a monkey journal & blogiversary candy!

monkey-journal-diane-zechman.jpgHi everyone!  I can’t believe that 1 year of blogging has passed by already!  To celebrate I made this journal with the C.C. Designs Summertime Fun and Sweet Treats sets.  I love the sentiment!  Life has it’s ups & downs but it sure can be sweet too! birthday-mouse.gif  Yes, I know…there’s too many candles on that cake!  LOL.  Hmmm…..that gets me in a baking mood.

I actually made 3 of these journals and I’m donating another one soon over at SCS.  More info. on that later.  I picked the journals and matching ribbon up at Michael’s a year or so ago and I’ve just pulled them out to alter them.  Sound familiar?  LOL.  I used the circle Nestabilities on them and the image was colored with Copic markers.

1-yr-blogiversary-diane-zechman.jpgI appreciate all of your comments and visits the past year, so I put together the blog candy shown here including the journal to say “thank you” for stopping by!  All you need to do is reply to this post and tell me what you enjoy about my blog, what you would like to see, or ask any questions that you might have.  I really appreciate the feedback!  I’ll use random.org to pick a winner on Monday. 

Journal deets:

stamps- Summertime Fun and Sweet Treats- C.C. Designs

paper- Choc. Chip, Saffron, Pixie, White

ink- Mustard, Black

accessories- ribbon, Circle Nestabilities, clip, silk flower, buttons, gel pen, glue dots, red line tape

Thanks for stopping by!

    What I like about you blog… that is not the question the question should be what I don’t like about your blog…. cause that is a much easier one to answer. The answer would be nothing!!!

    I love the welcome sign and I’m in the process of making one for my daughter.

    I have a file on my computer of cards that I want to make and I think just about everyone of your’s are in there.

    I love your style.

    I love your color combinations.

    About the only improvement that I would like is to see more postings!!

    Great job on your first year…. many more to come…

    Your cards are always so colorful and help give me ideas of what I’d like to do (and aspire to do)
    And I love cats, so whenever you include kitties, I love it even more!

    Your blog is just great. I find myself smiling as I look at your creations. I love your style. Your colors are always so vibrant. I’ve found alot of new stamps to order through so many companies. I love that since I’m from a small town and don’t see many new things. Your cards gives alot of ideas I could use for scrapbooking. I can’t wait to see what you will come up with next!!

    Hi Diane, congratulation to one year of blogging. I don’t know your blog for sooo long, but since we met us in the Stampavie DT I visit your blog regulary. So I found the cute stamps from C.C.-Design here and HAD to shop after I saw your so wonderful cute card (birthday parade) with the june stamps. I love that your cards are totally different than my cards and of course I’m happy to work together with you now. Let’s celebrate your one year of blogging!
    Hugs Jay Jay
