Blog Candy!!!!

Published by zindorf at 6:49 am under Uncategorized

You know I would rather be giving you tutorials instead of blog candy, but I will be busy the rest of the week on special secret projects (ohhhhh) that I can’t post.    I apparently like this Basic Grey Clear Stamp set “North Pole” so much I bought two of them.   Or it could be my CRS (Can’t remember Sh**)  kicking in, lol.

I’m always hungry for your creations and I love the awesome tutorials you take the time to make for your readers every day. Hmmm…….I have CRS too, but thank goodness I never forget to check out your fabulous blog every day! :) TFS!!

  28. Annapurnaon 17 Jun 2008 at 9:16 am

    That is me. I might have a 10th of the images you have and still can’t remember what all I have. I try to snag a picture from the web site and save it into “my stamps” folder on my computer, but it is hard even to go through those to figure out if I have a “Happy Anniversary” sentiment or not.

    Thanks for all your wonderful tutorials and being such an inspiration to the stamping community.

  29. Linda Erwinon 17 Jun 2008 at 9:18 am

    Along with everyone else…I love your blog, your designs, and your teaching. I made my husband a Fathers Day card from your blog…did change the bear but did put him on a hill or cliff as you did. Would love to have your candy, but love you work more. Thank you for your time and effort to share with us.
    Linda

  30. Rachelon 17 Jun 2008 at 9:20 am

  32. Joanion 17 Jun 2008 at 9:29 am

    Your blog is such an inspiration to me. Everyday I tell someone about how you did this or you did that! ALL of your creations are beautiful. I think that you are hands down the most talented stamper I ever seen!
    I will miss the posts til you come back ~ but thank you for the chance to win your wonderful blog candy. Maybe some of your creativity will rub off?
    Hugs,
    Joani

  33. Veee Schenkon 17 Jun 2008 at 9:31 am

    I’m shivering. I’m shaking. I feel sick. I’m going into Zindorf withdrawal. Give me candy. That might help. LOL I’ll have to go to the history files and get me a tutorial to tide me over.

  34. Ann C.on 17 Jun 2008 at 9:33 am

    Thanks for the chance to win blog candy Michelle. Your blog is in my top 5 must see every day - so unique & creative!

    Awesome - I am so fascinated by your work. I have been trying to make some cards with your techniques…..they just don’t look as good as yours!!!!!

    Thanks for sharing, and thanks for this great opportunity.

    Nicki

  37. Marianneon 17 Jun 2008 at 9:35 am

    Hi there!

    I am a big fan of your tutorials. They are great and very good to follow for a beginner like me.

    It would be great to win some more stamps to practice.

    Marianne

    What a neat set! Love your work, as always! Keep it up!

  42. sandyh50on 17 Jun 2008 at 10:00 am

    Michelle, I am going to miss you while working on top secret projects. I even showed your blog to my husband and he agreed with me that you are a true artist. Then I cased a card so we were analyzing that too. LOL, I still need practice!! Great blog candy. I have you on my Google Reader so I don’t miss any of your entries. Thanks for all the hard work you do on your tutorials.

  43. estheron 17 Jun 2008 at 10:06 am

    WOO HOO! Blog candy! I go to your blog everyday for your wonderful inspiration…have even tried some of your techniques, (practice makes perfect??) Thanks for sharing your amazing talent!

  44. Linda Webbon 17 Jun 2008 at 10:10 am

    Thank you so much for all of your amazing art work. I can’t believe how you turn a plain piece of cardstock into a beautiful card. Once you show the step-by-step process it looks easier to recreate…..wrong. But, I will keep trying. Thanks for the blog candy.

    Linda Webb

  45. Gigion 17 Jun 2008 at 10:11 am

    Michelle, your blog is an everyday must read. Thanks for the inspiration and the great tutorials; you have an amazing talent so many wish they had, like me :-)

  46. Kathyon 17 Jun 2008 at 10:11 am

    I’d love to take that duplicate stamps set off your hands, LOL. I wonder what sort of secret projects you could be working on?????

  47. Brendaon 17 Jun 2008 at 10:11 am

    Michelle, I love all your cards and check in everyday to see what new and beautiful creation you have made. Thank you for the chance to win. I can’t wait to see what you are working on, and don’t worry I suffer from CRS also.

  48. GrammaStamper (Barb)on 17 Jun 2008 at 10:14 am

    Michelle, your tutorials are the absolute best and easy to follow. I’ve actually been able to create a card using some of your techniques, and, they looked pretty good, even if I do say so myself. So, thanks bunches! I would love to be picked for this set, so please, do what you can. LOL.

  49. Adrianaon 17 Jun 2008 at 10:16 am

    Thanks to you I have been trying out new techniques and I’m not so nervous about leaving my comfort zone. Thanks for that!

    Each morning I check your website for your latest and greatest card. You inspire me and I wish I had 1/10th of your talent. I eagerly await your next project and the sneak peek on Thursday. Sure hope I am the lucky winner of your unfortunate CRS mistake.

    Patti

  88. Kerry from PAon 17 Jun 2008 at 2:29 pm

    Your cards and tutorials just always blow me away. The details are awesome and the hues and saturation of color is so beautiful. You have inspired me and your clear directions give me hope that I can do it, although I know my creations won’t be anywhere close to yours. I just got a versamark pen. Now I just have to stock up on the clear embossing powder.

  89. Tonnieceon 17 Jun 2008 at 2:55 pm

    Good morning to you Michelle
    I missed the last giveaway you had so thanks for the chance to win this cool one.

    Since I’m a Zindorfaholic, I’ll be having withdrawal symptoms with you going into hiding to do your super secret projects. I can’t wait to see what pops up when you return. I enjoy all your blogs and tutorials. As far as CRS, I have a bad case of that too ! Enjoy working on your projects.

  92. Linda Marieon 17 Jun 2008 at 3:41 pm

    Oh, I thought CRS meant “can’t remember shoes”! I did this with shoes once - I remembered at the checkout in time though that I had an idenetical pair in a bag at home unopened. And I thought the same as you - wow, I must really like these a lot!

    Thanks for all the inspiring tutorials and the blog candy!

Your tutorials are the BEST around … I was just trying one of your scenery spongings today … not near as good as yours (yet) but not bad … not bad!!! You are so good at stepping it all out that it makes it much easier for someone like myself to follow and not be so afraid to try! Keep up the good work … we all LOVE your talents!!
