HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY DOUBLE D! - AND GIVEAWAY!!!!

Dear Ones~
Happy New Year!!! WOW, 2022 went by fast! A new challenge is up over at Double D, and guess what, it's our BIRTHDAY. We are 7 years old now, and the challenge this time is anything BIRTHDAY related. Here is the Mood Board for our inspiration:
 
***In celebration of our 7th birthday I HAVE A GIVEAWAY***
Stay tuned until the end of this post and I'll give you the details!
 
Here's my Card:
This card was so much fun to make! It's actually an embossing folder and matching stencil - that's it. So easy to do, and the image comes out beautifully!! I embossed the light blue card stock with the embossing folder, then lined up the stencils in the suggested order and used Gina K inks for the colors.

 
 The Ingredients:
GKD White Card Stock
Tim Holtz Gold Metallic Card Stock
Recollections Lite Blue Card Stock
Altenew Lush Garden Embossing Folder
Altenew Lush Garden Stencil Set
GKD Lilac Ink Cube Set
GKD Orchid Ink Cube Set
GKD Spruce Ink Cube Set
SU Peekaboo Peach Ink
Trinity Stamps Baubles
Stash Happy Birthday Die
Stickles
 
 
 
There are 4 prizes up for grabs for 4 lucky winners this time, since we are celebrating our birthday. If you play along, just look at what you could win! The winners are chosen randomly:
 





 
AND NOW FOR MY GIVEAWAY
I have a huge box of goodies to give away to one lucky person in celebration of our 7th Birthday. To win, all you have to do is leave a comment. HOWEVER - you must leave your email address so that I can get in touch with you. If you do not leave your email address there will be no way for me to get your mailing address - makes sense??? I have lots of stuff I'm giving away, so you really should leave a comment. Unfortunately, due to mailing costs, I will not be able to send outside the US. I'm sorry!!  I will announce the winner in my next Double D Blog post on January 18th, so make sure and tune in to see if you won.
 
My wish for you in 2023 is that you find peace and contentment in wherever life takes you.  I hope you had a lovely holiday,  and don't forget to check out Double D.  
 
 Until next time dear readers, aspire to be inspired, and here's celebrating your Creative Muse!!

  8. I've been wanting to get a couple 3D folders and I've looked several times, ready to buy. But I get overwhelmed and can't see what folders look like. Hard to see pic of white plastic. This is beautiful.
