THIS CANDY IS NOW CLOSED WINNER OF PARTS 1 AND 2 WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON
SATURDAY - I HOPE!!!!!
Yes, folks it will be my Birthday on 21st January and to celebrate I have some candy for you. Firstly , though, I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to my followers. You always make me feel good about my work and want me to make more. You are the reason I am addicted to blogging!!!! I have only been doing this for 6 months and have nearly 100 followers and had nearly 10,000 hits how great is that.
I have also learned some new techniques, used new colouring mediums, made some new types of card all thanks to the fabulous challenges we are so lucky to have and not forgetting the inspiration from all of you.
Now my candy has two parts to it and I would be really please if you could do both, but it is totally up to you.
Part 1
Without further waffling here is the piccy of the goodies.
The details are as follows:-
Woodware Clear Stamp set - Fairy Delights
See D's Stamp set - Christmas theme
1 set of Craft tri beads
2 sheets of The Snowman Stickers
21 sheets of peel offs in various colours
1 Priscilla Styles envelope pattern
1 sheet of dome stickers
Approx 200 Dovecraft designer chipboard pieces - fashion
1 set of Quick kutz rockers.
So what do you have to do to win these goodies. I have made it quite simple this time!!
1. Comment below and tell me your favourite crafting tool or give me a useful crafting tip.
There isn't a 2 but if you would like to become a follower that would be great. Lets face it that's how you meet new crafters and make some good friends along the way. You can also spread the word by putting a picture on your sidebar linking back to this candy but again that is totally up to you.
Part 2
If you fancy a big bar of real candy - Chocolate - would you like to send me a Birthday card? I must admit I find a January birthday rather depressing after all the hype and stress over Christmas and New Year so it would really make my day to receive some extra fabby cards on the big day. You can find my email address in my profile, just email me and I will send you my address.
This candy will end on 21st January 2010 and I will draw the winner of my Birthday candy, and Chocolate candy on the 30th January 2010 so you have plenty of time to join in!!!

Gorgeous candy Ali, I will pop a piccy and a link in my sidebar
hugs Mandy xx
Thanks for the lovely candy...
I just wanted to tell you that, if you like distress inks, instead of using the blending tool, you can easily use the make up pads. I find it really usefull!!
Thanks again and Merry Christmas,
I've linked your candy on my sidebar!!!
Hugs from Greece!!
Mmmm chocolate.
Hello my friend,
sorry I am late with this comment but I have been MIA for a couple of days. Woohoo what fab candy - and real stuff too!!! My favourite craft tool at the moment would have to be the computer for all those digi images!! Hints and tips - what could I possibly teach you??? Try using your waterbrush to pick up ink from an ink pad instead of watercolour crayons, I used distress inks initially but this trick works with most pads, you just have to use trial and error for how much colour you get on your brush!! Try it, I think you'll like it. Birthday card in production as we speak!!
Many hugs and the very best for Christmas and the New Year.
Will speak soon.
Dawn xx
Happy Birthday Ali! And a Merry Christmas!
Have posted a link on my sidebar hon!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Hugs SuzyX
Whoops - forgot to answer the question - my favourite crafty tool is Tim Holtz's paper distresser - who knew this little nifty gadget could do so much for me!!!!!!!
Its great on those Core'dinations cardstock!!
Hugs again
SuzyX
Happy Birthday!! Mine is the 13th of Jan. so I know what you mean about the let down after Christmas. What a great candy you are offering. I'll be adding it to my sidebar. I think lately, my favorite crafty tool would be my Big Shot. It's fairly new and about the only "tool" besides my cutter that I have, but I have had fun with it. Thanks for a chance.
I have a crafting tip for you...since I don't own an embossing buddy yet I use a dryer sheet to rub over the area before embossing and it keeps the stray powder off! So far it has worked for me! As for a fav tool...hmmm, I would say my cricut. It really gives me alot of options for my cards!
Happy early Birthday and thanks for a chance to win some generous candy!

Hi Ali...fab candy sweetie...so glad that you like me have had a ball here in blogland. I dont think we have had the pleasure of meeting prior to me just finding your link over at Dawns (craftykitten) I dont want any chocolate or need any excuse to send you a birthday card sweetie. I will only be too happy to send you one so I will email you for your addy...have you thought of joining our xmas RAK Club? dawn knows all about it as she is one of our elves. We do birthdays with little gifts too but you haveto join in and do the same for another members birthday. its a great place to be and its private. You are most welcome.

Hi Ali. I have added your candy to my sidebar to spread the word for you. I have noted your birthday for the birthday club ;-)
Big Hugs
what beaut candy babe.
Lisa.xx
Hi Ali,
Just popped over from xmas rak club. The only tip I can think of at mo is when I use nesties on my big shot I place a magnetic sheet underneath the paper, it stops the nesties from slipping. I also use a magnetic board for storing them.I will put you link on my blog but wont be until boxing day or day after.
hugs Clare x
Hi Ali
Maybe a idea is that you can colour the background of the stamp with soft pastels/ oilpastels.
I became one of you're followers and I've put you're candy into the sidebar of my blog.
Come to visit my blog here
Merry Christmas and thanks for the chance to win!

Merry Christmas! My favorite crafting tool is definitely my Cricut. I waited a long time to buy one as it's quite expensive, but I couldn't miss him anymore. Scrapbooking goes so much faster when you don't have to handcut the titles anymore! Thanks for a chance to win! Greetings from Belgium, Annelies
OOoohhhh...Ali, this looks heavenly. I check you out everyday and have a link to you on my side bar. I would LOVE to win this as these are all things I do not have!!! Good luck and congrats to you on 100 followers.
awesome candy.
my fave tool is punch.
it makes the card prettier :)
thx for the chance.
Hi Ali, I've added your candy to my sidebar! http://terryeo.blogspot.com/ So glad you are in the Xmas and birthday club - how fun it will be! ;D
Hi Ali from Canberra Australia - what YUMBLY Candy and a Priscilla Styles Template too - fabulous!! My favourite tool would have to be my Cuttlebug - love all of the texture and the cutting you can do with it - I use mine everyday! I am off to link your Candy to my Blog:
http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com
and would love you to visit sometime! Thanks for the opportunity to play! Happy Birthday to you - enjoy the moment!! God bless you!
Happy Birthday Ali!
I like your blog. I became a follower already.
Answering a question - well I think the best tool is a freestyle cutter but still I have not one at me. If I have it my cardmaking would be the easier hobby for me, also any punches are good, but I have not any either ((((( Sorry )
Many thanks for the chance to win this nice candy. I linked it on sidebar. Many hugs from Larisa.
Hi Ali! I was just popping in to say hello and to thank you (again - hee hee!) for entering my blog candy... Now I see that YOU have some awesome blog candy -yay! You see, I will never run out of things because I give, but then I receive back :D It just seems to work out!
I would say that my copics and nesties are my fav things to work with. I don't know what I'd do with 'em!
Have fun, my friend :D
Love and hugs ~ Lori

I think I would have to say that I love embossing. Even though so many things have surfaced over the years I still love my embossing gun I am very old school and use old tools and supplies. My Mom ordered me a die cut paper embossing machine for Christmas, which I am sure I am going to love!
