Just Wanted To Share News and a Tart…
May 29th, 2007 by Jen
A couple weeks ago I got a phone call from Brenda Peterson, Editorial Assistant of Paper Crafts Magazine. She was calling to congratulate me on my Stamping Royalty win…WoooHooo!! As she continued, she let me know that not only did I win in one category, but I won in three categories. WoooHooo x 3!!!! Needless to say, I was a *little* ecstatic. I got a jumbo prize package in the mail that included this tiara. LOL!! I can’t wait to get a picture with it on!
Also included in my prize package was a set of stamps that I happen to already have. Hmmm, what should I do with these? You guessed it…I’m offering them up as a blog tart!
As you know, I introduce a new Guest Designer on the 1st of each month. You are going to love what this girl has come up with for us to ogle at! To be entered to win the blog tart, guess who you think it is, or who you would like to see featured here. I will be announcing the winner of the blog tart on the 1st, along with the new Guest Designer. Good Luck!
**PS** two of the three people that won last time never responded, so Debbie got some extra goodies in her blog tart package. Very interesting 
Wow, Jen! Congratulations X 3!!!
WOW - congrats is right!!! How thrilling for you, I’m thrilled for you.
Hmmmm you want me to guess…lets see what about Emily? Yeah Emily or how about Char? Yep those are my guesses and I’m sticking to them!
congratulations on your win!!
hmmm there are so many great stampers out there… i can’t guess! but whoever it is, i’m sure we’re going to LOVE seeing their work and learning a little more about them.
thanks for offering the blog candy… i’ve been looking for those flourishes…
What an amazing accomplishment! Congratulations to you! Can’t wait to see you in your crown. That’s snazzy!
My guess for guest designer is Jeanne Streiff.
Chris
Are your feet even touching the ground? Congrats!!
Could the Guest Designer be……Tracy Harp (LodiChick)?
Hope so!
Congrats, Jen!! Very well deserved!!
WOW X3!!! Great job!!!
Hmmm, I’m guessing Debbie Olsen, only b/c you mentioned a Debbie, but probably not even the same Debbie, but that is my guess.
Thanks for Blogging…love the inspiration!
Woo-hoo! My guess would be Kendra Giles!
Wow-congrats on your Papercrafts publications! I wish you continued success!!
My guess for your guest designer is Sharon Harnist of Paperfections?? I love her designs!!
Wow…great blog tart! Congrats on your Papercrafts publication…I always pick it up so it will be neat to see someone I know! Hmm…I think Sherrie Siemens would be a neat choice: http://sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com/.
Congrats on your big congrats from Paper Crafts!!
Let’s see…..my guess would be Emily because she is taking the week off from her blog this week, so maybe she’s working on special things for i{heart}2stamp???
There are so many people that could be a guest designer. I just can’t think of only one person. All of these ladies have too much talent for me to handle. Congratulations on your publication!!!
Wow, Jen! What a great prize pack! I can certainly see why you would win all three submissions. Your work is wonderful.
My guess is Susan Liles (susiestampalot at SCS).
I’m with Julie..I think it’s Emily and that you set it up when you guys were together not too long ago. Looking forward to checking back to see who it is. Oh, and VERY cool tiara. Every stay at home mom should have one. Will you wear it to the park?
Congratulations, Jen! I entered that contest and although I didn’t win, I’m glad that you were so successful (I don’t know how you kept it to yourself for two weeks! lol!)!! I can’t wait to see your winning entries. My guess for a guest designer this week is Sherrie, from Card Creme. I love her work.
How brilliant is that?!?!?! Well deserved, of course, but brilliant nonetheless! Congratulations! Do you know which cards of yours they picked? Do you know in which categories? Thanks for sharing your great news and your extra goodies.
I’m usually a terrible guesser, but I don’t see that anyone has mentioned Taylor yet…
Congrats!!! How exciting to win once…but 3 times! Wow!
My guess is Taylor VanBruggen.
Thanks for all the goodies!
Guest designer…hummm Cambria? I just saw those stamps at Hobby Lobby and fell in love….. thanks for the blog candy!!!
Congrat!! Wow! Can’t wait to see the pic of you in the new tiara!! Awesome blog tart too!
Congrats!!! I’m not good at guessing, but I think veramats has a great gallery on splitcoast.
Congratulations! I’m new to this so I don’t have a guess but I bet it’s going to be wonderful!
Claudia F.
Love the tiera!!! Congratulations you deserve it. I am going to guess that it is Debbie Olsen … there are so many great designers out there so it’s a real challenge to even guess at all. It’s awesome blog tart - I’ve had my eyes on those stamps for some time now and would LOVE to win them. *fingers crossed* for me and for Debbie too *wink*
Cool stamps. And congratulations on your reign of stamperosity! Totally great. Ummmm…..I really don’t know who you might feature but I’ll take a guess anyway cause I don’t have any neat fourish type stamps. How about Maria? Or if your not featuring her you could as she does lots of neat tutorials and sketches.
Congratulations on your win. Papercrafts Magazine is a favorite of mine. I have no idea who will be your guest designer next month, but since Valerie Stangle is a particular favorite right now, I will select her.
I’m going to guess Nichole Heady as the guest stamper - but honestly, anyone of the ones mentioned would be terrific.
i would have to agree with most everyone and say Emily…i would love to see more of her work! thanks…and i love those flourishes…hope i win!
emily anderson
WOW - congratulations!!!!! Well deserved, too! As for the guest designer, I have no idea - there are so many talented stampers out there the choices are just too many.
Congratulations! I love your blog. What a great blog tart! I’m not sure who you might feature, but I’d love to see Taylor Van Bruggen.
Wonderful news! Fantastic for yoU!
I’m guessing Anna as your featured stamper.
I will claim the prize if I win… thanks for the goodie!
frannyb
What an amazing win! You should be ecstatic!! No idea who the guest will be, there are so many talented people!
Wow! Congratulations! How absolutely awesome! What a great day for you!!! Maybe Taylor would be your guest stamper?
Congratulations x3!!!! For the guest designer, I would think Emily Giovanni or maybe Kendra Giles?!!?
Awesome candy! Congratulations! I’m gonna say Kendra from Inkin It Up With Kendra! I love her stuff!
Congrats on your awesomeness! My guess for guest designer is Lauren… that girl is on FIRE these days!
Congratulations, your highness! hehehe (x3)!!
There are SOOOO many talented artists out there it makes it hard to choose just one! I’ll guess Taylor VanBruggen - she’s definately one of my favorites… =o)
Happy Stampin! Debi
Congrats on winning the crown! Love the swirls — I can think of lots of great uses! Thanks for the chance to win! One of my favorite designers is Kirsten from Confessions of a Naptime Stamper — love her clean style. Another great stamper with this style is Kristina Werner of kwernerdesign.com — just love their style! But everyday I learn that there are sooooo many talented, creative people out there, this could be anyone!
Oh, the pressure! There are so many amazingly talented stampers out there, choosing just one is impossible. So, I’ll pick some of my favorites. Taylor V? Debbie Olson? Jan Tink? Leslie Miller? Ok, I give up! Just tell me!!
Congrats! I get the magazine, so I’ll be sure to watch for your publication. I have no clue who will be your guest - there are so many great stampers out there. How about Maria from Cards Inspired by Maria?
Congratulations your highnesss! Pick me pick me! I thought I ordered this and got one similar, but wahhhhh I still want this! Your blog is amazing and I love exploring here!
Lesa
I don’t know if she stamps but wouldnt it be fun to have Rosie O’Donnell on here? I know she is a very crafty lady.
Congrats on your triple wins!!
Congrats! What an amazing accomplishment x3! I love the tiara, how appropriate for royalty. I’d be getting a glass case and put the magazine & tiara in it. lol
My guess is Emily or Lauren as your guest designer.
Congratulations X 3!!!
I think any of the Papertrey Ink gals would be a fantastic guest designer (if they do that sort of thing). Ellen, Debbie, Nichole, Amy, Heather, Lisa, or Taylor…they are awesome!!
Oooh, Jen! I want to see you in that tiara!! You HAVE to take a picture like that and then use it for your SCS avatar!!
I knew you were stamping royalty from the second I saw your beautiful work! Congratulations on the HUGE validation of your HUGE talent!!
I don’t have those flourishes, so I would {heart} winning this blog tart. I’m going to guess Kendra Giles, because I’m figuring that now that you’re OFFICIALLY royalty, you need a Diva-in-Waiting!
Congrats to you! Can’t wait to see your cards. I am going with some others and agree that it’s emily. Love the stamp set. Wink Wink
Great blog and blog candy. Thanks for sharing. My guess for guest designer is Taylor Vanbruggen.
CONGRATULATIONS……..and you can bet I will respond if I happen to win the fantastic blog tart!
Karen
I love the work of Cambria - her blog is “Stamp a Little Love Baby”. She is so creative.
Congratulations on your win. WOW, a tiara. How cool!!! I think that it is Beate.
So enjoy your blog, as for a your new designer, there are so many great stamping blogs out htere, it is so difficult to pick just one, how about Sherry at Card Creme
Congratulations on your fantastic achievement! Just a guess as to the Guest Designer. Could it be Julia Stainton from Belle Papier?
Congratulations on quite an achievement! As far as the guest designer goes…..I’ll have to agree that all indications are pointing toward Emily.
Get OUT!! That is awesome news, Jen!!! woohoo for you!!! Pick me - I LOVE that set!!! I love that Tiara! You should take a picture of it ON your head & post it!!! Cambria!! I love her work & she is always coming up with creative ideas (ie the square steps twist on the medallion)
Congratulations! I don’t know who the guest designer will be but it is always fun to find out. Sandra Lew-Moll
CONGRATS to you - That is an amazing accomplishment. (as I offer you a sincere curtsey:) Great job!!! I will guess it’s Allison. She has quite a following and leads us to some wonderful blogs, like yours.
Congratulations!!!! I saw the contest advertised, gave some thought to entering and never did anything about it. I’m so pleased for you! What a thrill, and a triple thrill at that. Yay!!!!
I’ll second (third? fourth?) the vote for Lodichick. I love her work.
Congrats Jen!!! My guess for your guest designer would be Nichole Heady. I think she works w/Papercrafts and that’s who came to mind. I’m commenting here for the previous post too… love the joke!!! gotta share w/a friend of mine. =) sus.
Jen, that’s awesome and so deserved! Congrats! As for the guest designer, I’m sure you’ll pick someone awesome, though I have no idea who it might be … maybe a fellow Texan?
Oh I am terrible at guessing, but I really LOVE those flourishes! How about - I’d love to see WaterPixie!
Congrats on the Royal Wins!!!!!
Hard to guess there are so many talented people out there! I will say Allison from Canada…not only does she have the best info on her blog (http://stampinwhenican.blogspot.com/) but she makes gorgeous stuff too!
Congrats to you Jen for the paper crafts win. Love the tiara
and love your blog. My guess for your guest designer is Lindsey
Botkin. (Embellished) I know she was in the running at Paper Crafts as well and she does beautiful work as well.
Hi Jen… Congrats on the WIN!!! Woo hoo! Let’s see…. hmmmm… I think the guest will ben Ana Wolfgardt (last name is going from memory and probably spelled wrong). I’d like to see Dana over at kismet, art, life as a guest , but she’s really ecclectic and might not fit into the role. But boy has she got the creativity! MOre in her little pinky than my whole body I think! lol
Thanks for sharing!!
Bobbie
You Rule! I am so excited for you, you totally deserve the honor. As for June’s guest designer, I’ll guess…. Me! Tee Hee, totally joking. I’m gonna guess Kyla M., or maybe Jami S.,oh jeeperz! How on God’s green earth am I supposed to narrow it down to just one?
There are a lot of very talented stampers these days, I couldn’t possibly guess who will be your next guest. However, my favorite stampers are Beate, Sharon H., Julia S and Lori Craig! You could pick one of them for future guests!
my guess is Taylor VanBruggen, or emily or Debbie Olsen…congrats on winning in 3 categories :D! Great blog candy…
Congratulations. As for the guest stamper….I love AmyR’s designs. She is soooo talented!! Like many said before….there are soooo many talented stampers out there.
JoAnn
WOW! Congratulations! What fun to win X3!!

Debbie
Congratulations!! That is SO cool and certainly deserved! I guess the next guest artist is Kendra Giles of Inkin’ it Up.
Congratulations Jen!!! How fun for you and I’m sure very well deserved!! Enjoy your goodies. I have no idea who your guest designer is but I’m sure it’ll be great!
Wow, congrats on your achievement! Just a guess on your Guest Designer, could it be Julia Stainton from Belle Papier?

Okay, have a great week! Thanks for the fun!!
Very cool tiara! There are so many creative people out there…I would love to see more cards from Beate or Debbie Olsen or Taylor or Nicole Heady…I just don’t think you can go wrong with any of them!
Congratulations on your big accomplishment and win. I found your site on Allison’s blog and could resist seeing the winning tiara!!
Very nice!!
My guess for guest is Sherrie Siemens, her cards are gorgeous!
Have a great day and wear that Tiara doing something mundane, you deserve the best.
How awesome for you. Love this stamp set. I have been looking at it, but haven’t caved yet. Thanks so much.
Cheryl Sims

My best guess is Debbie Olson. But then, there are so many greats out there! I will be anxiously waiting to see who she is.
Congratulations! What an honour to be recognized.
My guess for featured designer is Allison Fillo from Stampin’WhenICan, but I am biased as she is my BSF/BFF!
Congrats again.

You deserved that crown, wear it with pride! Congrats. My guess would be Nichole Heady but there are so many wonderful designers that I’d love to see featured.
Congrats on 3 winning entries! I love the tiara. That can turn into a great dress up toy in a few years . . . unless you aren’t planning on sharing. A guess is tough . . . the first name that popped into my head was Valerie S.
There are sooo many Favs but I will guess Trudee Sauer since she is one of my tops right now.
