I just noticed that yesterday my blog hit the 10,000 views mark!!! Now, we are officially over 10,000 hits since I first started blogging back in August. That is seriously unbelievable! I really can’t believe that there have been over 10,000 times people wanted to read about my life and my work. I find it amazing and quite flattering. Thank you to everyone who reads what I have to say. To show my gratitude, I plan on giving out a bunch of goodies from Red Oak Lines to one lucky reader.
To play:
-Leave a comment to this post and let me know what you think of my blog by Jan 25th, 11:59pm.
-If you have a blog, please let others know about the RAK giveaway.
-If you have a blog, post your link. I want to make sure I visit yours as well.
For last RAK’s winner, I randomly drew a number. The winner to this RAK is KelsyC. Please shoot me an email at redoaklines@gmail.com, so I can send out a package of goodies to you.
On to some other scrapping news… Scrapstars is hosting a card challenge! You have to make a card using either a song title or song lyrics. I decided to use “Better Together” by Jack Johnson. Here was my take on the challenge:

Better Together Card
For the ladybugs, I just cut them out and inked some of my fingerprints on their backs. I thought they turned out pretty cute.
ROL Updates:
I posted some new items in the ROL Shop. Make sure to check it out! Here are a couple of the latest things:

Green Flowers

Mini Bunny Clothespin. These are great for Easter projects!
Also, ROL is looking for a guest designer!

I’m really excited about your new items in your etsy shop Sarah! I might have to stop by and pick up a couple things for my girlfriend, Phuong Tran. She loves to scrap. I might even try out as one of your guest scrappers. That would be so exciting.
