JUANITA CAIN

Congrats Jaunita for recruiting the most members to follow the blog!!!!! Soon you will have an altered vintage book all to yourself!

I will be announcing this weeks giveaway this evening as well.. soooo be sure to stay tuned!!! This month each week I will have a fabulous giveaway!!! And the first week is a doosie!!! Featuring it on my latest project!

Be sure to keep spreading the word of this blog! If we hit 20 followers by mid-May I plan on giving some goodies away to someone who has became a follower and left a comment!

Followers

I am very excited to announce in only a week The Craft Donkey got over 10 followers. I wanted to mention something though.

While speaking to a few gals they were curious if they would be considered for for prizes.. they had followed via email. I wanted to point out that when you follow via email.. you do not appear as a follower... therefore making it nearly impossible for me to contact you when you have or do win a give-away.

So here's what you do, if you had followed via email from directly on this blog.. please also great an acct. on blogger to become a follower! This will ensure your following is seen! As, like I stated I can not see you as a follower if you just follow via email. It only takes about 30 seconds to create an account.

Sneak Peak....

SNEAK PEAK!!!!! If your savy with your brands.. this is from a great collection from Prima. A lovely collection for Spring!

  In May I'll have a giveaway each week! YAY!!!! Nothing is better than free goodies!!! So, be sure to check back regularly! And invite other to follow as well to have a chance to WIN!

Here's a sneak peak as to which line it is. See if you can guess it.

 A hint: the answer is in the flowers!

It's my recent project! I'll share it soon! And one lucky winner is going to be winning an amazing selection of this Prima Collection! Including papers, flowers, chipboards, cardstock stickers, journaling cards and MORE!!!

Remember SUNDAY!!! I'll be announcing a winner to one of the great altered vintage books!!! So be sure to stay tuned to claim your prize!

Must Make Flowers!!!

One of the most growing trends over the last year have been creating your own flowers!!! We all love to try new ones and add a personal flair and touch to our pages! There's sooo many tutorials out there. Some more complicated then others.

Below is a wonderful link. It has a simple and very good tutorial on making the adorable little roses! I've made them a time or two on my own but love that she made them from coordination's cardstock... the colored core is just soo pretty! Take a look!
