Sandra Caldwell Birthday Blog Hop

UPDATE!

Winner of the Sandra Caldwell image of choice is AJ!  
Please email me at dlmundinger(at)yahoo(dot)com to collect your prize.

GOOD MORNING!
We are celebrating the very talented Sandra Caldwell's Birthday (which happens to be TODAY!)
with a birthday blog hop. Won't you please help us celebrate?!



We have each made a creation with images from her Etsy store.
If you arrived here from Cathy Preissing, YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!


I've used #289 Old Lady Bat Wings.  I know Sandra has a sense of humor, or she wouldn't have drawn this hilarious image.  Gotta say, we ladies of a certain age can certainly relate.  LOL



The front of the card is a double slider and you pull the ribbon to reveal the rest of the front sentiment.  



And inside we have #799 Celebration Glamour Nana with her #896 Hot Birthday Cake.  Not as hot as you, Sandra!  Lots of love on your special day.
CHEERS!  xxxx 



I also created another card using the special digi I received for participating in Sandra's Birthday ATC Swap. those who participated and received this digi are all making a card and posting it on the Sandra Caldwell Stamp Fans FB page. It's not available in the shop, but there are all sorts of fun contests, events, new releases and inspiration on the Sandra Caldwell Stamp Fan FB page, so you might want to come join the Group and the fun.  For this one I used the sketch from the Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge so I'll be entering it there.



I'm sorry your cards will be a little late, Sandra.  I'd like to say I was afraid to mail them too early and spoil the surprise, but...umm...
Anyway, I'm all for prolonging the birthday experience and I know you are too.

Now, are you up for some Blog candy?  I know Halloween is one of Sandra's favorite holidays and she has some absolutely ADORABLE Halloween stamps in her Etsy shop. Tell me the name and # of your favorite and you'll be put in the hat to win the stamp of your choice.   Winner will be announced Saturday, July 30th, both here and on the Sandra Caldwell Stamp Fans FB page.

This new one is MY current fave.  What's yours?  Hint: search Halloween to see ALL of the fabulous Halloween stamps.

  1. Wow, Donna - what a lot of work! I love your double slider card and that image is ADORABLE. I bet Sandra loved this card. I feel like Sandra was looking at my bat wings when she drew the image!! Thanks for the giggle this morning. Are those real conversation hearts on the ATC card?!?! Love your idea of blog candy! Sandra has so many fun Halloween images. I bet the blog hoppers will have a hard time choosing!!

  10. Great pair of cards Donna, I'm sure Sandra will love them, I do!! Such creativity and fun with those fabulous images and colourful papers! Love them! :)
    I'm the opposite of Sandra, I'm not into Halloween, my British upbringing probably, we didn't trick or treat when I was a kid. So I would have to go with #603 - Bearly Trick or Treat - that about sums me up. LOL
