Thank You Card (2S4Y - Take 2) and Freebie Friday!

Today is the first Friday of the month which means a new Freebie Friday RAK! This month's RAK features a brand new stamp from Purple Onion Designs.  I was fortunate to have made it as a finalist for the Purple Onion Designs Creative Team, and it will be a challenge for me to have to wait for the news about whether I've made it on the team. However, whether or not I do, I 've enjoyed creating with the different stamp sets I was sent!  Their rubber stamps are high quality, unmounted, deeply etched designs, and they were fun to work with on my projects this week!

POD has just released a new set of stamps from The Living Room Floor. If you've never seen them before, you must check them out here. I love them and ordered almost all of the Noteblock designs. ;-D

Here's a card that I made using the Thank You Noteblock stamp and Kazan's sketch this week from 2 Sketches 4 You. I used VersaMark ink to stamp the "Thank You " portion onto the doily and then embossed it with mauve embossing powder.

Here's this month's Freebie Friday RAK.  I would like to personally thank Michele at Purple Onion Designs for providing the the Thank You Noteblock stamp. The RAK also contains a Making Memories paper pack, coordinating ribbons, trims and Prima flowers, plus I've included some die-cut dictionary pages so that the RAK winner can try making some dictionary flowers, too! :-D:

If you would like to be entered in the drawing for this RAK, all you have to do is leave me a comment on with a link to your favorite stamp set from Purple Onion Designs.  They have a great variety of alphabet stamp sets including this one designed by Stephanie Tafoya-Ackerman (from CK Heart and Home magazine). Some of my favorites come from the Vintage and Labels & Frames collections. With the holidays coming around the corner, don't forget to check out the holiday images including the Merriness set by Stephanie, too! It's so adorable, and I just had to have it (you'll be seeing projects featuring this set on my blog soon! :-D).

Don't forget that tomorrow is World Card Making Day, and I'll be posting a couple of prizes for those of you who participate in my challenges!. 
ETA: The deadline for the challenges will be next Saturday so that there will be time enough for more people to participate!.  :-)

Thanks for visting, and have a wonderful weekend! :-D
