Crafty Ho Challenge...I missed this though!

Some of you might know me from Splitcoaststampers as one of the HOs. We stamp HOs are a very proud group and we get together at least once a year (if not more!) to stamp and chat about anything and everything! For this year's Ho Convention, I am co-hosting the event along with my very good friend 'Basket Case Ho'.

We are doing a bunch of things to make this year another fun and fab time, but things are sseriously skipping my mind this week. So I'd like to take this time to apologize to all of my reader's my DT friends, the designers who count on me, as well as my regular followers for being more than a bit absent-minded right now! Things are hectic, but I do still endeavor to do my best!

Unfortunately, one of the things that I forgot was my Ho Blog post on Sunday. I did make an apropro project for the challenge, but totally forgot to post here about it! So here is my card for the Crafty Ho Challenge! I hope you like it and will head over to the Ho Blog to play along!

This coming Sunday, I will be on Ho Hiatus so I will not be posting for the Crafty Ho's. Rest assured though, I will definitely be back and ready to play the following Sunday! So be on the lookout for me and all of my other Ho's! Be sure to honk if you come by our corner too!

This card features a Penguin Digi Image courtesy of Bugaboo Stamps, as well as portion of the generous Scrapbook page kit provided by Queen Scraps for the PIO DT.

Freebie Friday at Bugaboo Stamps

WOOHOO! We made it to FRIDAY!! I love Fridays - not just because they start the weekend, but especially because FRIDAY is the day that BUGABOO STAMPS has a freebie in the BUG SHOP! They offer a stamp (usually from a newly release line!) for free just so YOU can nab one to try! Tell me that isn't an AWESOME reason to love Friday!

My card below features one of the cuties from the newest stamp line at Bugaboo Stamps today - Summertime Butterfly Bears. What a sweet treat this butterfly bear is on his own, but his ice cream cone makes him even better! Wait'll you see the others! They're gonna knock your socks off! Go check them out as they become available this afternoon in the BUG SHOP!

oops! I forgot!

This has been an incredibly hectic two weeks here in my Big-Scrappy-World! I've had family visiting, been out of town for a wedding, my husbands been on vacation, as well as covering the DT duties for my 7 DT's (as best as I can - I apologise to my co-DT friends!). I also have a toddler! That would be more than enough, but those of you who know me may also know that I'm also hosting the 'HPC' - a stamping convention for stampers I've 'met' (or in most cases met IRL!) through Splitcoaststampers. That said, a few things have fallen by the wayside and were temporarily forgotten!

A few weeks back I mentioned a tasty bit of Blog Candy I was offering since I'm feeling the love from my followers! I was supposed to post the winner on Monday, but although I chose a winner, I forgot to post about it! So...without further ado - the winner of my yummy Blog Candy is:

LING - Vera W. Yates

Ling, please get in touch with me by July 22nd, 2010, so I may send your blog candy out to you post haste! Simply add a comment to this post to claim your prize. I will add a picture of the blog candy once Ling has claimed her prize, or redraw a winner if it is unclaimed. Thanks to you all for your patience!

Scrappy

Don't forget...

There is a great challenge still open at KAH-wink-E-dink! The theme is Summer Sports. Easy Peasy right? Head over there and check it out!

My card below features KWED's Peyton - times two! this card is perfect for the Summer Sports challenge (although as a DT member I am ineligible to win), and I thought they'd be cute for a birthday card for a pool party too! :) Hope you like my card! :)
