My First Ever Blog Candy!

288 Comments

I’m not a blog candy kind of girl.  Meaning you won’t see me giving stuff away constantly in order to create traffic to my blog.  I would rather give you tutorials you can use.  But I stayed up way to late last night and I slept in this morning and find myself having two of these beautiful stamp sets Comfort & Peace from Gina K. Designs.  A gal only needs one set so the other one I am giving away as my first ever blog candy.  So leave a comment on this post telling me the things you would like to see in the future on my blog.  I will have my husband, Russ draw a random number tomorrow morning and that number will receive this set for free! 

Fair enough, I got to sleep in this morning and you have a chance at a beautiful free Gina K. Designs stamp set.

Hey, have a fabulous Friday!

Until my next post. . . . .

Michelle

    I love your tutorials! Your work is simply gorgeous. I would be interested in seeing Stampscape type scenes, if you have anything that would work. I am fairly new to your blog so I don’t know if you already have and I have missed it. I would also be interested in how you store all of your supplies and keep organized enough to do these great tutorials. Thank you for the opportunity for thr blog candy, that is a great set!

    I also just found your blog recently and I LOVE it. I am brayer-challenged and reading your tutorials make me feel like I can do this too…especially since I am a visual person and can see the step-by-step process. I’ll blow the dust off of my brayer one of these days, if I can tear myself away from the computer! I agree with the others that if you were going to add anything a video would be great, but the site is great just the way it is. Thanks for sharing your work!!!

    I’ve always wanted to learn brayering techniques and YOU have taught those to me. Thanks so much for that. I’d love to keep learning more from you! You’re a great teacher.

    Would love to win some candy as well! I love Gina K designs!

    You are the brayering queen. I have recently taken my brayer out of retirement because of you. Thanks. If you ever make any scrapbook pages, I’d love to see them.

    Wow…I was just eyeing this set today. I’m glad that you don’t give away blog candy as a routine jesture. Coming back for more inspiration and tutorials is far better than looking for free stuff. With that said, I’d LOVE to have this free stuff. 🙂

    Michelle, we all need to sleep in the morn. once in awhile. Yes, I’d rather have your
    tutorials anyday. The video would be super. I seem to get lines when I brayer, not all the time, but just when I want it to come out good, it’s ooops! Maybe you can give me a few pointers.

    Keep them coming. Love the tutorials and I too have got my hubby interested in looking. More help with getting the brayering without stripes and also how to get the wonderful colour blends you manage. Obviously have had lots of practice and have lots of colours to work with but skill and artistic flair in abundance.

    Michelle,

    Let me first say that I absolutely LOVE your work, how talented you are, AND that you’re so willing to share it with us! That is true talent…that you’re not so afraid to hoard the “know-how”….not that we could ever do as great as you, but… 🙂 To list something I would like to see in the future….I am truly drawing a blank. I have seen so many fabulous things that I have no idea what more to ask for! Except…hmmm….how do you make the brayer not have stripes? Maybe I missed something, LOL.

    I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win this set….I’ve been admiring it & WANTING it!!!
    Thank you for parting with one of yours!

    Keep all the fabulous work coming!

    Hey Michelle, it seems like all I can do when I refer to you and your art is … gush!
    You can’t improve on perfection so keep doing what you do so well… sharing your art, talent, techniques and even giving us a glimpse of your studio.
    Love everything you do!!

    Hi Michelle,

    I’ve followed you since you just had a gallery on SCS and I was so happy you started your blog. It’s the first blog I hit everyday just to see what’s new. You’re a fabulous teacher and a wonderful artist. I’ve been enspired to give some of your ideas a try.
    I couldn’t even begin to tell you want to teach next. I’m just so happy to see what great ideas you come up with.

    Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us all.

    Michelle, I love your blog and look at the feeds religiously everyday. A day without Michelle is like a day without sunshine. Your cards and ideas are fantastic and you have taught me so much with your step by step tutorials. I’ve pulled my brayer out of the drawer and have been using it again. So far, I made two cards from your tutorials (the one with the flowers and butterfly on a transparency and the other was the horse with the daisies) and I will be making more. I showed one of co-workers the flower and butterfly card and she bought it in a flash to use as her Mother’s Day card. It’s hard to improve something that is perfect, but I would love some videos. Also, maybe an section on frequently asked questions where it would be easier to look for answers to questions that we probably all have like how to clean your versa mark pen and what do you do to soften the horizon lines. Any information on basic must haves re color inks, brayers etc… would be great too. Thanks for this great opportunity and sharing your talent with us.

    I look forward to each of your tutorials. They are fantastic!!!!!! The only thing that could possibly be any better would be a video tutorial. While sometimes the music is nice, I usually end up turning the sound off. I would really rather listen to the voice of the instructor. I have learned so much from your lessons (my cards still don’t look nearly as good as yours—but part of the fun is practicing!) Thanks for all you are doing for the stamping community.
