Chocolate Baroque blog candy giveaway!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you've all had the most glorious weekend.  Mine has been a lovely one from the fabulous sunshine which we have had all weekend to a wonderful day at Alexandra Palace with my three lovely crafting buddies followed by another special day today shared with my son and his family.  What could be better?

Well, I don't know about better but something special is also going on over on the Chocolate Baroque Design Team Blog.  Glenda is giving away a set of each of the newly released stamps.

Doodle Butterflies

Doodle Birds

Butterfly Dreams

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning one of these beauties is leave a comment on the DT blog and if you want to increase your chances leave me a comment here and also visit the other DT members to leave comments on their wonderful creations made with these gorgeous new stamps.  Throughout the following week we will all be posting some of our projects made with the new stamp sets both on our own blogs and on the DT blog.  I have to say I love these new stamps and they are already amongst my favourites.  Winners will be chosen at random and the more blog posts you leave a comment on the greater your chances and the draw will take place on Friday, 15th April 2011.

This is the second of my makes.

I used the Joseph's coat technique for the squares on this card and these stamps are perfect for it.  In fact, they lend themselves equally well for many popular techniques as you will see if you visit my lovely team mates' blogs.  Links to the DT blog, the Chocolate Baroque website and the busy and very friendly CB social site are all in my sidebar.

I did say last week that I would let you know how my search for The Wedding Outfit progressed.  Well, I am extremely happy and relieved to tell you that I found just what I was looking for last Monday.  I am still quite shocked by how much I spent, especially on the shoes and bag but they are fabulous and I'll only be Mother of the Bride once so what the heck, lol!  I'll let you know where I found my outfit, etc., including a web site when I do The Wedding Post  at the end of May but if anyone is struggling as I was to find just what they want drop me a line or mention it in a comment and I'll let you have it before then so you can go take a look.

Right my lovely visitors,  it's veeeerrrrryyyyyy late and I am fairly shattered (er, that's the polite term, lol) so until next time, take care and I hope this week treats you all kindly.

Love and Hugs

Fabulous New Stamps from Chocolate Baroque.

Wow, another post from me in 24 hours.  That doesn't happen often, lol!

Now that the new Chocolate Baroque website has been launched myself and my lovely DT buddies can start to show you some of the cards and other projects we've had the pleasure of making with the lovely new stamps which have been released with the launch.

This is the first one from me

 The background of the tag was made in a workshop I did with Glenda last year and I decided to use it with these lovely stamps. The bottom half of the tag has a slight texture from painting it with light texture paste. All the images used on this tag are from the newly released sets Doodle Birds - UA5SP0346 and Doodle Butterfly - UA5SP0347 except the word 'Dreams' which is from the Artisic Affirmations plate - UA4GW0343.  The colour of the sparkle EP on the acetate butterfly and acrylic tag is a bit misleading because irl it is very nearly the same colour as the ribbon.

I've now got to grips with the new social site and have uploaded lots of pics to the gallery.  It's becoming a very busy and interesting place to be so click on the button in my sidebar to go take a look and my DT buddies will be showing some of their projects over on the CB DT blog which you can also get to by clicking the relevant sidebar button.

Hope you all have something nice to look forward to for Sunday.  I'll be back again soon to show more CB projects and to let you know how I get on shopping for THE OUTFIT!!!!

Hugs
