Who Wants BLOG CANDY?!?

**This post will remain at the top until the Blog Candy Drawing on June 20th. Please scroll down for new posts**

Happy Friday night stampers!! I have a FAAAAAAAABULOUS treat for you here on my blog starting RIGHT NOW! You can probably guess from the post title {haha!} - I am still wiggling with excitement myself but I am going to try to calm down enough to give some info before I go back to jumping around and absolutely swooning over all these amazing products.

I have a lot of words today. I know, we are busy and it's hard to read them all. But in this case, you should. If you can't, then just read the ones that are bold or colored! It could REALLY pay off for you in the form of blog candy!! We all love that. This candy prize package has been *very generously* sponsored by the wonderful people at Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker. Take a look:

The company may be new to some of you, but having played with quite a few of their products over the last few weeks I can tell you that the quality you have here is extremely high. Nice, heavy-weight patterned papers in rich, vibrant colors and fabulously fun patterns. Excellent quality coordinating clear stamps, manufactured in the USA {no sticky acrylic or badly stamped images here!}. All of that plus a full line of 12x12 papers {I was working with the 6x6 pads, my favorite!}, chipboard albums, cardstock stickers, and several lines of embellishments including specialty buttons and brads. LOVE IT ALL!! Can I say that again?? Love love it. I do! Those who are regular blog followers know that I do NOT endorse products or retail shops that I don't personally use AND enjoy.

Right. But get back to the candy details Jen! I can do that! I received, as I said, a gorgeous box stuffed full of paper, stamps and embellishments from Lanie at
Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker. Thank you again Lanie! She included enough goodies for me AND for one of you, my awesome stampin' sistas! This prize includes the following:

-6x6 patterned paper paddies (3) - Bella Blue and Oscar Too, Dan the Record Man, & Will He B the 1
-Clear stamp sets (3) - Bella Blue and Oscar Too, Ellie's Day Out, & Dan the Record Man
-3 packages of Cardstock Stickers (1 of each pattern)
-3 packages of Burlap Buttons in Blue, Brown & Red
-1 package EACH of Warm and Cool Corduroy Brads
-1 package of Craft Flags
-1 package of Bread(less) Tabs

WOW!! Is it not a beautiful thing? The value on this is close to $100 retail! And how do you enter to win this colossal prize package? It's EASY! All you need to do is go over to the Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker website and take a quick look around. Then come back here and leave me a comment telling me your favorite Nikki Sivils item. It can be one of the paper patterns, a stamp set, one of their fun, cool, and unique sets of embellishments - whatever YOU like! There are no wrong answers. If you're anything like me, it'll only take you a few minutes to browse around and fall in love!

I'll even make it EASIER on you!
CLICK HERE to go directly to the Products page {opens in a new window}. That way you won't lose your place here on my blog because you NEED TO COMMENT HERE on this post to be entered to win!

One entry per person, just by telling me what you LOVE over at Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker. Easy peasy, that! Nothing else is required except to check back and see if you've won. But, now, if you are one of those fabulous girls who are so good about sharing candy posts with others out there in stamping land, I will give you TWO MORE entries into this yummy, yummy prize drawing for sharing my candy link and spreading the word! Just leave a second comment and let me know you've done so. Please note that this is NOT MANDATORY for entering the candy, but I do appreciate it, so I will reward you with a better chance to win!

This candy will remain open until Sunday, June 20th at 8 PM CST. I will draw the winner and post the results of the contest here on my blog! So go! Look! Daydream about all the shiny, fuzzy, bright, and pretty things. :) Don't forget to comment!

Now just in case you're looking for some inspiration to go along with your Friday night dreams of paper and stamps, I can help out! Once I got done drooling over all the beautiful papers, adorable images, and perfect embellies, I got to work stamping. This first one features the My Sweet Cherry Pie paper and stamps, plus one of those great corduroy brads (warm).

I decorated the inside! I don't do much of this but I COULD NOT resist with all these fun toys to play with! The inside of the above card also uses stamps from Will He B the 1:


Here's a sweet little baby announcement I made using the Willow Bee paper with Bella Blue and Oscar Too stamps and some of those great Burlap Buttons (I think these are my favorite product!):

This last one features the Flaming Butterfly paper and stamps:

Whew! Thanks for bearing with me! I hope you enjoy the samples, if there are questions about these products I'd be happy to answer them if I can, so fire away (by post comment or e-mail, whichever you'd like!). Of course, make sure to enter the candy drawing (again, all the products were donated by the FABULOUS Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker team!) and spread the word if you can! Check back here throughout the week as I will have lots more samples featuring these great products with (hopefully!) lots of ideas and inspiration. Have a GREAT weekend everyone!

90 people made my day!:
