Winning and Hauls!

I should have posted these photos last month.  I am finally getting around to it with all the family in from out of town and those events...life is busy.  This first photo is from the Duveneck 49th memorial annual art show where I won 2nd place in Graphic Arts.  It has been several years since I was in an art show, I was very pleased.  Although, I may be too old and tired for these anymore.  It was so hot and dirty.  I used to do this 20-30 weekends per year!  How did I do it?

Next I have some photos of blog candy I have recently won.  I want to say thank you to each and every blog!

This first stamp set is from the Fairytale challenge blog which I can't seem to link right now.  

This next photo was from Little Acres Creations where I won my choice of two sets and the inker during a blog hop.  I can't wait to play with these adorable stamps.

This is another blog hop win from Georgiana at Carson's Cricut Creations.  

And another blog hop win! I can't remember where this one came from, I have searched my emails and just can't find it.  If you know, please let me know so I can give proper credit. 

Now some of my recent hauls...I purchased a Cricut cart from Close to My Heart when they were on sale recently.

I got suckered into HSN craft day again...

This lady just makes it all looks so easy...lol!

And close ups of these awesome sets!  I really can't wait to play but I have a feeling these will be time consuming projects.

the chair...

the birthday cake...

the house...

and don't you know I signed up for the auto ship!  I will share the next shipment when it arrives and hopefully some projects before...

I hope you enjoyed my catch up on some of the great and awesome items I have recently acquired.  

Thank you for checking out today's post.

Wednesday Winner and We R Hip Hip Hooray Birthday cards

Welcome to Wednesday and Winners!  But first to finish off all the birthday celebrations I have a couple of festive birthday cards.  The first is a CASE from the NSD celebration at The ScrapBook blessings Club Facebook group.

I thought the punch out was too cute, unfortunately the punch I was using broke.  ugh!  It was the Stampin Up scallop square and it is so old they don't make it anymore.  I hate that I have matching stamps for it and no punch!  So anyway, I had to find a punch that was larger than the scallop square and that was this 2" round.  I made the dots with a pencil eraser.

The second card was also a challenge.  I can't remember the details, but I think it turned out cute!

Ingredients:

We R Hip Hip Hooray papers

Creative Memories punch and border punch

Stampin Up label punch

American Crafts twine

asst brads

misc card stock and inks

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:

The Paper Loft Gear Head Get Well Card and Wednesday Winner!!!

This is a card I made for a friend in the hospital.  He is a truck driver. I used a gear punch with The Paper Loft Gear Head collection of papers.  I first ran the brown card stock card through the Big Shot with a Tim Holtz movers and shapers magnetic die of a truck.  Then I put some pretty gear paper behind the truck.  The stamps are an alpha set I purchased off HSN.  I believe they are a "typewriter" font...I have used them for several masculine cards.  They snap together and include letters, numbers and icons.

Easy, cute, and a great masculine card! Sorry for the poor pictures, but I made it in a hurry and quickly snapped pics on the way to the hospital.  He is out and recovering nicely.

Inside.  I used a Kiwi Lane template.

Drumroll please....
Finally, the winner of my blog candy from the Kiwi Lane blog hop is.....

Wednesday Winner!!!

The winner of the Moma Mia Blog Hop is Angela C!!!  Congratulations Angela!  You are going to love these inks!! I took these to my crop this past weekend and they provided a lot of colors in a small space but not chalk, juicy pigment ink!  Please email me at goldengoddessdesigns at gmail with you address so I can ship them to you!

I have several other prize packages to giveaway this month so see my Two Year Blog Anniversary page to get the details!

I was also a winner this past weekend at the Duveneck Memorial Art Show in Covington, KY.  I won second place in graphics!  Not for this card in the picture but my entire body of paper work (mostly cards).  I do try to combine some paper and jewelry like the Alice in Wonderland pendants  I posted last week.  Last year I won third in Fine Arts for my jewelry.  It is only a small show on the river overlooking downtown Cincinnati featuring 60 artists.  But here are some other works found at the show:

This piece was called Aging Green Man and my picture does not do it justice!

This guy was named Christian (so sorry I forgot his last name) but he won the Amos Shinkle award and the Vox Populi award.  This painting was awesome!  As you can see I had some stiff competition.

Thanks very much for reading today and check out my giveaways this month!!
