We Have A Winner!!

Good morning everyone!

I's an exciting day! The day I choose a winner of my giveaway! I went to random.org and figured out how to use the random generator to pick a winner. There were 143 comments. The generator chose comment number 99. I just wish I could figure out how to show it to you here on my post. I tried several times, different ways, but I can't get it to work! So, Hopefully you can trust me that it is correct!

Comment number 99 is Karen, who said this:

Hi there,

I have a few things to share with you today. I have a card to show you, but first I want to let you know that you have one more day to enter my giveaway. Click here for that. I will be choosing a random winner on Monday morning, Jan. 23, so stop back then to see if you're the lucky one.

Next, I'd like to thank everyone so much for all the wonderful comments and messages I've received for my news on becoming a member of the Lily Pad Cards design team. It warms my heart to have all that amazing support! Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

I also wanted to let you know that I have been sick the last few days. I've come down with another cold, and this time it's accompanied by a fever. Not feeling much like creating or visiting blogs. I don't even feel much like hanging out on Flickr, which I usually LOVE to do. Hopefully, I will be feeling better soon, and getting back into the swing of things.

So the card I have to share today is from the CAS online card class. I've lost track of days, but I think this one is for day 9. Our amazing teachers showed us how cool it is to use colored pencils on black cardstock.


I took out an old favorite stamp from Hero Arts called, Wallpaper Flowers, stamped it in white, and used Prisma colored pencils. I decided the colors didn't pop enough, so I added some white highlights. I also stamped it a few more times, colored the flowers and cut them out to place on the edge of the card.

Thanks for coming by today - I so appreciate it! Happy weekend to everyone!
