A winner and a little... OOPS...

So I wondered why I had not recieved an email from the winner of my last giveaway... It is probably because of the fact that my announcement post was saved as DRAFT and never posted!

My Bad...

I guess this is where the real me shines :) And that is OK.

You see... this is me, right now. Right now things have been a little crazy around here. And by crazy I mean in a good way. This summer I have had some time to truly stop. It feels like I have been living on some alternate planet earth that is running in fast forward. A few months ago I made a decision to just stop. Stop for a while, take some time to myself (something that I rarely do), time for my husband and time for our family. This time has been so good for me, truly helping me to realize where I am right now and what is important to me.

With this I guess some of the little things (like blog posting) have taken a hit. Well, I am sorry for this... please excuse my posting oversight :)

So with out further hesitation the winner of the giveaway is...

Kylie B!

Please email me your address (primadonnaliz@yahoo(dot)com) and I will get this out to you!

Thanks again for those of you who played along with the giveaway and on the CK sight, it was so fun to see some t-shirt embellishements and all of the creative ideas you came up with!

A message from a Diligent Girl...

Diligent

diligent [ˈdɪlɪdʒənt]adj

1. careful and persevering in carrying out tasks or duties

Why yes... I am Diligent...

Although I have never fully understood the meaning or should I say, digested the meaning of diligence I choose to do so now. At this very moment I am choosing to follow through, to commit, to show my integrity in what I do and process before doing. I love this definition and the way that the writer chose to add the word "careful".

With the hustle and bustle of what this world has told us to be, it is no wonder that this word "Careful" struck a cord with me. The idea of taking the time to be methodical with actions and words should be a priority, yet it sometimes doesn't even make the short list, even with myself.

(click on the picture to make it larger!)

Again, the words of the Brave Girl birdie hit home and brought a smile to my face :)

RAK WINNERS

So we also need to pick a winner for our bottle of "Piece of Heart" Glimmer Mist. And the winner is.....

Wear your Adhesive on the Outside

Ok, so here and there I have shared some fun things that you can do with products by SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L this month I am teaming up with my talented friend Nathalie Kalbach on a month long quest to share with you just how much fun you can have "Wearing your adhesive on the Outside". If you don't know Nat, YOU NEED TO! She is awesome and totally talented, I absolutely adore her and have had the privilege to work with her on a few different teams. Check out her blog here. So a week or so ago I found out that Nat was joining the SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L design team. We had already talked about doing a blog hop and decided to make March our month to share some of our favorite techniques using this fabulous adhesive.

Here is my video:



As well you can check out Nat's blog to check out her video too! We are each doing a video every Monday for the month of March. These videos will share with you some awesome uses for SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L products.

Here are a few images of the techniques that I share on the video:



Using the Adhesive Sheets with Tattered Angels Glimmer Screens (Timeless Romance)


Art Journal that uses the Adhesive Sheets to adhere Glitter to the back side of a Prima Flocked Transparency and then another Adhesive sheet is used to adhere the Glittered Flocked Transparency to a clear acrylic album.

The back side of the cover



Here I used the extra pieces of the Adhesive Sheet paired with silver foil to create a distressed foiled look on my cardboard.


This technique uses the E-Z Dots runner with Flock to create this cute polka dot looking stripe. Kind of like a faux ribbon applique.



So be sure to check us out each Monday as we share our favorite techniques with SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L products. Next week we will be using the craft and photo tape which I absolutely ADORE! It is going to be AWESOME! Thanks to all of you who have signed up for "The Shape to Come" site. If you haven't yet taken the time, you will want to! The new product that SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L is coming out with is AWESOME!

And as promised I have a winner for this last months giveaway. And the winner is...

And in the nature of our little blog hop, me and Nat will both be doing a giveaway on our blogs for all of you who join in through out the month on our little blog hop. Just take the techniques that we are sharing with you and apply them to on of your projects. The more times you try the more chances you have to win! Link back to your project on a comment here through out the month or you can tag us to your pic on Facebook, both will count. All entries will need to be dated March 1st 2010 or after and we will be picking our winners Monday, April 5th.

RAK- HOPE for Autism

This is my Hope for Autism...

I am very blessed to have a son that is on the Autism spectrum. And although he is considered to be on the spectrum, it is with a full and promised heart that I look at him and see potential. Sawyer is on the lighter side of Autism (he falls under the diagnosis of PDD-NOS) and as I look at him, I see future, promise, prosperity, hope. I can not look at my son and not wonder about his future, what he will endure, what he will face, but what I do know is that he is held in the hands of God, and I know that God never sets us up for failure and that through Christ, we can do ALL things. I love this boy, and he has shown me so much more about myself that I never thought I could handle, being Sawyers mommy has made me a fighter, and warrior, a conquerer and even more so an advocate, his advocate. This month being Autism Awareness month, I really want to share my blessings of being a mother of a child on the spectrum (believe me I am blessed, there are so many other parents of Autistic children, who NEVER hear I love you from their child) with you all, and I would really love it if you all could join in with me to offer hope to those who are effected by Autism.

This month (every Monday) I am offering a completly random RAK ( I will random.org one winner) of various scrapbook stash items to anyone who posts a reply to that mondays thread. When you post, I would love to hear a story of your own of how you are effected by Autism (just about everyone knows someone who is diagnosed with Autism), or if you would like you can add a link to an Autism site, or even give an Autism statistic. All the info is out there and all it takes is one moment of your time to google Autism, believe me it will be worth your minute of research 9your heart will thank you!). I will continue this every monday through April. my goal is to not only help all of my friends become more enlightened by info about Autism, but also to move in your hearts such a worthy cause.

I also have the winner to last weeks RAK for my first sketch over at Bad Girls Kits.

Here are your random numbers:1
