WINNER WINNER! Blogiversary Grand Prize!

Thank you so much to everyone who helped celebrate my big Blogiversary event.  I especially would like to thank We R Memory Keepers and American Crafts for donating the Fuse, and Carri at DoubleClick Skittles for donating the fun bubble embellishment set.

Special acknowledgement goes to some of the companies who make the other favorite things I'm giving away:  ADORNit, May Arts Ribbon, Tombow, Unity Stamps

If you've been getting notifications from my Event page on Facebook, then you know my outline for choosing a winner, from all comments left on the blogiversary posts, at all my social media sites, and those who left hashtag #wavingmywandblog .  I've used random.org to select the winner and that is #119 who actually commented over on the week one post of my Instagram page.

Congratulations to:

#119 Justyolie

She will receive the We R Memory Keepers brand new Fuse, a trio pack of DoubleClick Skittles bubble embellishments, a grab bag of Unity Stamps, 5 yards of May Arts Ribbon from my personal stash, a brand new set of Tombow Dual Brush markers (Bright Collection) and a selection of Adornit Art Play Paintables.

Thank you everyone for celebrating with me.  I wish I could really express my gratitude and give every one of you a prize.  A thank you and a universal hug will have to do!

It's Week One of my Blogiversary! Join the Party!

Woo-Hoo!  Yes, indeed, it's party time here in my little bloggy corner of the world.  So much has happened since I started blogging just a couple very short years ago.  Of course, I have to share my good fortune and joy with all of you, right?  

I've given a lot of thought on how I wanted to celebrate; not just one week, not two weeks, but the WHOLE ENTIRE MONTH!  I mean, why not?  

So this is how it's going to work.  Because truth be told, I'm kind of winging it, haha.  Hey, I haven't put on a big bash like this before, so...... you all can wing it with me!

What's for sure?

1.  THE GRAND PRIZE PACKAGE!!

I'm giving away some of my favorite things and every week, with your help, I'll add another prize to the grand prize package which includes:

We R Memory Keepers Fuse Heat tool

Yup, that's a done deal.  It's one of my favorite crafty toys, and a favorite among a lot of my crafty friends.  Want to know what to do with this fun tool?  Check out this link at the WRMK blog with lots of fuse inspiration:

https://wermemorykeepers.wordpress.com/tag/photo-sleeve-fuse/

I may share some of my own fuse projects throughout the month as well.  While you're at it, hop on over to the We R Memory Keepers Facebook page and thank them for sponsoring Waving My Wand's Blogiversary!

2.I'll be giving away a weekly prize as well.  Little packages that might have ink, paper, ribbons... 

you get the idea.

3.  Help me complete a weekly goal/challenge, and I'll add another one of my favorite things to the Grand Prize package.  What is it?  I can't tell you until the goal is complete but you'll like it, trust me.

WEEK ONE CHALLENGE:

Help me get to 1000 Instagram followers.

I'm almost there, so it shouldn't be too hard.  Go to:

Christmas Log Cabin with Jenn Shurkus

Have you heard the news?  Jenn Shurkus, long time craft blogger, is having her 10th Blogiversary!  It's a month long party and you can check it out right here:

Jenn Shurkus 10th Blogiversary

Of course, I'm all about helping my crafty peers celebrate those milestones so I'm joining the party by casing one of her cards.  Look through her archives, find a card you like and CASE it, then link it up to her blog post above via the InLinkz feature.

(Shameless plug.... I'm having a blogiversary celebration next month, so tune in! facebook.com/wavingmywand )

I chose one of Jenn's cards from December 2008.  The story sold me.  

I love the story behind her card.  I used similar colors and a similar layout to her original card below.

And this is Jenn's card.  You can read the story behind it here.  

Jenn Shurkus Log Cabin

I didn't have any small cabin stamps or houses that were suitable, so I chose this larger house from an Avocado Arts set called Gingerbread Goodness.  Yes, it's really the base for a Gingerbread House!

I started with
We R Memory Keepers - Shine Collection - 12 x 12 Paper Pad - $9.34

from: Scrapbook.com 

 I trimmed and scored a 5"x5.75" card and a coordinating piece of trim from the Shine pad, using my WRMK trimmer/scorer.  The house was colored on white American Crafts cardstock with Tombow Dual brush pens.  Ranger Glossy Accents and Doodlebug Designs Glitter make the roof sparkle and lots of Rangers Stickles glitter glue for little twinkling lights and also for the door and snow.

I used a Marvy Snow Marker for the snow and then once it was heated and puffed up, painted it with Ranger Picket Fence dabber and covered with Stickles White Lace glitter glue.  May Arts Ribbon red/white 2mm bakers twine finishes off this sweet card.

This was so fun to make.  Hope you like it Jenn!  Thanks for the inspiration and congratulations on your 10th year!

Additional Supplies: Ranger Brushed Corduroy distress ink, Ranger blending tool, white gel pen, Ranger liquid pearl Platinum Pearl, Bazzill vellum (for the smoke from chimney"), Tombow foam squares

Blogiversary Giveaway! Let's Party!

A lot has happened in a year and just this week, I'm celebrating several milestones with Waving My Wand; 10,000 page views and 200 posts.  Plus my 1 year anniversary is coming up in a couple weeks, so it's time to give away a prize!

In the past year, not only have I grown as a crafter, but I joined a couple of cool chics and formed Mountain Plains Crafters, a fun place to hang out, enter challenges and win prizes.  If you told me a year ago that I would be the guest blogger at the Craft and Hobby Association's Inaugural Papercrafters trade show in Atlanta, (coming up July 29-31st) I'd say you were out of your mind.  To say this has been a great year, is putting it mildly.

I'm giving a prize pack of some of my favorite things:  Unity stamps, Prima enamel dots, My Minds Eye Flair 6 x 6 paper pad, American Craft ric rac ribbon and the newest issue of Papercraft and Scrapbook Magazine's Creative Spaces issue, jam packed with ways to inspire you in creating your crafty domain.  This prize pack retails for $40.00.
