Today I am celebrating the FIRST ANNIVERSARY of my Stamping Inspiration blog - WAHOO!!!
Wow, it sure does go by quickly - much of it is a blur! I want to thank all my supporters - my customers, my readers, my downline and upline, my friends with Stampin' Up! and most of all my family. I so appreciate the support you all have given me and could not have succeeded without you! I hope you get some enjoyment and "inspiration" from my blog.
In honor of the anniversary, I have done a little update of my blog appearance. I haven't been able to decide on a background though. I need your help! If you are a subscriber, please click through and check out my new design!
To celebrate, I will be giving away some BLOG CANDY!

I think I like the Baroque Motifs the best. I love that is uses both one of our stamp sets and the Beautiful Wings butterflies! Congrats on your first year of blogging!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogaversary!!
ReplyDeleteI love the background you are using right now but my second pick would have to be the black polka dots! :-)
Happy Anniversary. I enjoy following your blog. You have such nice ideas.
ReplyDeleteI truthfully like the current Baroque Butterflies. It is very classy looking.
Keep up the good work.
Happy Anniversary!! Congrats! I love your blog and I check it everyday! I love the melon mambo textured background...I am a huge fan of pink!! hehehe! Wishing you all the best in the years to come!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. I enjoy following your blog. You have some great ideas.
ReplyDeleteI really like the current Baroque Butterflies. It is very classy looking
Congratulations, Marie! Your blog is one of my favorite haunts. All of your designs are beautiful, but from a readability point of view I think the Melon Mambo side-bars help draw the eye into the columns on either side. As much as I love the butterflies and the Baroque Motif, I find them distracting next to things like the archive.
ReplyDeleteAloha,

Happy Blogversary! I must say that I like them all but my favorite is the Baroque with the butterflies. Congrats and thanks for sharing all your wonderful creations and for the chance to win your blog candy.

ReplyDeleteI'll admit it.....I'm a lurker!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your blog.
I started following in February (I think) when you had the tutorial for the flowers!
I like the dots, but I only see the top...not the sides! What's with that?
love your blog:) congrats on your anniversary! my favorite background is the mambo melon. it would be super fun if you could put the butterflies on top of that pretty color. then you'd have a combo of all three butterflies,fun color, and some polka dots!!!
