Good morning! I am especially excited today to be writing my 500th blog post! So excited that I am offering a Stampin' Up! Stampin' Trimmer as a gift to one lucky person who leaves a comment here on my blog today! I started this promotion yesterday in anticipation of my 500th post, but so far only ONE person has left a comment! I can hardly BELIEVE it! Everyone who comments today will get a chance in the drawing, so COME ON STAMPERS, leave me some comments!

In honor of this MOMENTOUS occasion (at least for me!) I created this card:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used the card I showed you here back on the first of March as my template, then got busy changing the color scheme! I used Daffodil Delight cardstock for my base, Floral District Designer Paper, and the Secret Garden Bundle from the Occasions catalog.

Sometimes when I am creating from "scratch" it takes me a long time and sacrifices several pieces of cardstock before I am happy with the result, but this time the creative juices flowed freely and I had my sample to my pleasing in a very short amount of time!

I had been thinking that this type of fold would lend itself nicely as a gift-card holder, and I was right!

I used the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Folder, "Happiness" from Loving Thoughts,  and the "just for you" from the Pop-up Posies Designer Kit to finish things off.

Well, how's that for a 500th blog post? I am so pleased to have reached the 500 mark, now it's on to 1000!

Don't forget to leave me a comment to get your name in the drawing for the Stampin' Trimmer!

I need to close for now, my son, Logan is coming home this evening for a long weekend from school, and my sister-in-law, Debbie is coming this weekend, so I have lots to prepare!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
