I have a giveaway to share with you today a little further down in my post, but I first wanted to share a card I created using my favorite Rose image by Crafty Secrets. I just purchased Tim Holtz' new Watercolor markers, and I have to tell ya.....I LOVE Them! They are so much fun to work with! I love the "watercolor" effect that it gives and the depth of color.
After coloring the roses and leaves, I sponged the entire top of the card with Tea Dye Distress Ink. After inking it up, I sprayed it with water and dabbed it with a towel. It gives this beautiful aged, splattered appearance. To finish off the card, I just added a bit of lace, twine, sentiment, and stick pins.
I love giving stuff away and making someone's day, so today I have a VINTAGE giveaway to ONE lucky person!
It is a suitcase packed with vintage goodies from my favorite companies!
A Closer look at what's inside! : )
A Stamp set from My Craft Spot and a mini album from Doodlebug!
Glassine bags filled with flowers, buttons, sequins, journaling cards, and little handpainted/glittered jingle bells!
TWO vintage CD's from Crafty Secrets! The brand new Cuttlebug Poinsettia Quilling kit, and Victorian Romance!
All you need to do is become a follower, subscribe, or post my badge on your blog AND tell me what fun summer plans you have! That's it! I love hearing about your lives and this is such a great way to get connected with you! The blog candy will close Thursday night at 10 PM CST.
Off to a pool party with Cortney today! Have a great day my friends!

I've been a subscriber for a while now - your blog is awesome. This summer my hubby and I have already staffed a boy scout summer camp for a week. We'll head to the beach for a week with our grown kids soon, and end the summer with a scuba trip to Cozumel with our best friends. Summer sure is different with no little ones at home...
My summer plans include working and crafting : ) Thanks for the chance to win (I'm already a follower)!
Wow, your card is absolutely beautiful! Love the affect of the Tea Dye Distressing Ink. My summer plans include welcoming a new grandson the end of July! I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time with him and my other grandson, who will be a big brother.

I am now following your blog, though I'm trying to figure out how this " following" works. The card in today's post is beautiful and your give-away is awesome. We usually vacation in the fall or WDW in December, but I am going to a scrapping retreat this weekend for my birthday!
Already a follower and I believe a subscriber too. We dont really have any fun things planned for this summer. My mom is ill and we are all taking turns caring for her. We will have the grandkids birthday parties to attend this summer and that is always fun!

Michelle I love your vintage card it's gorgeous! This is the first summer I'm actually working in about 10 years. I'm an aide at an elementary school and I was offered a job helping a 21 year old girl (with Down Syndrome) with daily life skills. It's been amzing so far & now I'll also get to spend some evenings with her when I go back to work in Aug. So guess you can say it's been a great summer for me both financially and emotionally. Thanks for the chance to win I love anything vintage!
My summer plans are to start a new job on Monday. Wish it was somethig more fun, but it will be nice to have a real job again after 3 years of retail.
This summer I am looking for a new job. We are going to Hershey Pa for vacation. And I am going to get some Christmas things done to sell in the fall.
Hi! I have been a subscriber for a very long time now. Ummm my summer plans are up in the air. I retired for the public school system after almost 30 years. That was 3 weeks ago. My husband will retire on the 29 of June so we will probably sit and look at each other and ask how the heck did we get so old so quick!
Your card is really beautiful.I can see why it's a favorite. We're looking forward to our oldest son's visit and going to my sister's house for a visit.
What a beautiful card. I have not mastered coloring yet but boy you sure are inspiring. I am new follower from the Circle Blog :) My plans consist of working and trying to use the weekends to soak up some sun!
Those markers look like fun I will have to try them. Summer plans: camping camping and more camping and some crafting too

You are so generous! Another giveaway, wow. I LOVE your card.
I am going to attempt to put your badge on my blog tonight, although I am not good with this computer stuff!
Our summer plans are pretty much to hang out at home.
Both Marty & I are workaholics, so actually being home and not working is a treat for us, anytime. Our families and friends will come visit, they call our backyard "Club Marty" because we live on the water and have lots of little boats (rowboats, kayaks and peddle boats) for everyone to play in.
Yeah! 1.5 more weeks and it is summer vacation for me! Yeah!!! I plan on hanging out with the kidlets, going to Sea World and the world famous San Diego Zoo! Just to spend time with them will be a treat in itself! Thanks Michele!!
Fabulous card!!! I love the vintage look! Summer plans include a trip to Chicago to watch our sweet daughter graduate from Navy Boot Camp and a few trips to the lake - crafting on my downtime. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

I have just started following you blog and I love seeing what you are making. My kids are going to California to visit cousins and grandparents for a couple of weeks so I am going to do some birthday sewing for one of them while they are gone. I am also going through their room and getting rid of stuff that hasn't seen the light of day in a long time. Other than that we are sticking fairly close to home and just hanging out. Thank you for the chance to win!
I have been a follower of your blog for a while. I love your card - it is so pretty in the vintage colors. Thanks for the chance to win such an awesome give-away. I am working on a heritage scrapbook and this would fit right in with my theme. As for the summer, no real plans right now. We are hoping to do some traveling - beach and the Smokies - but due to the illness of a family member all travel plans are on hold.

Hi Michele,
Wowie, what a giveaway!! My summer plans include crafting, going to the beach and grilling as much as possible...the stove deserves a break too. LOL!!
I have been a follower of your blog since you became part of the circle family and love all of your great inspiration. We love to spend time at the lake during the summer. It's only about a half an hour drive from our house but some how it feels as though you've taken a journey into a whole new world. It's nice to get back to the basics, one channel on the 9 inch TV screen, no internet access, catching supper off the end of the dock, ending the day with smores over the open campfire and wonderful conversations that don't always take place at home.
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway! Someone will be very lucky to take home such a fun and creative gift.
jjlarson@nvc.net
I follow your blog by email...love your work and all that you share w us! Your card is beautiful as always.
The highlight of my summer will be my daughter coming for a week over the 4th with her family. I live in ND and her hubby is in the airforce...they live in MO. I was there in Jan. when she had her baby, cried when I left...she was only two weeks old. I have only seen pics since...I'm so anxious to see them again and smother her with hugs and kisses!
Thanks for the chance to win your awesome blog candy...enjoy your summer!

I absolutely adore your vintage rose card...
Our family is doing a lot, but separately! Our oldest son graduated
from college, got a job and is
working on a home he bought. Our
second son is taking a couple classes
while at home and working! Then,
he will return to the University
of Minnesota. I keep busy by crafting
and my husband is putting in a lot
of hours at work. Then, he is going to Japan for work...Many thanks, Cindi

Michele, what a lovely card! You always choose the most perfect colors for your projects! Sounds like we might be seeing a lot more watercolored cards in the future! Hurray!
I am a follower, if you couldn't guess and this summer I plan on enjoying time with my kids and trying to make sure they have a nice time off of school.

Beautiful card!! Thanks for all the details - need to try this! Not sure yet - hopefully being able to enjoy each and every moment we have together as a family : ) Everyone is getting older and have summer jobs so scheduling can be tricky. Thanks for the chance to play!
this flower totally blows me away today, love the way you colored it. Wow, I'm off to buy that stamp I love this so much!
Love your card. I don' really have any big summer plans because we took our vacation in the spring. Maybe I can catch up on my travel scrapbooking. Thanks for the chance to win!
I have been a follower of your blog for some time and always enjoy your writing and especially sharing your life and your girl with us. You are truly an inspiration. I plan to try to keep up with the water requirements for my flowers and lil garden. Colorado needs rain!
OMG, I am doing it all, following, subscribing, putting your button on my blog, pinning you on my craft board, following you on facebook, have I missed anything?
This summer I joined my first swap and need to find vintage sewing stuff so I will be haunting flea markets, also planning a Montana family reunion and getting email invitations out and making western hootenanny decorations for the reunion.
I would love a chance to win and then play with Crafty Secrets CD's.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Wow this is a stunning card! Love the highlights on the flowers, the blue outline against the tea dye distress ink.. Just truly inspiring :) I have been following you since sometime this year, sorry I don't know exactly when. And not sure if I'm too late for this or if we have till next Thursday for the candy? BTW, my candy is nowhere near as awesome, but if you're needing some stickers, pop on over to my blog and enter away :) Hugs
I have been following for a short time, I love your site and work! This summer we have already gone on a vacation to the NC mountains: BEAUTIFUL. For the rest of the summer I plan to relax and enjoy time with my 3 kids.
Your tag is the first one I have been able to attach to my blog. I learned something today. :-)
