Dressed Up Framelits with Vintage Verses Gate Fold Card

Today I’m sharing a gate fold card that I created using the Dress Up Framelits Dies and the Vintage Verses Sale-a-bration stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  I’m far from the cutting edge of fashion, I’m pretty much a jeans and t-shirt person.  But this Framelits set makes it really easy for a jeans and t-shirt person to make a “dressy” dress card.

Springtime Everybunny and 100th Post Blog Candy!!

Wow, I talk a lot!!  Today is officially my 100th blog post.  To celebrate, I’m offering some blog candy!!  All that you need to do is leave a comment on this post by Saturday morning (February 16) about what your favorite Valentine Treat is and you’ll be entered to win.  Your favorite treats can be as simple as the conversation hearts or something more extravagant like mine, a huge dessert.  Anyone is welcome to leave a comment!

I have a huge sweet tooth so it’s a little hard for me to limit my favorite treat to just one, but if I had to pick I’d have to say that Jake’s Famous Chocolate Bag would probably top my list.  There is a restaurant here in Portland called Jake’s Famous Crawfish and they have a signature dessert that is a dark chocolate bag (the entire bag is edible dark chocolate, yummy!!) that they fill with white chocolate mousse and top with blueberries, raspberries and blackberries…oh my, is that good!  If you’re ever in Portland, it’s definitely worth the drive downtown to check it out.

Okay, enough about my favorite treat.  Since this is an extra special post, I thought I’d put some extra special blog candy up for grabs:

  • Simply Soft Clear Mount Stamp Set 
  • Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon
  • Certainly Celery 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon
  • Printed Designer Brads 2011-13 In Colors

Just leave a comment about your favorite Valentine Treat at the end of this post and you’ll be entered to win too!  I’ll draw a random winner from all of the comments left on this posting by Saturday morning.
