This Candy Post Will Remain On Top Until Sept.12th PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS! ;)


THIS CANDY IS NOW CLOSED

More blog candy! This one is to celebrate my "Cuttlebug Challenge Blog DT spot!

I am so excited! Maggie from the "Cuttlebug Challenge Blog" invited me to join their team. They are an awesome group of girls so I couldn't say no! ;)
Since my candy is for CCB I thought it only right that I give away Cuttlebug candy. I love embossing folders so that Is what I am offering. A hint for those of you who don't yet own a Cuttlebug...you can use them in most die cutting machines or they even work with a rolling pin. :)
I hope you will all sign up!

One lucky winner will win all of the following embossing folders:
Distressed Stripes
With Love
Frills
Forest Branches
Leaf Branch

Here are the rules...

1. Become a follower...if you are not already.
2. Place my blog candy picture on your blog and link it back to my blog
3. Come back here and leave a comment letting me know you have done it and leave me a link to your blog. Then I will come around to all of you for a visit to see where you posted my candy and to check out your cards. Great chance for me to see new fellow card artist's work!

This candy will run thru Sept. 12th and I will announce the winner on Sept. 13th.
I hope you will head over to the "Cuttlebug Challenge Blog" and check out the cards my new team mates have to offer. Take your time and look around the archives while you are there. You will find lots of great tips and tutorials!

I would like to thank you in advance for taking the time to help me celebrate my newest DT spot! Good luck!
Hugs,
True :)
