Happy Thursday!!!

Only 1 more day until friday...wooo hooo...my peeps are taking me out to dinner and a chick flick and I'm really looking forward to it!!!

Today is my day over at 365 Cards...Pam's challenge for the day:

Setting the Scene

Create an indoor scene on your card.

I actually do have a couple furniture pieces and decided to go with my Memory Box chair and the fabbie chandelier image {from the magnificent Ann!}...perfect for my cozy den. It's tricky finding everything that is in the correct proportion....

I hope you join me in this challenge!!!!

Okay, on to Blog Candy Day #5:

Have you notice that each day there is a significance for what I'm offering up? Today is no different...It celebrates my love of owls, cupcakes, mushies (sorry they are hiding behind the cupcakes!) and the color green.

OMGoodness...don't you love that sweet Hambly owl notepad???

I'm giving away 3 new pkgs of Studio G stamps.

One brand new roll of Stampin' Up Wild Wasabi double stitched grosgrain.

You know the routine...leave me a comment...it is open until midnight Pacific Daylight Time. Internationals are welcome to join in the fun...I sent out a pkg to Morocco yesterday! I'll post the winner sometime tomorrow morning!

Have a super day!!!!

Love your card! It's so cozy :) I'm going to have trouble creating for this one...haha... I don't have 'indoor-themed' stamps :P

What a great card... you really rose to the challenge, Amy. Love the bg paper, the chair... the chandelier! Very cool.

I'm going to have to think outside the box for this one... no furniture or 'inside' stamps. We'll see.
