A Challenge, a PIF and a Hello from across the Pond

Weekends are SWEET!

And some candy is coming.....read on!

Hi all! Happy Weekend! I have to say this week has lasted forever and a day....with time for breathing at a premium! I have had a great week of mail though! First, I want to share a postcard I received from a blogging sister, Sue, from the UK....she sent me this card in a sister postcard swap. She grew up here and lives close to all this...Cool, huh? Sue was sweet enough to send me a few Tilda images of little Magnolia....



...I actually used her to make this card for a Birthday card challenge on NattyK's blog...this SBS sister challenged us to make a pink birthday card. This one is for my good friend Sarah, whose birthday in early March. I used my copic markers for the first time and I LOVE how she turned out! You cannot really tell, but I used a glitter pen on her wings and there's an 'S' on the little tag on her egg {for Sue and Sarah, tee hee} I also used my paper crimper and primas for the flowers. And my sentiment is from Gina K. My SBS sis Sue shares a lot of cards made with this sweet girl and I love them all. She's just so DARLING, don't you think??


PIF...do you all know what that is? Well, for those of you that aren't sure...it means Pass It Forward. It means you get something nice and you pass on something nice and on and on around the world :) I have always wanted to participate in a PIF, and my SBS sister Amber had my first opportunity on her blog....I commented and received these wonderful goodies! Her card is beautiful and the picture of the cuttlebugged image does not do it justice!
















The CB'ed images are GOLD and SPARKLY! And Amber sent me some new to me bellas I don't have the stamps for (LOVE BELLAS!!!!!) and green and sparkly BLING! LOVE GREEN! And finally, but not least, she sent me some adorable acrylic stamps...very cool....click on the picture for a close up! So, so fun...SO! In order for me to PIF....and if you would like some BLOG CANDY of your own.....comment here, be one of the first THREE to do so and I will send you your very own SURPRISE! Be sure your name has a weblink or you include your email, so I can contact you for your address! Oh! and if you choose to play the PIF, don't forget, you also need to PIF to three others...that's the way it works :)

Go, Go!

And have great and blessed weekend....snow and all!
