Blog Candy (and lots of acronyms) LOL

The "Paper Lovers Dream" Blog Candy has arrived! 

(click images above to enlarge)

It's time for this self-proclaimed paper hoarder to let go of her much loved, but unused Stampin' Up! designer series paper (also known as DSP).  I have such a difficult time actually using my designer paper because it's just too pretty to cut into pieces.  This paper has been sheltered (poor, lonely paper) in a protected plastic case for far too long ... But, I think now is the time for these collections to "come out of retirement" and find a new home.  So, to make way for the new collections I plan to hoard...  I am offering the following 5 collections as blog candy. 

Apple Cider - Coordinating ink and card stock (CS):  Close to Cocoa, Really Rust, River Rock & Wild Wasabi. 
Coordinating Stamp Sets:  True Friend and Boho Friend wheel (page 106)

Dashing - Coordinating ink and CS:  Old Olive, Real Red, River Rock, & Very Vanilla

Fall Flowers - Coordinating ink and CS:  Old Olive, Really Rust, Sahara Sand & Soft Sky

Outlaw - Coordinating ink and CS:  Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel, Really Rust, Sage Shadow,  Very Vanilla. 
Coordinating Stamp Set:  Wanted (page 107)

Wintergreen - Coordinating ink and CS:  Always Artichoke, Certainly Celery, Sage Shadow, & Soft Sky

* I have included links to the Splitcoaststampers (SCS) galleries for each paper collection and stamp set - click the links above to view.

I have also noted the coordinating Stampin' Up! ink, CS and stamp sets (as applies) for each DSP collection. You can download the full DSP coordinating color chart here SUDPCoordColorChart.pdf.  It was posted on SCS by Cat, a very talented SCS Member.  This list has served me well and a big thank you goes out to Cat for all her hard work AND for sharing this resource with the SCS community. 

Back to the Blog Candy!! 

What exactly will you win? 
6 sheets of each DSP collection listed above, cut into 6x6 pieces (30 pieces total).  Each collection is double sided, so you will receive 12 prints per collection.  Imagine all the cards, scrapbook pages, and other Kreations you could make with this Blog Candy. 

NOTE:  When you purchase Stampin' Up! DSP, you receive 12 sheets - 2 each of 6 double sided designs.  Find the current collections on pages 168-175 in the Spring-Summer Collection 2008 catalog. 

How can you win? 
Leave a comment on this post answering this question: 

What would you like to see on the Kween Bee Kreations blog? 

A winner will be randomly chosen on June 8th (8 pm CST) from the comments left here.  It's going to be hard to let go of my beloved paper, but I know it will be going to a good home.  Best of Luck!!

Thanks for offering blog candy! How about a 3D paper project or some type of gift idea?

I would gladly pay for retired DSP but to have a chance to win some is tooooo exciting! It took me a minute to think of what could possibly enhance your blog, but then I got it: I'd like to see MY NAME in your blog as the winner of some DSP et al.[lol] Seriously, I am so inspired by your blog that I wouldn't know what to suggest to improve it.

[jing]

ooh, blog candy!

i'd love to see some tutorials and color combo suggestions!

[Charlene]

Thanks for the opportunity to win some awesome "candy". We joke around here, though, that I wouldn't win even if I was the only one entered into ANY contest. LOL

Tutorials are always helpful for those of us who are artfully disabled but willing to learn. Blessings!

Wow...what a wonderful blog candy giveaway! I love your blog and love your creations...I really wouldn't change a thing! Just keep up the good work! {sMILES}

[Heather D.]

Ooh, great blog candy!

I'd love to see your take on sketch challenges and color challenges.

[Lauren Y.]

I second (third or maybe fourth) the idea of tutorial, or even a regular technique showcase will be great. Thanks for such a wondeful blog candy!

I just recently found your site and I think you are very talented. I love how you use your sets/papers in different ways. I'd like to see you do sketch/color challenges, but if you didn't change a thing that would be great too! Thanks for the chance to win!

[Kim S.]

I love your ideas! I've been watching you for some time now. I'd love to see more versality of the stamp sets...your cards are beautiful! I bet you'd make some awesome crafts as well! Are you up for the challenge??!! Thanks for the ideas and the chance to win...I do not currently own any DSP. From Kim S.

[Linda Wince]

To be honest, I think your blog is great!! I am so impressed with all your creations. Thanks for the chance to win!

[Kim]

Hey Kris
Believe it or not, I don't own any SU DSP yet? Just ordered Summer Picnic though :) I'd like to see you do a scrapbook page - get your aunt to join that challenge as well!! :) Thanks for the opportunity!

[JILL & Brian Hilliard]

I would love to see more projects like your fresh cut sets. you are very very very good!

Hello Kween Bee,

Looks like I am lucky number 13 to post!!

Your blog is FAB!! I'd say don't change a thing because it ALL looks good to me.

I blog-surf mainly for card ideas... be it for a layout idea or color combo.

The pics on your blog are a super good size and really catch the eye. The font and layout you use is also very easy to follow.

I also XOXOX how you focus on SU! products (makes me want more, more, more!!)

What could you add you ask????

I might like to try an EASY tutorial if you offered one.

THANKS for the op to win some really YUMMY blog candy!!

I love your blog! :) The one thing I would like to see more of is masculine cards. Thank you for all of you marvelous inspiration!

[Michele Quirk]

Thanks for a chance to win. I love your blog! Keep the tutorials coming. It keeps me inspired!!

[Ghazal]

What a great candy! I can never have enough designer paper!!
As I'm a newbie in stamping world, I'd love to see more tutorials on your blog.

[Anita]

I just found your site but love what I see. Your cards are so beautiful.

[Kelley]

I just found your blog from SCS and am so glad I did. Your work is wonderful! I'd like to see you do an amazing OSW. Something where the stamping is quick but once made into cards, looks likes a ton of time was spent on it. :)

[SmilynStef]

I just enjoy looking at all of your wonderful creations ... like the great spotlight cards you did for today's featured stamper challenge.

[Cindy W]

OMG!!! This is such an awesome candy..
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the DSP's and of all the blogs I've seen yours is the best as you offer so much inspiration to others.. I just wish we lived closer (I'm on the East Coast) so I could see your work up close..
If you were to change anything it would be to add more quick & simple cards like your (Tart & Tangy) as I'm sure many don't always have the extra time to create time consuming cards.. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing with your blog, it's amazing just like all your work..
PSS... Good Luck to everyone who enters this amazing contest...
