I used Random.org to find out who wins the blog candy from our blog hop this past week.

The first winner is CHRISTINA W.  She wins the packet of designer papers, buttons, brads and ribbons.

Our grand prize winner is CARRIE K.  She wins the same as above PLUS a Stampin' Up! stamp set.

Congrats to these ladies and thanks again to EVERYONE who visited my blog and left such wonderful comments.

I had so much fun with our first blog.  We are going to do another one in the beginning of October, so don't miss it!!

Inky fingers y'all!!

TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS

OH HOW I LOVE SPRING - especially springtime in TEXAS.  The humidity is low and the weather is reasonably cool.  It is fabulous.  I have been working in my garden planting cilantro, tomatoes, tomatilloes, fennel (for the monarch butterflies) and some flowers like impatients and daisies.  Impatients should be my "signature" flower - because I SURE AM IMPATIENT!!  ha

Here is a fun card I tried after watching Valita's wonderful UTube videos on using punches unusually.  This tulip is made with mostly the OWL PUNCH which is then punched with the oval punch.  It was fun to make.  Please tell me what you think.  And for sure go to UTube to search Valita and watch her amazing videos on punches flowers.  She is Awesome!!
