Blog Candy & Friends Cards

Hello again, and it's dark at my house. I have not finished a card of my own to share, but I did manage to get a photo of the starting blog candy. And I'll share a few more of the pretty cards we got from some of you lovely people.

I worked with photoshop to create a collage & started off with 2 of the items I plan to offer as candy when I reach 200 followers. On different posts, I will attempt to add another item (or maybe two!) to the candy collage. There will be several items, including some dies. This collage business will be another learning curve for Moi. I may have to chuck this idea, and just post a picture to stay on top of the blog posts...we'll see. Come along for the ride.

 

OK...I'm thinking about having the winner comment each day that I post something new to the collage, then I'll keep a list of those blogger comments & assign a number by the person's name . IF you are a follower, and you check in regularly, then you will be in the running. Sound fair? I'm open to suggestions, and so far these are just my thoughts on how I'd like to do this.


As I stated before, to have 200 followers is a REAL BIG DEAL to me! (Yes I am shouting!) Now for some of you who follow in Bloglovin, if you would like to get considered, I need to add your names to my spreadsheet, 'cuz that's how I correlate your names to the Random Generator number thing-y...so please...if you don't see your 'face' in the pictures at the top of this blog, add it there! (sorry for my ignorance causing inconvenience). Also I'd like to be sure I have all my followers with their blog link in my spreadsheet, and I'm missing a few. Will try to correct this.

Now some more cards:

Evelyn's Card


Hazel's Card
Thank you so much to Evelyn & Hazel for these beautiful cards which brought us so much pleasure. Maybe I'll get that card done tonight...so G'night. Hugs.

  3. Nice cards! I remember being so excited when I got my first follower! 200 would be a big deal! Dio wants you to know he is following your blog too but he doesn't have his own blog or profile.. and he makes a much better door than a window.

  15. Glad you had a lovely Christmas and New Year Mary, and so nice of you to give away candy when you reach 200. You have had some really lovely cards given to you, so great to see them here. Your idea sounds great with the collage and the draw from comments made, as long as you are comfortable with it Mary, whatever is easiest for you.
