1. Congrats to the winner. Sad it is not me. I wanted to give this a try =) But I do have a crafty question. I figured that I would turn to you since your the QUEEN of crafts at least to me :0) I so love your projects and ideas. We just picked up a glass block from the craft store and some lights. Can’t wait to decorate it. But my question is about heat embossing. I seen a pen and bought it thinking and hoping that it works for heat embossing. It is the Glaze Gelly Roll pen. It says Great for embossing, embellishing and much more. I want to use the pen for adding extras to the stamp that i heat emboss and also for writing things myself and heat embossing them. So have you heard or used them before?

   1. I think I might be doing another Crop A Dile Big Bite give a way during my 7 days of give aways! Woo hoo!
      Oh, I love being your Queen of Crafts!! What an honor!! (Now, I need to keep working really hard so I don’t lose my title. 😉 )
      I don’t have any of the Glaze Gelly Roll pens, just the regular Gelly Roll pens. The Glaze Gellys aren’t meant (themselves) to work with heat embossing. Meaning, you don’t need heat on what you write with the pen in order for it to work. They are created to make raised impressions without heat or special embossing powders. I’m not sure if that answers your question or not. 😛 The pens look like a lot of fun and will certainly be useful, but I’m not positive they are what you’re looking for. You can use Marvy Wet Look Embossing Markers for embossing what you write. They work by using this 3-step process: Apply the Wet Looks Marker to paper, pour on clear or metallic embossing powder, and heat with a Heat Tool
      to a raised, shiny finish. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions. I’m happy to help…and if I don’t know…I’ll find out! 😉

2. I would really rather be your neighbor. Then the two of us could get really creative together. What one would not think of the other would……..lol Happy New Year and I am serious. Ar you sure you don’t want to come north and put up with the frigid temperature. I am going to start making some cards when i go to my daughters to send to the troops over seas. It is one of those things that I want to do. Maybe you could provide a link to there web site. I have it listed on my facebook account if you are interested other wise I can send it to you.

   1. Oh Marlene, sounds fun to craft together!! However, it’s 17 degrees here today and that doesn’t happen too often, but it’s sure too often for my Southern bones, LOL. I cannot imagine more frequent and even colder frigid temps that Northerners deal with!! YIKES!! I’ll look into the cards for troops. It sounds like a great program. Thanks!

3. Yay for the winner! Bummer that it wasn’t me! LOL! (it’s me daneandjami from the pond) I probably jinxed myself when I ordered one last week from Joann.com! 🙂

   1. LOL, you didn’t jink yourself! 😀 I’m glad you ordered one though. They are awesome!! Have fun with it. I just LOVE mine! 😉

4. Thanks for the reply…I have not tried the Gelly pens yet. I will have to look into those markers. Thanks for the help. I”m a little down…O wait a lot down because my cricut stop working. I am waiting for it to be shipped and they gave me a run around for a week at Cricut. So I finally talk to a lady again today and it is being shipped tonight. But will not get here till next week. I have a BIG Mickey and Minnie birthday bash for my daughter that will be turning 4 and my son that turns 1on the 22nd and party on the 23rd. I was going to make the invites and banners, etc…But now everything is on hold cuz I have no machine =( I am so sad. Also I was in the middle of making a calender. So no I am on hold till the machine arrives. I hope those Fed-ex ppl drive fast…LOL

   1. Oh, I hope your machine gets there fast too! There’s nothing worse than having to stop in the middle of an important project, especially when it’s due to a mechanical problem! Crossing fingers for a really speedy delivery! 🙂

5. Joy you are so generous! A Give Away A Day for a solid week?!! *bows* Awesome!!

   Oh, and I am the random winner!! Yeehaw! Super excited, I am grinning from ear to ear. lol

6. Joy, thanks so much for the chance to win a prize, not just one day but a whole week! Maybe I will get lucky and win a crop a dile big bite myself! 🙂 Hey, a girl can dream can’t she?? 🙂 Thanks again for the chance to win in your awesome give aways!

   1. You’re welcome Kim!! It’s my way of saying thanks to all the sweet folks here who follow my blog. 😀

7. Got my machine FINALLY Monday night. Spent 10 hrs making 21 invites to my kids birthday bash. Glad those are done. Simple but A LOT of work. I also found a embossing pen by ZIG at Michaels. It was $3.49. I can’t wait to try it out. I will let you know how it works. Hoping to find some GREAT stuff at the OC Scrapbook expo this weekend in CA =)

   1. Oh good! I’m excited to hear what you think about the Zig embossing pen. 🙂 And…your Scrapbook expo sounds like TONS OF FUN! I’m so impressed with your 10 hr 21 b’day invites. I bet they’re great and much appreciated. Sometimes it really surprises me how much handmade cards and invites mean to the people who receive them (or in this case…also the people whose occasion you made them for). It’s so fulfilling when you make things yourself and I’m just blown away when someone mentions that they like what I did. 😉 Happy you got your machine!! YAY!! 😀

8. Hello all! Joy – I just found your blog and I love it! I get so many great ideas and then I stay up WAY TOO LATE! My b-day is in Feb, too!! I love it! I also celebrate the whole month! Thanks for the chances to win, maybe I will get a birthday gift!! 🙂

   1. What?! Another Feb birthday month celebrator?!! 😀 Yay!! Woo hoo!! Happy almost birthday to us! 🙂
      I’m glad you found my blog and even happier that you like it! 😉 Thanks for registering. I’m so excited about doing the give a ways!
