My 2000th post!

I'm so excited because this is my 2000th blog post!
I started my blog almost exactly nine years ago, on Dec. 30, 2005.

What began as a place to share photos and thoughts has become such a big

part of my life, seeing as I post almost daily.

I had to laugh as I reread my first post, because I expressed concern about

being able to keep up with it.... I guess 2000 posts confirms that I was able to do so! LOL!

To celebrate my 2000th post, I have a card to share -- and a give-away!

First up, the card.... which features two of my very favourite manufacturers that

I have the extreme pleasure of designing for: Reverse Confetti & Pretty Pink Posh.

(And these two manufacturers have also very generously agreed to sponsor my give-away!)

I have a fun "faux-shaker" card to say hello to my 2000th post &

to you, my wonderful blog readers....

I started by diecutting the largest circle from 

Circles 'n Scallops Confetti Cuts from the Tag Me, Too Confetti Cuts tag.

I stamped the diagonal stripe stamp from So Stripey onto the tag and 

onto my white card stock background.

I also stamped the sentiment (from In A Big Way) on the white card stock background and adhered some Pretty Pink Posh marshmallow, pink blush & pink peonies sequins and wooden stars.

I adhered my tag over top, using some dimensional adhesive.

I used the Fabulous Flaming Confetti Cuts to die cut the flamingo and 

then stamped it using the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set.

 

 

 

Now....  onto the give-aways....

I have three prizes to give-away:

1. a $15 gift certificate to Reverse Confetti (generously donated by Jen Del Muro)

2. a $25 gift certificate to Pretty Pink Posh (generously donated by Paulina Nakamura)
