Hello, and Happy Weekend!

Today is the last day of Cherish Each Precious Day's Blogaversary Celebration!

It's not too late to comment on Days 1-5...just scroll down!

We have an awesome sponsor today!

Dani Daflin, of Die-Versions Dies, has graciously sent an absolutely

STUNNING die, for one of you to win!

Die-Versions Dies are amazing.  They truly do cut beautifully, slicing through cardstock like it's butter, and the die cuts are delicate and gorgeous!  I'm so blessed to be a part of the

Die-Versions Design Team (I'm a Dynamo!!!).  We work together like one big,

happy family, and we love working with these high quality dies that are

MADE IN THE USA!

Here is one of my favorite projects using Die-Versions Dies:

These dog tags were cut from metal sheeting, using the Die-Versions "Military Tags" Whispers DVW-341

Here is the beautiful die that Dani has provided.
One of YOU will win this - talk about easily mass produced cards!



While I do not own this die, I do own the Merry Christmas die.
So that you can see the scale of this sentiment, here is a card that I made using the Merry Christmas die:

Beautiful, right?

So....how can you win?

1. Leave a comment on this post = 1 chance
2. Leave a comment on the Die-Versions blog = 1 chance
3. Become a Die-Versions blog follower = 1 chance
4. Leave some love (tell Dani I sent you) on the Die-Versions FB page = 1 chance

I hope that you've enjoyed my Blogaversary as much as I have!
Thank you SO much for stopping by!
Remember that you need only scroll down to comment on Days 1 through 5!

Winners will be posted here on Monday, October 13th, probably late morning.

I'll be away from my computer over the weekend, so if you leave a comment here, and it doesn't show up, be patient!  It will show up Sunday evening, I promise!

Hugs and GOOD LUCK to you all!

Blogaversary Celebration - Day Five!

Hello!

Oh my goodness - today is Day FIVE! One more to go!

Thanks for stopping by today - you're going to love the prize!!!

It's not too late to enter for Day One, Two, Three, or Four - just scroll down!

Lots of nice prizes - you could be a winner!

Our sponsor today is pretty special.  When I began stamping several years ago,

this was one of the first stamp lines that I worked with that was not a

catalog company.  I'm so pleased to tell you that our prize

today is a $25 gift card to:

Great Impressions Stamps!!!

I've had the pleasure of working with the Great Impressions team members for three months of Guest DT work over the last couple of years.  Each time I 'guested', was an amazing time.

The DT is always so friendly, and Deone, the owner is amazing, and so genuine and generous!

Great Impressions Stamps is one of my favorite stamp lines. They ink up and stamp

beautifully, and the images are perfect for everyday projects.

Thank you to Deone at Great Impressions Stamps, for helping to make this

Blogaversary Celebration special!

Here are some of my favorite Great Impressions projects!

These three cards use one of the new release stamps 'Someone Like You'.  You can see just how versatile this stamp is!

This fun little card uses Great Impressions 'Udderly', and 'Party Cow'.  What a fun creation this was. It actually was made for our new daughter in law's birthday!

So.....

How can you win?

1. Leave a comment here = 1 chance!

2. Leave a comment (tell them I sent you!) on the Great Impressions FB Page = 1 chance

Good Luck!

Hugs,

Patti J.

Blogaversary Celebration - Day Four!

I'm back today with another Blogaversary Giveaway!

This is SO much fun, but....

WHERE IS EVERYBODY????

Remind all of your friends to drop by and leave a comment!

It's not to late to comment on 

Day One, or...

Day Two, or...

Day Three!

I love giving stuff away! And remember, you don't have to do any of the extra steps - 

those are just an opportunity for you to have another chance to win!

Now, on to today's wonderful Prizes!

There will be TWO winners today!  Yep, TWO winners!

First, we have a very special lady, Laurie Wilson, of Doodle Pantry,

sponsoring me with a $10 gift card to the Doodle Pantry store!  If you enjoy digi images, 

you will LOVE this gift card - and $10 will buy a lot of digi goodness!  

Seriously, Laurie is so talented, and so kind. Having been both a Doodle Pantry DT member, 

and a Guest DT member (a few times over!), I can vouch for both the ease of downloading and using the images and the illustrator!

Thank you so much, Laurie, for your generosity!

Here is one of my favorite Doodle Pantry Images (and this one is pre-colored!).

The pre-colored digi's make a card SO quickly, and what fun cards!!!

This image is Pumpkin Birdie -it comes in both black and white, and pre-colored!

You can find this set HERE

And you can find this set HERE!

******************************************************

NEXT up....we have a gift card from a new-to-me stamp company!

I discovered this company, Treasured Times Stamps, when they posted a Design

Team Call.  I didn't make the team, but I am enjoying the DT's creations,

and am loving the products that I've purchased!

Jody Stacy is the owner of Treasured Times Stamps.  She's loved art since she was very little. Jody has actually been painting for 26 years!  In 2011, she started up Treasured Times Stamps, and not only does she work with some pretty great illustrators, but she's started her own Stamp Line, called the Lilly Mae Collection. This collection features little girls in Prairie Dresses, Pantaloons, and Sunbonnets.  How cute they are! You can see them HERE.

Jody is another sweet lady. I'm so happy to call her a blogging friend, and look forward

to using more of her products - I have my 'Dear Santa, I want it all' list ready to go!

Thank you Jody, for your generosity!

Here is what I made, using the Treasured Times Rubber Stamps #845-S Peaceful Thoughts, and a template that I found at Splitcoast Stampers...

Here is the card/box opened up.  I'm not sure yet who is getting this, or for what occasion, so I've left the sentiment off for now.  Isn't this image darling???  So sweet!

To win one of these prizes:

1. Leave a comment here = 1 chance

2. Leave a comment on the Doodle Pantry FB Page - tell Laurie I sent you = 1 chance

3. Leave a comment on the Treasured Times Stamps FB page - tell Jody I sent you = 1 chance

Isn't this just too much fun?

Day 5 will be on Friday, October 10th, and

Day 6 will be on Saturday, October 11th.

All winners will be announced on Monday, October 13th - good luck to all!!!

Hugs,

Patti J.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Blogaversary Celebration - Day Three!

Welcome to Day Three of Blogaversary

Celebration!

Today, I am so excited to be sponsored by CardMaker Magazine!

They have generously offered up three beautiful pattern books to be given away,

so today, there will be THREE winners!

Before I show you the prizes, let me first encourage you to submit your beautiful work for publication to CardMaker Magazine!  It takes time, but it's so rewarding to see a project of your own in a real life glossy publication!  And, don't give up, if you try, and are not accepted - I've had far more submissions turned down, than I have accepted.  Hang in there and keep trying.
Keep in mind that just because you're turned down, it doesn't mean that your work is not good enough.  Often, they are trying to complete a page with certain color schemes, or textures, and are looking for just the right project.

Here is one of my favorite items that I had published in an issue of CardMaker:

This card was created with Our Daily Bread Designs stamps.  It actually shared a corner of the cover with several other   cards - so, I am 'almost' a Cover Girl!  When that happens for reals, you will hear me celebrating, and I will probably be asked to leave the post office, as I'll be happy dancing, and that will not be a pretty sight!

On to today's giveaway!
Here's what's up for grabs:

So....did I peek?  OMG - YES I did!  What a wonderful resource, if you like cards that move, pop, and create smiles!

Squeeee!  I had to look at this one too!  I used to Cross-Stitch some pretty amazing pieces. I haven't done so in a while, but this fun project book got my wheels turning, and who knows?  I may pick up that Aida cloth again soon!  Look at the beautiful Autumn pattern - too gorgeous, right?

Although, I am not a quiller, this book has some stunning patterns for those of you who might be!  I've actually tried quilling, and I have the utmost respect for those of you who do it - what a beautiful art!

So.....how can you win one of these beautiful magazines?

Well....you have three chances again!

1.  Leave a comment here giving me a bit of 'bl'irthday love = 1 chance to win!
2.  Become a follower of the CardMaker blog, and leave a comment telling them that I sent you = 1 chance to win!
3. Go to the CardMaker Facebook Page, hit the 'LIKE' button, and leave a bit of love, telling them that I sent you = 1 chance to win!

That's it - easy peasy, right?

Thanks for stopping by today - BLirthdays are so much fun!
We're only halfway through our celebration, so be sure to tell all your friends to stop by!

See you Thursday for Day Four!

Hugs and blessings,
Patti J.

Blogaversary Celebration - Day One!

Oh, happy day!

It’s time for Cherish Each Precious Day’s Blogaversary celebration!

My beautiful blog badges are created from digitally modified Doodle Pantry files!
Be sure to check out their new release....this gorgeous pumpkin is in one of the new releases!

Here’s what’s being celebrated…

~I posted my first papercrafting item SIX years ago!

~It’s crazy to imagine, but the blog will also reach 1100 posts next week!

~It’s also been a great year –

~Our daughter and her husband blessed us with a first grandchild

~Our son married an amazing woman,

~I turned the big 6-0 in April, and everything still works!

I have met many wonderful people through this incredible love of all things paper. 

When we travel, I always try to meet one of my crafty long-distance friends. 

What fun it is to meet and create, or shop with someone that has previously been only an on-line face. It is incredible to me that each of you I come to know, are so genuine, generous, and full of love for fellow crafters.  I’ve seen card drives for illnesses or deaths, requests for prayers, financial requests, and I’ve been on the receiving end of many kindnesses, from prayers to birthday cards and RAK gifts coming in the mail.  And…I’m still in awe of the number of you that befriended our daughter during her husbands’ deployment. They still covet the many cards, gifts, and kindnesses that you showed, and I'll never forget you!

My friend Shirley is like a sister to me, and she's where 'it' all began for me!  Shirley was a demo for TAC, and had a local card class. I attended, and was hooked.  TAC closed its’ doors, but Shirley is now a demo for A Muse Studio, and the rest is history! 

Thank you Shirley, for all I learned from you, but most important, for your friendship.

NOW...ON TO THE GIVEAWAY!

Some of you have been here since the very beginning.  Others have only been here a day or two.  I’m so humbled and amazed that I am so lucky. You are all wonderful, so this celebration is for you!

There will be SIX days in October, where we will celebrate with a giveaway.

What fun!  I love giveaways, especially when I’m the giver!!!

Just keep checking back – when we have a celebration day, leave a comment!

Each day, there will be a chance to enter twice, as well...read on!

At the end, there will be one post, listing all winners.

TODAY is DAY 1!

Creations by AR is sponsoring today’s giveaway! 

Thank you to Creations by AR!

Adela, the owner and the brain behind the most incredible 3-D templates! Whether you have the best cutting machine available, or just a pair of trusty scissors, you can create beautiful 3-D items with her magical templates!  Here’s one of my favorite Creations by AR templates:

Creations by AR is generously giving a $20.00 gift card to one winner – it could be you, and just in time for the holidays!  How can you win?

1. leave a comment here on today’s blog post = 1 chance to win.

Blogaversary Coming Soon...!

Hello!

Wishing you a Sunday full of blessings!

Just a heads-up for my faithful followers!  This has been a year of many

wonderful events!

Just to name a few - 

I turned 60 (and everything still works!)

We were blessed with our first grandbaby (and she is delightfully healthy!)

Our son married a wonderful woman (we are keeping her!)

We've made two trips to Germany, and one to California!
I've posted 1100 blog posts - yup, 1100!!!

 ...and many more amazing things!

On October 2nd, it will be SIX years since I posted my first papercrafting project!

I'm sure that I learned this fun fold from my friend (and then, teacher) Shirley!

This was actually my first published card as well...

Lol...not only has my cardmaking improved, but so has my photography!

You, my faithful friends, have been with me through good days and bad,
through weeks of many posts and weeks of none............

So!  I'm planning six days of Blogaversary celebrations!

Stay tuned for Day 1 - October 3rd - there will be candy!
Check back often, as there will be 5 more days of Blogaversary candy in October!

Have a great day,

Patti J.
