I will be flying out tomorrow morning to teach my Brayer workshops in Colleyville, Texas, Woohoo!  I hope those Texans are ready to get down to do some brayering.  Ready or not, here I come.  🙂

***********************************************************

I didn’t want to leave without putting up some blog candy for you.

This week I have a highly sot after Stampin’ Up! Stamp set for you, Branch Out.  This set is now retired.  I love, love, love this set and have used it in so many card tutorials.

Along with the stamp set I am giving away a card that features one of the Branch Out stamps.  This card is an original card designed and made by me.  Don’t get to excited about that card, lol. 

To enter the Blog Candy contest, please leave a comment at the bottom of this post telling me to enter you.   If you are getting this blog update via e-mail, please click on this link and then leave your comment:   CLICK HERE

I will select the winner upon my return on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 using a random number generator. 

Good Luck!

May your weekend be filled with Joy and Laughter.  🙂 

Until my next post. . . . .  . . . .

Huge Hugs,

Michelle

    Michele — I already have this set so I won’t decrease the odds for others by adding myself into the running, but I was wondering if you have a tutorial for that card!? It is so lovely! I could probably (hopefully!) figure it out (kind of) if you don’t. Was just hoping you may. Thank you again for your lovely work.
    On a different topic, I’ve been trying to figure out whether I could host a workshop at my church next year. I will hopefully find out soon and let you know.
    Cheers,
    Emily

    Michele, I found your website today and absolutely love your cards! I am very, very new to this craft (my other crafts are machine quilting and machine embroidery) and am always looking for tutorials. I will definitely be reading your website from now on.

    Please enter my name for the stamp set you are giving away. It is one that I believe I could use for a number of projects. Oh, the possibilities!

    thx,
    Kim

    Hi Michelle,

    Hope you have a great weekend in TX!!! I also have this set – and love it! But, I would really like to win it to give to my sister, who doesn’t have it, and who lives 1000 mi away from me – too far away to borrow mine!

    Thanks so much,
    Melanie

    Oh, please add me to the contest entrants! I missed purchasing this set & have regretted it ever since… I love your card – the colors are fantastic! Hope you have a great time in TX (I live about 2 1/2 hrs. away from Colleyville, but couldn’t attend). Hope I will be able to some day.

I hope to someday see you’re coming to teach a class in the northeast – I find your artwork to be so beautiful and inspiring, and it is so good of you to share the tutorials with those of us less talented! (smile)

    Thank you.

    Hi Michelle!

    I’ve just recently discovered you for the first time and I am in AWE over your creativity and artistic ability. Your cards are AMAZING! I’m so inspired by the colors and texture. I will be using some of your techniques in an upcoming workshop I’m demonstrating for. The girls are going to LOVE you! 🙂

    Please enter me in your contest, I would love to own this stamp set. I could kick myself for not buying it last year! Thank you for the opportunity to enter!

    I keep kicking myself for not ordering that set before it retired. I’m secretly hoping that it’s coming back in the next catalog as an unmounted option.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    I WANT THE CARD!… okay what I actually want is you… to come to Canada (specifically Calgary) to do a workshop… I absolutely love your cards & would love to be in one of your workshops…!

    But as I already have this stamp set (I just need to actually use it! LOL) I’ll pass on the blog candy to someone else who doesn’t have the set yet… I just had to let you know how much I love your creations!

    Hugs, Treena
