A little this, a little that and a winner!

Hi everyone!  A lot has been going on these last couple weeks that I haven't had a chance to share with you.  Busy busy here in the Woerner house, so I'll get right to it!

I am happy to announce that I was invited to be back on the CardMaker magazine blog team!  woohoo!  This is my second term -you may remember I was on the team last year for a term- and I am excited to be back.  My first post went up on the CardMaker blog while I was on vacation.  Here is the link and a snippet of my project -which was a tutorial on embossing 2 ways.  Check it out!
Next, while I was on the Spellbinders retreat I posted a video focusing on my favorite way to form roses from the Bitty Blossoms dies on a layout.  You can check out the video here and here is a snippet from the layout.
I am up on the Spellbinders blog today with a tutorial on how I make accordion flowers from the Tear Drop Circles dies.  Check it out!

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...
we have the 2 winners from my Bezel and paper goodies blog candy!
Random.org helped me pick #11 and 44

Oohhhh. 6 x 6 pads of paper! Love them.

That looked like a fun trip full of crafty goodness! Thanks for the opportunity!! 

Congrats Jan and Deb!  Send me an email with your info (email on my sidebar) and I will get your goodies out to you right away!  

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Spellbinders retreat photos and a giveaway!

Hi everyone!  Well I am back from the Spellbinders retreat and our short family vacation to The Great Wolf Lodge!  Whew.  What a crazy 10 days.  There is not one piece of fresh fruit, vegetable or clean clothing in this entire house -I kid you not.  Thank goodness Safeway delivers, cause I am toooooo tired to go shopping.

I have a couple photos to share of the retreat.  Unfortunately I didn't take many.  I'm not sure why I didn't take more pictures? I guess everyone around me was, so I figured I could get them to share?  It was such a magical time.  It's an amazing opportunity that Spellbinders gives their designers and I am very grateful to be a part of their family.
Anyway, here are a couple pictures I did take of me and some of the gals.
(and yes, I am playing around with my new photo editing app!)

Here is me and the vision and founder of Spellbinders, Stacey Caron -we were at The Fun Stamper's Journey home office
Here is a pic of me and Tina McDonald, who is now on the Inspiration Team, taken in our meeting room (in the background is Sherry Cheever!)
And finally, a collage of me and my roommate and fellow Spellblogger, Candy Rosenberg
me and my bestie, Theresa Momber
and at the bottom right is me and Becca Feeken (yes, she is a card making idol of mine!!)

So how about a little giveaway?

I have some amazing Bezels (which are part of the Media Mixage line) to give away along with some gently loved Christmas and Halloween 6x6 pads.

I will chose 2 winners, each will receive:
10 bezels of various sizes and shapes
1 pack of Kaisercraft Collectables
4 6x6 paper pads from My Mind's Eye, Basic Grey and others
As I continue to unpack I may even find a few other goodies to include!

To enter, just leave me a comment on this post.  I will announce the winners Thursday the 22nd to enter.  As always, you don't have to be a follower of any kind to enter.  But if you are not, I ask that you check back to see if you won.  The winners will have 2 days to contact me with their information.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening!!

Hi everyone!  Super quick post today letting you know I have a new video up on the Spellbinders blog.  Check it out if you have a chance.  My project is a layout of the mama red breasted robin mama and her chickies who lived on my backyard deck rafters.  We had such fun following the progress of this nest!
The layout features Spellbinders new font dies and my favie flowers, Bitty Blossoms and I go into detail how I form my roses from the Bitty Blossom dies.

Thanks for stopping by here is a close up picture.

Enhancing Elements card on Spellbinders Blog

Hi everyone!  I am up on the Spellbinders blog with a card using the new Nestabilities Enhancing Elements line of dies.  These dies don't have an outer edge cut line, and are used to enhance your existing Nestabilities dies.  They cut small details, emboss AND deboss!  Super love them.  My tutorial shows how I letterpress blue ink into my shapes!

Here is a peek.  If you have time, please pop on over there and leave me some love!
Thanks and have a great day!!
