OCL Blog Hop and Blog Candy with a Card Thrown in for Good Measure!

Our Craft Lounge is celebrating their Fall line of stamps and have included me along for the ride! Wanna know the best part? I get to play with their stamps AND I get to give away this wonderful "Shop til ya flop" set!

I know what your thinking...OCL is releasing 31 new sets and they are only giving away 1? (Ok, so maybe your not thinking that but it makes for good reading!) Not so! The girls over at OCL are generously giving away one of each 31 sets!! Yay! Free rubber (ahem, or acrylic)!!!

Here are your rules:

• Leave me a comment at the end of this post with your contact information *this is very important because I have to report who the winner is to the OCL gang by a certain time*
• IF there is no contact information left, I will re-draw another winner
• The blog candy is open today until 6PM (pacific time) on August 9th
• Feel free to enter all of the Blog Candies from the list below *but* you will only be able to win one set. If by chance your name is drawn twice then you will get to pick the set of your preference.
• I will announce the winner here on my blog on August 9th and all the winners will be announced on the OCL blog on the same date.
  

And here is where you will find other wonderful sets:

Now, do you wanna see what I did with this fabulous set? I made Granny extra fablous and went a little crazy with some stickles...well, maybe extrememly crazy with said glitter glue! Granny's hat, shoes, jewllery, buttons, and flower centers all have sparkles...um so does all the wild wasabi matting...and...maybe just a few more sprinkles on the flower punches. Hee hee :)




So this Granny Fashionista is sporting prisma colour pencil crayon and gamsol everything! She chose her favourite minty green knit sweater and decided to punch up her ensemble with a lovely floral print dress in shades of citrus. I think we can all agree that Granny is somewhat of a trendsetter, expertly choosing shades that highlight her blue tinged locks of hair. *grin*




I *may* have been a little indescisive on the shape that I wanted for the main image, so that's why you see this rather unique tag-ish shape expertly made by me :) I was determinded to keep this mishap because I spent the time colouring it before cutting it out (big mistake on colouring it before hand!) Lesson learned! lol
