Blog Candy Winner

Congrats Shaila Gumaste!! Your name was drawn to win the Blog Candy.

Her comment is below ....

Angie - loooooooooooooooove the simplicity in your cards & 3D adorable projects. I have replicated many of them & they never fail to please my beautiful twin daughters & friends. So here's my new year resolution... keep it simple with a touch of bling! Happy New Year to you & your family & have a happy & healthy year!

Shaila, please send me your address to angie@mychicnscratch.com.

Thanks for all the comments! I LOVED reading all the New Years Resolutions ..... and we have a lot in common :)  I too want to be more organized (as well as lose weight). 

So, I thought I would share with you my new shelf for my Stamps.  Now that most of my stamps are clear I can fit them on one shelf  (Backgrounds and Alphabets are on my old shelf). 

It's the Martha Stewart Living Ingrid Bookcase and they have them at Home Decorators.  It's the best store we have for furniture for paper crafting.

We just put this together last night so I'm not sure if I'll make any changes ..... but I'm excited to try something different.

I have a lot of people ask me How to organize stamps  ... what I do is organize them just like the catalog.  All my holidays have red dots, all my sentiments have orange dots and i keep them all together.  (Those colored dots are very helpful!!).

I'll share more pictures when it's ready ...as you can see the shelf on the left is empty (but not for long).

Have a great evening!

Scratch & Win aka Blog Candy

 

It's been a while since I offered some blog candy and since I need a favor I decided to offer up some goodies :)

My blog candy includes:  Punched Posies stamp set, Ikea jar with ribbon, a Chic Stand, Assortment of Satin Ribbon, Monogram post it notes (leftover from Convention), the box I made yesterday on UStream, the card I've made twice on UStream :)  ....you know testing the set up..... and a cute little stamp that says from our house to yours.

If you were able to tune in during my Live Stream.....I have a dilemma and I need your help.  If I want better quality filming.....it flickers because the camera is always adjusting itself.  If I go with lower quality ...it speaks for itself.  If you compare the Owl Halloween Box I made on Saturday to the Wicked Fun Square Box I made yesterday ....which do I use?  I have one more thing I can change but I'm not sure we'll ever get to the level of perfection (streaming live is complicated!!).  Click here to go to my UStream channel.

Let me know what you think...especially if you've watched them :)

I'll draw the winner tomorrow afternoon after my Live Stream (I want to give them a chance to win as well).

Here's some Q & A's:

• Q:  Are you going to stop doing You Tube videos?
• A:  No way!  Just adding something new....I love trying new things!!
• Q:  Why are you streaming instead of You Tube?
• A:  Streaming Live allows us to talk with each other as I'm making the project.  There's no editing going on....it's all live.  To be honest ...it's been a total blast.  Yesterday the recording ended in 11 minutes but we talked for at least an hour & 1/2.
• Q:  Why can't I enlarge the screen?
• A:  I have no clue...I've worked on it too...if you enlarge it the screen becomes fuzzy. 
• Q: Why can't I post a comment?
• A:  UStream is a complicated site...it has some issues but I've looked at others and it seems to be the best for now.  They are making improvements, so that's good.  If you can't comment....sign out....and sign back in...try that a few times.  You may also want to clear your cookies and restart your computer. If you watch a lot of videos...they are all sitting in your temporary internet files and you need to delete them.
• Q:  Are you going to post a schedule?
• A:  For now I plan to stream at noon on Saturdays...I may throw a chat in on Friday evenings but the rest will be short notice.  I fly by the seat of my pants most of the time and if I try to create a schedule I will more than likely disappoint you ....does that make sense?  Here's an example...in the month of June (or maybe it was May) I was in a funk and totally lacked creativity...so if I had to produce something when I'm in a funk....it's take the fun out of it. 

I hope that answers most of your questions...if not let me know.  If I receive any new ones I'll update this post with a red font so it's easy to see.

Updated August 22nd

Congrats Debbie West....you won the blog candy!! 

The next three people have won a Free Chic Stand:

• I love, love, love your Ustream Live. It is so much fun to hear you in an unrehearsed (real) way. To see that you make mistakes too, makes me feel soooo much better.

  Posted by: Jackie Funk | August 21, 2010 at 01:08 PM

• I did not notice any problem with the 2,4,6,8 box, with the owl stamp. I did notice some hesitation with the belly band box. I love watching your videos and UStream -- and all your 3D projects. I don't often get to watch the live broadcasts, but watching the replays allows me to stop to take a note and then go again. Thanks for your time!

  Posted by: Jan B | August 20, 2010 at 12:55 PM

• I watched both and thought the owl box was the best. However I didn't notice any flickering, I must have been so intent on watching and listening! LOL!! Angie, you are such an inspiration to so many. As always, thank you so much!!!!

  Posted by: Liz Miller | August 20, 2010 at 11:01 AM

Have a great Friday and I'll see you tomorrow!

p.s. if you plan on attending the live stream tomorrow and want to participate in making the project....here's the supply list:  12 x 12 sheet of Halloween Designer Paper, matching ribbon, ink & card stock, scissors, trimmer with scoring blade, bone folder & your favorite halloween stamp set.....& let's not forget adhesive :)   See ya!

An update on the Occasions Mini Catalog & Sale-a-bration Catalog.  We've received a notice that the catalogs were mailed out a tad late.  If you'd like to see it now, click here to view them online.  Just remember both catalogs do not go live until Jan. 5th. 

Happy New Year!!


p.s. several of you ladies shared your new year resolutions with me and I'll share one with you that's been on my list for a few years.
 I accomplished it today (took me the entire day but it's complete).
  Clean off all the hard drives we have around the house and get rid of all the old computers.  Had to go to Best Buy & get some Jump Drives (some of the computers were too old to use an External hard drive).  So, after I saved my old photos & files....I took out the hard drives & put them in a sink full of hot soapy water.  I'm pretty sure a computer hacker can't fix that...but somebody correct me if I'm wrong :)

Day two for Scratch n Win aka Blog Candy

Here's the blog candy for day two.....

This blog candy is an assortment of stuff & here's what's included:

• Designer Paper Shares
• Celery Ribbon
• Kindle Clutch
• Scallop Circle Pin Cushion
• Rag Quilt Purse DVD

But I need to warn you.....the Kindle Clutch & the Scallop Circle Pin Cushion are not perfect.  In my attempt to learn how to make them I had to make a bunch.   I figured why not give them away instead of letting them collect dust.

The Designer Paper was from my Stampin Up Product Shares last fall and all the paper is still current.

Good luck & Happy New Year!!

p.s. I'll announce the winner on Jan. 1st.
