Welcome to One World One Heart on Just Jingle! *Giveaway!*

I am so excited to, once again, be participating in Lisa's fabulous One World One Heart event this year! This event has been running for five years and this is the last one, so I can't WAIT to meet lots of fantastic new artistic bloggers! I have made some incredible blog friends through this event!

For those of you who are visiting for the first time, my name is Jingle and love to create! I love to have fun and that is generally pretty evident on my blog! I do a lot of card making, mixed media work, stamping, and doll making. You know...I'm an artist with too much inspiration and not enough time! HA! I began as an avid scrapbooker and it all just sprung for there! OH! And I have blue hair. Well, not entirely...just streaks, but I love it. I also really love to laugh. It's good for you. Just say'n. I also have an amazingly wonderful Hubbums, two black labs, Maggie and Thatcher (yup...they are named after her...), and live in a happy little city in Massachusetts in a happy little house in a happy little neighborhood. I have a couple of cool parents and a fabulous sister who also loves the arts, as she is an actor by trade. Basically, I'm me. And me is pretty awesome. Just say'n.

For my door prize, I am giving away one of my art dolls! Meet, Evanthe!



She is a cloth and clay doll ready to greet you with a bunch of pretty flowers! She is made with Samantha Walker fabrics for Riley Blake and Creative Paper Clay. I painted her with watercolor and acrylic paints and embellished her with ribbon and trim!

If I get more than 200 entries, I will also give away an ATC for every 100 entries. I will be working on these throughout the event, so I don't have photos yet!

All you need to do to enter to win Evanthe is to have a blog (that's the point...to meet LOTS of other fabulous bloggers!) and leave a comment here letting me know where I can find you so I can come visit! If you enjoy my blog, I would LOVE to have you follow (but it is totally not required)! That pretty much makes my day when I see a new follower around here! Just say'n. Also, feel free to check out the OWOH event and join in the fun with your own post and giveaway!

So...it's THAT easy! The giveaway closes on February 17th! I'm excited to meet you!!!!

New Lines from Samantha Walker

Samantha Walker Designs and Creative Imaginations have some REALLY super cute releases debuting at CHA and I just HAD to share these with you!

First, we have the Enchanted Garden line, which is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous and Samantha has a matching fabric line with Riley Blake! How cool is THAT?!

Yup. You know you want it!

The second line is called Heidi and is SO SWEET! I love the soft color tones and yet the spirited whimsy of this line!

Isn't it just too sweet?! I love it!

And finally, my favorite of the three.... KOKESHI!!!!

Okay, so seriously, you guys??? TOTAL CUTENESS! I love the colors, and the dolls!!!! *sigh* Happiness in paper form. Just say'n. I just have to HOPE for fabric in these amazing patterns!!!!

So...tell me what you think! AND...if you head on over to Samantha's blog you *might* find some giveaways!!!

You're My Cup of Tea

It snowed. Again. Enough Said on THAT. Just say'n. Seriously...Maggie and Thatcher, my labs, LOVE snow and even they are tired of it covering up their yard and making it difficult to move around. Poor girls! LOL! But, alas, what can we do?

I have a fun Valentine to share with you today! Is it just me, or do coffee drinkers have an edge as far as stamps go? It seems like it's always easier to find coffee stuff than tea stuff. Well, I say HMPH to that! HA! This is a fabulous stamp from Scrolls Work. I absolutely LOVE the detail on the tea cup! So cute! This one is for the tea drinkers!



That gorgeous background? Yup. That's totally the Cream Hearts Holey Cardstock by Samantha Walker for Creative Imaginations. LOVE THAT!!!!



I inked the tag and the cardstock with the stamped image to give them a warm feel. I think I like it, but I'm still not totally sure on that one. HA!



I love the blue tone (Twighlight by CTMH) ink combined with the white to create the china look on the tea cup. That was fun!

I am also entering this in the Gingersnaps Hot Beverage challenge. I hope to do another one with the hot beverage theme, but I wanted to toss this one in, too!

I hope you have a super fantastic Thursday!!!

I am joining the following parties:

100 Proof Moxie Fab- We Are Talking Hard Core Rubber, folks! {WOYWW}

Stamps, my friends! Not 100 Proof liquor. Sorry for those who came looking for that. HA! ACTUALLY, I'm super excited to tell you about 100 Proof Press!!! This stamp company has been around for over 30 years! Yes, you read that correctly, THIRTY years! If you've been in the industry long, you know that is a LOOOONG time and quite impressive! AND...it is now under new ownership!!! The fabulous Sara Vukson has taken over and is already doing a bang up job with the company!!!

Sara sent me some stamps to show off and they honestly just arrived like two days ago, but I simply HAD to do a quick project with one last night because, well, quite frankly, I can't just let fresh rubber sit on my desk unused! HA!



Ummmm...yup. AWESOME images! Seriously! The catalog is AMAZING!!! This is just one of the images she sent, so you will be seeing some really fun projects coming up! 'Cause, seriously...just looking at these stamps is inspiring! No. For reals, folks. For. REALS.



This card was not only inspired by this amazing stamp, but also by the seriously fabulous Moxie Fab Monochromatic Color Inspiration Challenge. Can you say PINKNESS???? Actually, the combo seemed really tricky for me at first, but as soon as this stamp arrived I had the PERFECT idea and now I am loving the monochromatic pinks! LOVING THEM!!!!



So...wanna know what my workspace looks like? Well, it DID look like a pink explosion, but I managed to get the papers scraps cleaned up last night! LOL!



Now, it just has minor pinkness remnants, a new bucket of spice drops to replace the former bucket of jelly hearts, and more RUBBER!!! I can't wait to play with those other images! Seriously...just LOOK at them!!! You know you wish you were here right now. Just admit it. Me, my crazy blue hair, spice drops, and 100 Proof Press image goodness! It's like a tiny slice of heaven, folks. A tiny. slice. of. heaven. Just Say'n.

Today is totally feeling like a Jingle Out kind of day, so prepare yourselves, ladies and gentlemen. Prepare yourselves. 'Cause it's totally coming.

Jingle. OUT!

Just Say'n. ;-)

P.S. To check out more fabulous workspaces totally head over to The Stamping Ground! Join in! It's wicked fun!

They are predicting another snow storm this week. That seems to be the trend as of late...we get DUMPED on once a week. It's a little crazy, actually. Particularly if you have a 50 mile EACH WAY commute. *sigh* Lots of snow days. Just say'n. HA! I DO hope that you have a truly fabulous Tuesday!

Today I am linking with the following parties:

Happy Valentine's Day, Cowboy!

Ummm...so yup. It's totally 7 below zero in my happy little city right now. Yup. 7. degrees. BELOW. freaking. zero. That's not warm. Just say'n.

Seven. Below. Yes, I'm aware that I am dwelling, but SERIOUSLY, folks??? Don't you think that's a weeee bit ridiculous. 'Cause I do. For reals.

Anyway, this fun little Valentine that I created is sure to make us all feel warmer! Okay...so that doesn't make any sense, but still, I want to share it, so I'm gonna, K? K. Thanks.



Yup. It's a Valentine card for a guy. Who knew? HA! The papers, border stickers, and that awesome epoxy sticker are all from the Cowboy line by Samantha Walker for Creative Imaginations! I LOVE this line! so cute and the colors are just perfect! I added some alpha stickers (Making Memories) for the sentiment and popped on some brads (Making Memories) in the corners to finish it out.



I don't know if it is because this is just a way fun card or because I totally have a thing for cowboys, but either way, I love it. Just say'n.



Have a super happy Monday!!!
