200 Followers....

Click HERE for the SMChallenge blog hop

WOW - Thank you to everyone for making the SMC challenge blog a fun and wonderful experience. Jeri is usually the one to put the posts here, so please be patient with me-she is on a much needed break but will be back shortly- As promised, I have a coupon code to give out for getting up to 200 followers! What an honor!!!! So here it is: 200FOLLOWERS

Make sure to apply the coupon prior to checking out and that it applied to your total. The coupon is good for 45% of your total purchase and will be valid through next Sunday. Don't forget, if you spend $10 or more in the store, you get a free bonus pack and it changes tomorrow for the month of February. The new set will be birthday related. Because the system will not allow for both coupons, once your order comes through, I will send the bonus pack separate, and this can take up to 24 hours, but usually I am able to get them through within minutes.

Sew, check out the SMC store and be sure to join the challenges we have every Friday for your chance at some great prizes and fun!

Now on to this weeks challenge!!

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by STAMPS ALIVE
Terri has this to share with you...
I started my business in 1993 to give me something to do. I had worked all my life and recently quit to be a stay at home mom to my new baby. I've always been interested in paper products and I didn't like paying full price for some of the things I wanted. So I started my business. I like to pass my savings on to others. I've made some really good friends over the years. I've always been a small business I only advertise word of mouth. Over the years I've kept as busy as I wanted to be.
It has been very interesting to see the hobby industry change over the years. I had a "scrapbook" store in my basement before Las Vegas knew what a scrapbook store was. I've dealt with Provo Craft the entire 17 years I've been in business and that has been fun, to watch them change!! The Cricut Messageboard has allowed me to expand my business but still do it "word of mouth". I'm so happy to be sponsoring Sew Many Challenges this week and hope that you'll check out all my great items I have to offer on my blog at some really great prices!! I'm on my way to CHA this weekend to bring you all back even great prices to all the new releases you've seen being talked about!! So be sure to keep a watch out on my blog for all the new information.Right now I have some of the new release cricut cartridges and cuttlebug embossing folders available for awesome prizes!! Be sure to check out Stamps Alive!!
Terri
This week Terri is donating a Cuttlebug Combo Folder name DAMASK($15 value) to the winner of this weeks challenge!!

This weeks challenge is ANYTHING GOES!!!
That means break out all your techniques, sketches and colors and use them to your hearts content!! Please use Mr. Linky below to submit your entry!



We would love to see you use a Sew Many Cards image in your challenge


This week I think it's only right that our Showcase Spotlight be the creator and owner of Sew Many Cards that gives us all these awesome images that you'll be seeing here at Sew Many Challenges! Lets learn a little bit about Angela and check out one her awesome creations below!!
ANGELA DOESCHER

My name is Angela and I own Sew Many Cards. I have a husband, an almost 10year old daughter, a two year old son, and a dog/puppy: Hershey. The images of Sew Many Cards came from a dream that my husband had of a group of animals that were "SEWN Together" with patches and stitching, hence the name, which he also came up with. You will find that every image in the Sew Many Cards collection has patches and stitching, even the ones that are not animals. I love to draw and almost every image is either an inspiration from my family or a request from my great customers and design team, so please ask if you need something specific or would like to request something be made. You can contact me at
angela@sewmanycards.com
