It's been WAAAY too long since I offered up any blog candy so here goes....
If you are a regular surfer of Stampin' Up! blogs, you may notice something different today....as of November 15th, we are allowed to sell our handmade items in permanent retail location including internet websites! What a great opportunity for all of us paper crafters! Of course it goes without saying that we must all still abide by the angel policy and make sure the Stampin' Up! trademark is on all of our projects :)
In the sidebar on the right I have listed a few of the items that I will be offering, more will be added as the weeks go on so check back often!
To enter on this blog candy, leave a comment on this thread and tell me what are some of the projects that you would like to see offered or what handmade items you'll be giving away for Christmas this year!
I'll leave the draw open until Sunday, November 18th at 9 pm. The winner will be announced by 10 pm!
And what does the winner get???
The winner will get to pick their very own Star Book from my blog, your choice, either the Secret garden book or the Creative license book!
Good Luck, I can't wait to hear your ideas!
Terri
And the winner is Janet B!! Janet writes:
"I am making quite a few things for christmas gifts. I'm making some altered clocks, some nugget tins, and probably an altered tin with an album inside it. That's all besides the cards. Can you tell I like altering items?"
I couldn't agree more janet, I love to alter things too! I'll email you get your mailing address so I can send you off your star book! Congratulations!


I love the star books but have never made one. I need to make an album for my son's wedding photos. I did make a library pocket book yesterday and need to make 20 more too. I just have no enthusiasm this week. Caffeine-thats the ticket!

Sweet candy. Just love your star books. I'm in the middle of moving, so making things this XMAS is going to be a little tough! I would like to make some gift card sets, candles, and some alter tins. Thanks for a chance at your sweet candy giveaway.

I am working on scrapbooks for my three grown daughters. One of these years, they will be completed and will give them to them at Christmas.

I am doing a lot of gift packaging this year, candles, and teen gifts. I love the holidays!

Ohhhh, I love the secret garden star book!!! I am giving away lots of birthday cards to my 93 year old grandma, and some explosion boxes to my mom and MIL. Thanks!

I hope to make a few flip albums that I will bind with the BIA...I have never made a star album, but it looks like a great thing to try!

Love your work. Thanks for sharing.

I have really enjoyed your blog. Just this week I purchased the Nestabilities and can't wait for them to arrive. In the meantime I am working on making my Christmas cards-all 75 of them.
Have a great day!

I love looking at all the projects on your blog. Your star book is simply gorgeous. Thank you for all the tutorials you have here for us to see :)

I would love to have one of your star books. They are beautiful! I would like to see unusual items for sale. Things I cannot make myself. I love anything altered.

I too was thrilled when I heard the news that we could sell our SU stamped cards, I did a little two step dance in the kitchen!!! I started in January making 12x12 scrapbooked albums for several people on my Christmas list. I completed 4 of them so far. I will also do up a decorated box of my handstamped cards for my friends. I am making a Christmas wreath for my sister(I used to be a floral designer until card making took over my life)

I am making tile coasters to give away this year and also made a couple of wall hangings out of chipboard coasters. It is so much fun to do these crafts. I would love to do some books but don't have a bind it all yet. That is on my Christmas list.
Thanks.

I am going to try to make some note books using my new (but as of yet unused) Bind-it-All.
Thanks for the blog candy! I enjoy reading your blog, you have some beautiful artwork!

I like to give gift baskets. I add a pack of all-occasion cards that I made, tied with a bow; a book; chocolates; gift cards; nuts; a couple pears & apples; and whatever else I know the receiver enjoys.

Thanks for the offer of blog candy, I will probably not win, but thanks for the offer. I am making my cards, guest place cards with a little treat, gift card holder and post it not holders. Our kids prefer money for Christmas so they can either pool it for a BIG gift or get a bunch of small things, so it makes each year a challenge for ideas to wrap cash.

Awesome blog candy! The star books look amazing!
For gifts I'm planning on making some of the nugget tins, some SU chipboard ornaments and some chipboard coaster calendars. We'll see if I manage to come up with the time!!
Thanks again for a chance at a great prize!

I hope to make some handstamped jewelry this year for the women in my family. For coworkers I will make some altered tins with hot cocoa mixes inside or nuggets. I'm hoping to have some more time to get working on all the ideas!
Posted by: Amy | November 17, 2007 at 11:31 AM
Hi Terri--can't wait to make my own star book. I think this Christmas will be fairly light on homemade gifts, other than the cards. Maybe I will do some of the lunchbox tins and clipboards--they're quick and easy! Hope to win the blog candy!

I'm new to your blog, but am loving what I see...I am making papertrey nugget tins, altered DVD tins with notepads, altered composition books and maybe a few more things? I love making homemade gifts.
