TECHNO TAKE-OUT (blog candy) with a bonus for 150 comments


Well, while I was fooling around with classes last night my counter hit 10,000 hits! I am amazed at this since I just gave away something for 5,000. Thanks to all of you who visit my blog and a super special thanks to all that leave me comment. There are many of you who send me private e-mails in stead of posting your comments on the blog and that is fine! It makes a girl feel good to hear that someone enjoys her work. As I have said in previous posts not only do I love to give stuff away, but I generally buy too much of everything that I buy, lol. Well, I now have a solution for this. I am giving away 10 alterable items. One for each thousand hits! And as a special bonus I will add a customer direct order for the winner's choice of designer paper frompages 171-173 of our current Stampin Up! catalog if I get over 150 comments. So tell you friends to come over and check it out. You only need to leave a comment letting me know what your favorite technique is and maybe a link or short description if needed. For those of you that don't know the Techno in my blog name is really short for Techniques because I love them.

List of items in give away.
1. Clipboard
2. A 3 and 1/2 by 3 and 1/2 solid wood block.
3 and 4. Two mini tins that I used to create those magnets in this post.
5. A mini rectangle tin.
6. A mini Paper Mache Circle Box.
7. A package of two large clothes pins from Creative Imaginations.
8. A jumbo chipboard flower from Making Memories
9. A plain white pencil box.
10 A Mead composition book

BONUS: your choice of designer paper from the current SU catalog pages 170-173 delivered directly to you from SU. This is only added if I get over 150 comments. Please only comment once. But do send over all your friends so we can get over the 150 mark. I will leave this open untill Friday 28th at 11:59pm EST. Thanks.

    My favorite technique would be hard to pcik because I have been a chicken and haven't tried a lot of new ones. I guess technically embossing is a technique and I do love to emboss so I guess that would be my answer. Yeah embossing. That's it. :)

AND - it is so satisfying to watch the EP melt and raise up. Lastly - instantly dry for watercoloring with the Aquapainter and Watercolor Wonder Crayons - my second favorite technique. Juli

    I love the techinque where you use versaink and stamp your image, then use a brayer in any color and brayerer over it .

    My favorite technique is using a die-cut machine to cut Flexi-Foam, then coating the Flexi-Foam with Stampin' Up Crystal Effects and covering the Crystal Effects with glitter. After that is dry, cover it again with Stampin Up Crystal Effects. It makes a very cool embellishment!

    Great blog!!! My favorite technique right now is scratch and sniff cards, where you use scented sugar free powder mixed with clear embossing powder on a card. I have been doing pumpkin spice with Carved and Candlelit and making some fab cards. Smells so yummy for fall! I also love watercoloring on watercolor paper, distressing, making 3D items from cardstock, and altering just about
    everything.
