Using Stampin Up's New Framelet's Dies! and UPDATE TO BLOG CANDY GIVE AWAY!!!

Hi Hi Hi!!!

I am SO proud of myself for learning how to add videos to my You Tube Channel and now to my blog! YEAAAAA! So, since I am ALL about making some videos, I made a quick one about using these AWESOME new dies that will work with your Big Shot, or any other die cutting machine for that matter!
These new dies will be available starting January 1st and they are in the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog. They are called Framelet's. They "nest" inside one anther so you can enlarge and decrease the size of the item you want to die cut. The ones that I am using in my video are the Label's Collection.

(While watching my video, you should know that I asked HUBBY SANTA for a tripod for Christmas, lol)

There are other dies that are in the catalog, but these were the ones I wanted now!

Also, please don't forget to check out my Stampin' Up site! They still have A LOT of items that are going for 80% off!! Check out my post from last Thursday where I show you which punches I ordered!!! I know for a FACT that I ordered dups...I was rushing and wanted to be sure I got them at the discounted price! So, my loss is your gain! Keep checking back each day on my blog, cause I will be doing another blog giveaway!

And speaking of blog giveaway, HELLLLOOOO! I have an open blog contest! No one has entered it yet!!! I want to give things away!!! If by tomorrow I do not have anyone that entered a project into Mr. Linky, I will give the blog candy away to the first person that gets me 1 new follower! All that will have to be done is this:

1. YOU MUST BE A FOLLOWER
2. YOU MUST INVITE A FRIEND TO BECOME A FOLLOWER ON MY BLOG
3. HAVE YOUR FRIEND MAKE MENTION THAT THEY ARE A NEW FOLLOWER AND THAT YOU SENT THEM TO MY BLOG

That's all!!! I really want to give something away before I leave for vaca!!! Which, by the way, does not need to hurry any faster to get here! I'm already WAYYYYY behind on everything!

OK friends, that's all for me tonight!

Hope to find you all Craftin' and Stampin'

Cut file for NOEL Banner that I posted about on 12/2/2011 & CONTEST with BLOG CANDY!!!

Hi All!

I am REALLY trying to figure out new things that I can do on my Blog...Like, for example, I am going through all my saved cut files that I stored on my Gypsy and my CCR, and I saw the Cut file that I made for my NOEL wall hanging. I am thinking, "gosh, that would be nice to share"...but HOW TO SHARE is the question...So, lets see if I put up a link for my NOEL Banner what you all think of it! If you open it, and there is a problem, please let me know!

Now, the other thing I wanted to learn how to do on my blog, was how to host a contest that will actually WORK...lol! I haven't been having much luck so far, lol! Then, I had the brilliant idea to look at a MR LINKY account. And I sure did!

After all that is said, how about a fun CONTEST????

I will keep the contest open for 1 week, and I want to see what you create with my NOEL cut file. I took the color out of the ornaments, so all you have to do is put your own colors in, and I want to see how YOU put together your banner. I'm thinking some blog candy is in order, don't you????  How about 2 holiday stamps and some creative memories border paper???

Here's what you have to do to enter:
1. Be a follower
2. Upload your picture to Mr. Linky
3. Refer my page to a friend, and ask them to stop by my blog!
4. HAVE FUN!

Hope to find you all craftin and stampin!
