturday addition to my blog candy is a brand new SU Old Olive Ink Pad and some elements (for some reason I have dup's and more of these items):

As my card for today says 'thanks, thanks so much, many thanks, and Thanks.
for visiting me my friends!

Don't forget to leave a comment for another chance at the total blog candy package!
You can also join in on the Chick Challenges {with ippity} sketch for two additional entries, but you must do so today, since it's the last day of my candy!

Click on the badge to take you there!

I will announce the winner on Wednesday!

Yay, have a happy {ippity} week!

Computer Issues

I was supposed to do a couple of posts, however, my computer is having issues with all my photo's...eeeks!
I am planning to complete my ~birthday candy giveaway~ with a last post on Monday, 12/19 and then post the winner on Wednesday, 12/21!
So sorry for my delay!

Thanks~

(For my birthday candy info, click on the picture to the right>>>

or go to my post on December 9th! Only two more days left.)

Aren't we always in need of 'thank you' cards? Especially after the holidays!

I used my {ippity} Regal Greetings 'thanks' stamp and {ippity}Mark Your Mark 'honeycomb' stamp for the two corners. I've got these two sets in stock, if you NEED them! *wink*

 The paper is Basic Grey 'basic manila' paper pad, with sponged edges in Antique Linen Distress Ink. The edge punch is Fiskars Border Punch All-A-Fleur Lis.

Above is my addition to my birthday candy for Wednesday: 5 pre-scored cards and matching envelopes in a speckled kraft color.  

And for today: 10 black embellies (black textured cardstock) from the SU Designer Label Punch (now retired).

On Saturday, I will be showing another 'thank you' creation.

Thanks for coming by today!

{ippity} Gift Card Holder~

So, as I was thinking...my birthday candy so far has a punch, an embellishment, some envelopes, and an ink pad...hmmm...

(For my birthday candy info, click on the picture to the right >>>>

So back to my birthday candy...I think it needs something like a stamp, don't you?
