Happy ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY to me!!!

That's right I totally can't believe it. I have been blogging, crafting regularly, and meeting amazing people for one year. I have been having a blast and cannot wait to celebrate many more anniversaries.

psst....be sure to scroll down for the giveaway! You can't have a blogoversary without a giveaway!!

Later today I will post April's monthly kit reveal. But for now I have a card to share with you that I created for the sketch challenge over at The Sweetest Thing, Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 109. I had so much fun making this card once I won the battle against my printer. See I bought a digi kit from Two Peas called Easter Garden from Hero Arts. I was having a heck of a time getting my printer to print the image right. I was using a program called Inkscape, I use it to vectorize images to use with my SCAL but I can also use it for other things and I was having a really hard time getting it to work in my favor. Alas, many pieces of printer paper later, I WON THE BATTLE!! LOL! Anywho, I first saw this digi kit being used on Lucy Abrams' blog and I immediately fell in love. I have seen some of her video tutorials before but I am not sure I ever visited her blog. Thank you to Abby for linking to her blog. I am IN LOVE with Lucy's work. Since Kraft is my absolute favorite and Lucy uses Kraft in a lot of her work, I was immediately inspired.

So I bought the digi kit and used the following sketch.



The pattern paper I used is from Echo Parks Springtime collection. That collection is so bright and colorful, I just LOVE it!

Ok, now for the fun stuff!!! THE GIVEAWAY!!!! I want to thank everyone that visits my blog, all the friends that I have met online, my kit subscribers and ESPECIALLY my wonderful Design Team. Without any of you there would have been no reason to keep posting, to make the monthly kits or to have these wonderful giveaways. Every day I look forward to sitting down at the computer with my cup of coffee and reading all the crafty blogs. I have learned so much over the year and I am excited about all the new stuff I will learn in years to come. As most of you will agree the crafting world has some of the most wonderful people!

**edit - This giveaway is open to international crafters, I would just ask if you win that you cover the shipping charges**

Ok, enough of that for now, lol! You guys want the giveaway details. Ya ready for it?????? Who would like a 3 month subscription to Artful Delight's kits? Anyone? Well that is what is up for grabs. Oh yeah! So now I want to make sure that EVERYONE can participate so there are a few additional details, if you are already a subscriber you will have your choice of getting refunded for the 3 months or a box of goodies, to include many collection packs from your choice of manufacturers and if you are on the DT and you win you will get that box of goodies with your choice of manufacturers. Does that make sense?
