The Day After...

Well yesterday was a blast...all the way around. But first, I know you all want to know who won my blog candy. I had a very cute little assistant to help me with the drawing...

And she pulled out....

Congratulations, Lynda!!! Email me (snowchris_01@yahoo.com) your shipping info and I will pass it onto Unity so that they can get your stamp out to you.

I don't know if you noticed it in Friday's post, but I was pretty happy about all my swiss dotty paper that I created when Amy was here with her Cuttlebug. I showed it to DH all spread out and my photo of it. He noticed my pretty dots on my card that I loaded yesterday morning (after I proudly pointed them out.) I honestly was just really happy about them.

So yesterday afternoon DH came home with this...

He said that anything that made me that happy should be a tool that I own. Can you believe that?!?! OMG...what a guy and let me tell you, he had no idea what it even was. He went to Archivers asking for the thing that made the pressed dots. The wonderful lady there told him that they had a tool that did something similar, but what he wanted was the Cuttlebug and that he could get it across the street at Hobby Lobby...talk about customer service...WOW!!! (BTW, DH has already said that I get a gift card from there for Christmas because their customer service was so great...Yippee!!!) So, can you see the glare off my grin from where you are sitting?? I am so darn excited!!!

And now for the cards...with yesterday being World Cardmaking Day, I actually made cards...4 of them, in fact. I am only gonna share a couple of them today and then I will share the others tomorrow.

All of the cards were done for various SplitCoastStamper challenges. This first one was to CASE (lift) a card by SherryLc05. Here is the link to the card of hers that I lifted. And here is my card:

The challenge f0r this second card was to create a flower from nested circles. I still had all the papers out from the earlier card so I just used them again for this. Notice the gorgeously embossed section in the center thanks to my new Cuttlebug! ;o)
