Its sad but true

today Corey or I would have scheduled this post and throughout the day, we would be adding our designers images to a challenge post, but not this Sunday.  I am happy and sad all at the same time, but enjoying the "freedom" of not having to do it.

I just wanted to again thank everyone for their dedication to UYS.

Reminder that we need more posts here  Ill pick a winner and get it mailed to the lucky winner. 

Have a great Sunday

Corey: "this layout has to be my favorite. it sums up my life with one picture and one word."



Kimmie: I have very few layouts that i consider my favorite. I love this one because i used so many different elements and products on it. This photo rocks too!

Would you like to win a RAK? **Edited***

I had to move into a smaller area so that means less stuff....lol  So heres how it will be.....1 comment per person and spread the word.  The more comments the more stuff. I have a huge box of gently used or new items to give away....and theres a lot AND i still haven't gone through my paper.  Theres anything from rubons to chipboard and there might be paper if i can get time to go through it before it closes.


Heres what will happen

1-30 comments will be an envie of stuff
30-50 will be a box
50 and over will get you a flat rate priority box...jam packed with as much as i can fit in there.


Due to shipping costs this will be open to US only...but i do have a small envie just for you international girls.  I will set aside some stuff to ship to you!  So please comment and pass the word.



TY all for your dedication to UYS...Corey and I greatly appreciate it.


Contest will close on Nov 30 and i will announce a winner on Dec 1st by random draw, and your box will be mailed by the 15th of December.  Think of it as an early "holiday" for all of you


**EDITED***


***IF THERE ARE MORE THAN 100 COMMENTS, I WILL DO 2 FLAT RATE BOXES FOR U.S.****

New Site to venture to

Good morning stash users.  We had Kathy approach us in an email with the idea of "taking over" the stash blog.  We said what a fantastic idea, so Kathy will be taking over things after November. 

Here is the link to her blog that will explain everything and when her challenges start.

My blog is:  The Scrappinpsycho - News from the Asylum - the link is http://scrappinpsycho.blogspot.com/

**Disclaimer**  Corey and I WILL NOT be affiliated with this blog.  I agree'd to help Kathy out to get started but it was her blog, her challenges, her call.......***

Your Monday Challenge 11/2

Today's challenge is to use White cardstock and bling/stickles. Easy peasy right? seems easy...lol (yes you can use whatever else you want but the background must be white and must have bling)




Here's what our girls did

Patti's gorgeous card




Jans beautiful card:


Jen made this simple/cute card....love it



Kimmie made this cute layout of her sons love for Littlest Pet Shop



Corey embossed her white cardstock and added bling to the center of the flowers:




Kimmie here: Ty all for your well wishes. Please be sure to bookmark my personal blog for a future RAK! It will be this month, just not sure when.


Corey and I were approached about someone using this concept in another blog. As soon as we get a link for that blog, we will share the link.

**Please Read***

Good morning all stash users. Due to lack of participation and just plain busyness of Corey and I ,we have decided to close down the blog. November will be our last month of challenges. We will keep the blog up so you can get what you need off of it until January when we will delete it. We really didn't want it to come to this but appreciate everyone sticking by us for the year and a half that we have had this blog. We have met a lot of friends, and hope to make more in the future. Please leave us a link to your blog so we can bookmark it to keep in touch. Again, TY all for supporting us in this adventure! Hope to "see" you around.


~Kimmie and Corey
