Ooooh THE DISAPPOINTMENT AND SADNESS!

Hi everyone, normally I would not post something like this but, I was taught that right is right and wrong is wrong and besides, I think it's a very bad thing for others to take advantage of ones weakness for blog candy, take of their time, effort and creativity! If you keep up with my blog, you'll remember a while back in Oct. I won some blog candy from a blog site entitled SCRAPPIN' TILL THE COWS COME HOME. Well, as sad as I am to have to tell you, I will say that I've never received my blog candy from the woman that runs that site! I've had numerous email communications with her and she says she sent it after finding it in the back of her car buried under some other items! I've assured her that I've not received it and perhaps she should contact her post office to run a trace on it but she won't respond to my emails any more. I don't have to tell you that I waited with such anticipation for that package! I couldn't have been more excited for myself and those I intended on sharing it with! As it stands, I have no blog candy and nothing of that sort to share  (saddest frown). So the moral of this story is... Be Wary of blog sites with the above title, they may disappoint you some way, some how! By the way, I also apologized for complaining about the length of time it had been if she had put it in the mail. Personally, if I had mailed a package to someone and after 2 months or more they still didn't have it (even coming from Europe area), I'd have the local post office send a tracer out on it. I can't even do it on my end, because I have no idea where it's coming from! Well, All Is Fair In Love & War, Cards & Blog Candy I guess!
Thanks for stopping by!

PS. Blog Candy is not YOURS until you have it in your possession! I've been scarred for life!

 THIS IS THE BLOG CANDY

THIS IS THE OPERATOR OF THE SITE

AGAIN, FOR THE MEN!

Please remember that my goals for these cards were as follows:

1. Easily mailed needing no extra postage 
2. The use of the older items in my stash, mostly stickers, cut-outs& punch-outs 
3. All "MAN" and able to translate over to the many different facets of men in our lives 
4. Pretty simple layouts / designs, but still pleasing to the eye  
5. Masculine and not too flashy but with some still appealing to the blingy type of man 

I think what brought on this project was the fact that I found myself constantly and purposely overlooking all of the many stickers I had in my stash! Most of which I accumulated while avidly scrapbooking. I had so many categories and images left over once said memory albums were finished (and we all know STICKERS DO HAVE A SHELF LIFE!!!) that I knew I would have to do something with them. When I first got into card making, thanks to my sister bringing me "Over To The Dark Side", as we affectionately call it (smile), I started, naturally, using my stickers. That's what I knew, but then things in the card world began to change and they changed so very rapidly that my stickers got shelved for all of the cutsie brads, rub-ons, gooey, gluey glitter (try saying that 3 X fast), and all of the other really cool dimensional items like Jolee's, K&Company etc. Now, years later, and I do mean years later, here I am back to where I began! Take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping and sharing some of your time with me today. Have a Great One!

 This card is the same layout at the blue one in the last post.

 This card has the plaid vellum, pre-stamped paper disc, the faux brads and a Wallie I actually purchased with the intention of using it on a card. Those of you that don't know, a Wallie is really a type of decal made for a wall! They would normally go on the wall either like wallpaper or contact paper. I told you nothing is sacred any more! LOL!

 Okay ladies now, this is NOT  a butterfly! It's actually a moth. How can one tell you say? Well, you must look at the antenna the body and the coloring. The antenna are fuzzy, the body is bigger and fuzzier and the color is normally not as vibrant as a butterfly. This is a Fresh Cut, remember those???

 Faux brads, vellum plaid, stamped sentiment and a cut-out

 same items as directly above card.

 This card actually has silver glitter pen accents within the tag but they didn't photograph well. The tag is an old cut-out and that is a REAL brad by the way! LOL!

 An old tag cut-out, real brad holding a metal tag that says LAUGH, a rhinestone at bottom with a drawn grounding line.
