Raisin Boat Challenge - I'm a winner!

Oh my, I'm so excited.  I was browsing though the challenge blogs I post to and saw that I was announced a winner on Raisin Boat's Challenge #34: Graduation.  I'm seriously jazzed because I was able to pick out a free stamp set.  Wow!  It was a difficult choice, but I did pick one and they shipped it out right away.

They have a wide selection and a subscription program that would be a great way to sample stamps.  Check them out!  Also, if you're making cards or projects for the 4th of July, consider entering their Challenge #35 : USA.

Just a note:  this is not a sponsored post as I have no affiliation with Raisin Boat.  I'm used a pleased user passing on a Contagiously Crafty thing,

Ladies and Gentlemen- Brandy's a Winner Again!!

Just popping in today to post a happy congratulations to our one and only Brandy Miller.  She won the random drawing over at the Inspiration Journal blog for the July Monthly Challenge: Happy Birthday America and Other Birthday Celebrations.  Please join me in congratulating Brandy on this happy win.  

Though the win isn't based on her card perfection (it was a random drawing), I like to think that good things come to those who do good things.  The post A Heartfelt Birthday Wish was the honored entry.  I've included the card pic for easy reference below because its a winner to me!

Now, rush on over to the Inspiration Journal and join in the August challenge fun: My Summer Vacation.  It's all about travel and journeys.
