A Very Special Sunday Stamper - Week 150 - All You Need Is Love... & Candy

...Goodly Morning Stampers and a very happy Sunday to you all. So, I have been dropping hints about the special post today... and this is because it is my 1000th blog post! That is one serious amount of waffling from yours truly! And, it is also the 150th week of the Sunday Stamper challenge... and the very first challenge theme was LOVE so we are revisiting this theme this week... with a twist!




I would like to see your favourite products, techniques and designers on your entry this week... as well as adding in a lurve theme too if you want to :O)) As well as it being the 1000th post of waffle and the 150th week of song title-themed challenges, it is also high time to say a maaahooosive thank you to every one who joins in with the Sunday Stamper... so I have put together some yummy candy... all the deets about how to join in and how to win the candy will be at the end of this post :O))



So... LOVE... and the products, techniques, designers that I love. Well, that one is simples... namely Wendy Vecchi and Tim Holtz... over the years I have been heavily influenced and inspired by the gorgeous creations these two amazing designers have made, not to mention their brilliant products and stamp designs too. My favourite colour scheme has always been black and white/black and cream... and these Jenni Bowlin papers are right up my alley... adding in a bit of red for goodly measures.




I have had this project on the boil for weeks... nay and thrice, months even... it isn't a fluke that the 150th Sunday Stamper and the 1000th blog post coincided... I have been carely marking dates on the calendar and making sure that I have blogged on the right days... sometimes twice lol




The Printers Tray is by 7Gypsies and has been lurking in my stash for a while now, waiting for the special project and goodies that were needed to fill it up. I have been ever so patiently waiting for Art Parts, Idea-ology and more of the Jenni Bowlin papers to arrive and now seems the perfect time to put it all together. I have a space on "Hels' Wall" over the stairs ready and waiting for this Printers Tray to go (don't worry, I didn't do any drilling or banging in of nails, Grim did that for me already... ahem... I being of a dangerous disposition!!)




I used just a few inky products to add a bit of distressing to the papers; Vintage Photo DI and a sanding board worked well for the papers... the Art Parts were either coloured with Vintage Photo or Peeled Paint Distress Stains or covered with more of the Jenni Bowlin papers. I used Clearly For Art BlackOut, stamping Studio 490 images using either Gold StaZon or Snowcap Pigment ink.




So... I have put together some candy for one lucky winner... the candy consists of: Maya Road Chipboard goodies - house book, 4 keychain sets, mini flowers set, alterable box & Apple coaster book, as well as Maya Road Trimmings/ribbons, Trinket Pins and Felt Flowers. To go with these goodies is a BNIP Tim Holtz Ruler Book (rare indeedily) a pack of Tissue Tape, Ruler Ribbon, an alterable wooden birdy, 2 packs of my fave gemstones, a 2Crafty chippy frame, a tag chippy book, a pot of Croco and finally... a pot of my very favourite paint, Traditional Tan Studio Paint.



To join in with the challenge all you need to do is make a little something, include the theme and some rubberstamping, then pop here and leave me a linky to the place you are showing your entry... you will be automatically entered into the "hat" twice if you enter the challenge AND leave me a comment. If you just leave me a comment you will be entered once into the "hat". Finally, please take the piccie of the candy and display it in your sidebar, along with the link back to this post... phew, I think that is all the stuff you need to know... oh yes and... the winner will be drawn at random and announced on next Sunday's challenge. This weeks challenge will remain open until 21:00 Saturday April 23rd 2011. Right... that's all for today... I just want to say... THANK YOU to everyone who has joined in with and supported the Sunday Stamper and also left me the wonderful comments that has egged me on to make more stuff... here's to the next 1000 posts!!! Thanks for looking... TTFN!
