I’m as stunned as you. I had no idea that I’d get to 400 posts, mostly daily, and still be going strong. But making cards is so much fun. Finding that I do actually have a creative side is quite a surprise. I bet you have one too. Even if you didn’t think that it existed. And it’s so much fun to let it out. Today especially since there’s blog candy on offer!

The last time that my sister was over, she introduced me to post it tape. Very cool stuff, and it sat in my bag. But yesterday when I was making cards, I decided to actually use it. Martin’s comment is that this is very Japanese. I don’t know. It’s definitely clean and simple. I put down some post it tape at random (although ensured that it was square with the edges) and then stamped the heart from Watercolor Words in real red at different angles on whisper white card. Then I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in real red also. I then mounted this on a real red card base. The envelope is embossed with the happy hearts TIEF to coordinate.

As I mentioned, this is my 400th post (wow!). So to celebrate, here’s some blog candy that one lucky commenter will win.

That’s an enormously popular stamp set from last year’s Sale-a-bration, Lotus Blossom, bermuda bay sequin trim (use it as a ribbon or take off single sequins) and the current happy heart TIEF and jewels basic rhinestones. A fun package. All you have to do for a chance to win is to comment and tell me what is your favourite item in the Occasionals catalogue (which includes the Sale-a-bration brochure). Since it’s my four hundredth post, I’ll give you four days. So comment by midnight Friday (EST). Sorry, you have to have a US shipping address to win.
