Birthday & Blogiversary Celebration!

Hello everyone! Today is my birthday! I will also be having another birthday (blog birthday) on July 6,  It is hard to believe I have been blogging for almost 2 years! I have made some great friends along the way and am so thankful to all my followers. So in honor of these two occasions, I thought it would be fun to have a little celebration!

As a THANK YOU,  I am offering up blog candy. I have four wonderful sponsors that have joined in on the the celebration and are contributing to my prize packages. Now I want there to be as many winners as possible, so I thought I would offer up the following prizes:


  1. $15 GC to So Suzy Stamps
  2. Beauty of Butterfly Kit 
  3. Pattern & Textured Papers from the Beauty of Butterfly Kit 
  4. Tags and journal cards from the Beauty of Butterfly Kit
  5. Brads and Buttons from the Beauty of Butterfly Kit
  6. 5 digital images from Creative Bug Digitals
  7. $5 Gift card from Scribbles Designs
A year ago I had 58 followers. I now have 112. That is almost double. Your comments and kind words are what inspire me and help me to keep my creative juices flowing. I would love to get up to 200 followers, but that may be too much to ask for. Do you think I can do it? 

So to enter this candy giveaway, you could  follow me on FB here and that is always appreciated, but this is not a must.

But to qualify for the blog candy, I would ask that if you are not already a follower, that you do become one through Google friend connect (your little picture shows me you have linked up). I would really appreciate it if you place my celebration badge on your sidebar and link back here so more people can join the celebration. 




I also now have  a Twitter account. I would also love it if you followed me on TWITTER! You can find me by clicking here: @taylormade4uaz 

 Please don't follow me just for the candy and leave after...that would make me so sad. If you could also leave me a comment and let me know that you have joined me in the celebration, that would be great. The COMMENT is very important as that is what I will use to draw for the blog candy!

And as a special treat, everyone who does sign up as a follower and leaves me a comment, will get a free digital paper from my pal Lisa over at Decosse's Dynamite Doodles as well as free digi from Scribbles Design.

So go ahead and link up! :) I am giving you a little more than a month for this! So you have plenty of time! I will post the winners on my blog Monday July 6th, so please pop by to see if you have won!
















 A special THANK YOU for all my Celebration Sponsors!




So Suzy Stamps

So Suzy Stamps is based in the four corners region of New Mexico. Living in a small town in Northern New Mexico, Suzanne realized that finding the unique and fun crafting supplies was nearly impossible to locate. So she decided to take her passion of warm and fun and snarky to create her stamps and to the products she carries on line and her Bloomfield, NM store.

So Suzy Stamps are manufactured in the USA, made with traditional red rubber, the foam is indexed and every stamp tells a story, has a meaning an are all oh So Suzy!


Are you interested in digital sentiments, papers and other embellishments?  How about a badge made especially for your blog?  If these are items you are interested in, you are going to want to check out Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  My name is Lisa and with over 175 + posts of  freebies to choose from, and new ones added often, I just might have what you are looking for.  Along with the freebies I offer, I also create blog badges and am in the process of putting some kits together.  Additionally, I'm so excited to now be sponsoring giveaways and challenges at other blogs.  

So, if you have the time, come and take a look.  There is always inspiration to be found among my many different features.   I'd love for you to pop by and visit me.  I hope you have a blast!

Creative Bug Digital Stamps


I am a proud mom of 2 amazing boys. I am in love with motherhood and love life to the fullest (although you know we all have our days, wink wink) I started out as an avid scrapper (not the fightin’ kind) which led to making cards, then I found my true passion “Creating Digital Images”. I have been sketching people throughout my life yet could never draw an animal; for example, a bear would end up looking like a mouse. In 2009 I took a Graphic/Web Development course that enabled me to hone in on my creativity so today a bear looks somewhat like a bear, lol. I enjoy making websites with Dreamweaver CS4 and learning more each day about HTML and CSS. We all have our favorites to work with when we get the “Creative Bug”, mine is without a doubt working with stamps. My favorite tool would have to be the scoreboard which I use to make envelopes, boxes and creative designs on the edges of my cards. I am a working mom, a social butterfly (I am told) and love to sing, play guitar and compose music but most of all I am a loyal friend, a little eccentric at times, sincere, honest and love love love to have fun!! There is always laughter in my home, I believe life is what you make it for it is in the way we perceive every little thing.


Unfortunately, as I am busy doing other things, my blog is currently inactive.  Additionally, I am unable to keep up the costs for the cart associated with the store.  HOWEVER, my partner in crime, Lisa D., is still actively promoting Creative Bug Digital SnapShots through challenge sponsorships and blog draws so you'll still be able to find my digis out  there in cardland.  To check out my digis head to: http://creativebugdigis.com.  To contact Lisa for sponsorship
