I know I usually post about Digital Stamps but today I walked into CourtSide Basketball Center and what did I see? My logo huge on the wall! It was pretty exciting so I had to share. =)

 

And while I've already got your attention on logos- here is another recent favorite.

(Does anyone else has this problem in blogger where there it adds a grey background? Its frustrating...)

If interested in a logo of your own e-mail me at sami@adayfordaisies.com!

Challenge #012 and New Release: Spring Flowers!

oh Spring...ITS SPRING! The happiest time of the year.

When I was little, nearing the end of winter I would search every inch of our property until I found these sweet little white flowers. These flowers were always the first signs of Spring. You could stomp all over these tiny flowers and they would always, always pop back up. Every spring when I first saw these flowers I would ceremoniously dance on top of them with my arms stretched out and my face towards the sun. Then I would lay on my stomach and watch as they popped back up. These flowers were here to stay...and so was spring.

The next flower that would appear would be honey suckles. I would not dance on the honeysuckles for two reasons. One: They would not pop back up. Two: My sister Tammy (The owner of A Day For Daisies) told me that honey suckles were where fairies lived. And I fully believed her. I still tread carefully around honeysuckles...just in case.

Sunshine, warmth, flowers....I don't notice my winter blues until I feel that first ray of sunshine. Then all the sudden I get this burst of happiness that I just can't believe I hadn't missed before. And all I want to do is play outside, under the sun!

Happy Spring everyone! Wake up with me from winter and enjoy this happy weather! (I'm living in California now so I'm experiencing spring a little earlier than I usually get to. I sure hope your weather is nice- if its not, I hope it warms up for you soon.)

Announcing Sami Stamps Challenge #010 Winners and Other Prizes!

Woah! Is it March already!? I'm right smack dab in the middle of potty training and has resulted in something very similar to "pregnancy brain." Busy following a squirmy little boy with disinfectant spray, rushing him off to the bathroom, holding aside his cape while he does his business, and now I'm late to announce February's Challenge Winners!

The winners of Sami Stamps Challenge #010: Add A Touch Of Glitter are:

First place:

Carla Suto!

What a beautiful card all around! Carla used Sami Stamps image "Winter Cocoa" and the coloring of the image is exquisite! The glitter is perfect, the overall color scheme flows very well, the layout is beautiful, and I just love the splashes of white and gold framing the image. 

Second Place: 

Carol Dee

Carol also used Sami Stamps "Winter Cocoa." Simple and clean and beautiful! The soft overall feeling of this card blends well with the soft hues Carol colored the image with. The image is colored so very well! 

 I just love all the entries so much (And because we have had no little boy accidents today-I am in a particularly good mood) I have decided to add a third place!

Third Place goes to:

Monica!

Monica chose to use Sami Stamps Image "On Your Arm." I just love the dress! It was a nice touch to add some glitter to the flowers in the background to balance out the glitter dress. Plus daisies are the way to my heart! Wonderful card Monica!
