I wanted to take the time to thank each and everyone one of you for all your truly beautiful comments on my creations, you have no idea how much it means to me to see the wonderful comments each time I post about my creation, it warms my heart when I read every comment. Your support and encouragement inspires me to create more and I hope that inspires you also to take that little time to create something also. Thank you, thank you, thank you one in all.
As a thank you I am offering a little blog candy up for grabs and also the card below that I have created that was inspired by my sweet friend Jennifer McGuire. There are lots of goodies in this sweet package, in order to have a chance at winning, leave me a comment by Friday 14th January, 11.59pm (Australian Time), telling me what your favourite Hero Arts stamp was for 2010 and why? Also add the photo to your blog, linking back to mine so that everyone has a chance of winning.
I will be sharing my favourite stamp on Saturday 15th January and also the winner of blog candy, so be sure to check back in.
Here is the card that I created for the blog candy and a thank you also! As something a little different I am going to leave this card to your imagination, but if you wish to know how I created this card, I have added a little tab at the top of my blog which says Ask Me Questions, so now if you wish to ask me something you can. Much easier then asking me through the comments section, sometimes that is hard for me to return the answer.
Thank you everyone once again, I look forward to reading all of your comments.
Hugs!

I get to go first yeah!!!! My favourite stamp from Hero Arts in 2010 was the Poppy - in all it's varieties... both the wood stamp silhouette and the clear set with the two poppies (both of which I have) and the single wood poppy. Just loved all the cards made with them. It is so versatile.

Joy the candy is too cool and your card is beautiful i have just made a hero arts order and can't wait for my goodies to come LOL i love the 2010 large cupcake stamp it's just a shame you cant eat the stamped images as it looks yummy, i used this stamp to make invites for my stamp club where we ate cupcakes LOL

I don't actually have any Hero Stamps but it was through Jennifer McGuire's blog that I found yours and immediately added it to my feeds. One of the stamps that always catches my eye is Large Flower CG134 because it is seems so versatile and that would be the one I would buy if I saw it in my lss.
Thank YOU for the inspiration that you give all of us readers!
My current favorite hero arts stamp is the Flowing flowers and leaves stamp...apart from this one I love the cloud stamp and the plaid background...they are just versatile and gorgeous.

Happy Blog anniversary, Joy! Your blog is such a wonderful, rich source of inspiration - I will happily post the picture & a link on my blog & appreciate the chance to win! My favorite Hero Arts stamps of 2010 are a tie between the Friend Definition & Poppy Background CG140 (are these both 2010 stamps??). These stamps got me into stamping in the first place and will always have a special place in my heart!

My favourite stamp this year was the Wreath of Leaves. I used it on my Christmas cards - after admiring it for months on everyone else's blog, I finally bought one for myself.
Love your work Joy, and I'm especially enjoying the tour of your craft room. Can I borrow Darryl for a couple of weeks? He's AWESOME!
Well Happy Blog Anniversary!! I've not been reading for a year but I have been so totally inspired by you and your work, Joy. This newest card is no exception-that flower is gorgeous!

My favorite Hero stamp of 2010 is the Magical Background stamp (cling)...it truly makes a card look 'magical'! It's lovely.

Hi Joy! I just became a suscriber after viewing your WONDERFUL work. Look forward to receiving LOTS of inspiration from you..I am so impressed! My fav HA stamp is the "Friendship cling". I use it a lot!
Happy Blog-iversary!!! I have enjoyed your blog so much this past year! I think I started reading about 2 months after you started. I remember writing to you to see if there was more that I was missing? I had already gone through the archives and I wanted MORE! lol!
I don't have a blog to post this to, but just wanted to say 'thanks' for all the hard work bringing this blog to us!
(just in the event I'm not disqualified, I would have to say my favorite stamp from 2010 was the magical background. especially embossing it in white and then using distress inks and a blending tool all around the edges. i did this on my christmas cards and they came out really well!)
Happy blog Anniversary--I came here from tiffguam.com and like what I see. Hard to pick a favorite stamp but I will pick Garden Bouquet. I bought it after seeing a beautiful card Jennifer McGuire made with it.
Hi, Joy! I just found your blog a month or so ago and I loved your beautiful cards from the start. Happy blog anniversary to you! My favorite stamp from 2010 is the wreath of leaves. I didn't own it; but am eagerly awaiting my recent Hero Arts order which includes the wreath. Will put your button on my blog this morning. Would LOVE to win those goodies - thanks for the opportunity!
Congrats on your blog anniversary, and thanks for the amazing giveaway! To be honest I love ALL of the Hero Arts stamps but don't have any yet! I really want to purchase the ring of leaves and some of their new stuff (I have a wishlist on simon says stamp!) Thanks again and I'll be sure to pass along the goodness! =D
Hi, Joy! I just found your blog a month or so ago and love all of your beautiful cards! My favorite stamp from Hero Arts in 2010 is the wreath of leaves. I didn't own it but am eagerly awaiting a recent HA order which includes that wreath. Congrats on your blog anniversary - would love to win those goodies! Thanks for the opportunity!
Happy Blog Anniversary Joy! Your card this morning is just so beautifully feminine! Love the pastel colours and embossing! That flower is so beautiful! You are too kind with your blog candy, it all looks so awesome! Love your butterflies! Which is why the HA Antique Engravings set is my absolute favorite from 2010!
Off to my blog to go and post a link back to yours! Thank You!
Hello! I'm so glad I just found your blog! I love your projects! Consider me a new fan.
It's tough to pick a Hero Arts favorite. I've loved the large background stamps and the new collage images (like the Musical Collage).
Thanks and hugs,
lise
Congratulations, Joy on your one year Anniversary!
I have truly enjoyed all the inspiration that you
provide on your blog. Choosing a favorite Hero Arts stamp is really difficult-- I have so many favorites! One of my favorites from 2010 would
have to be Garden Bouquet because not only is it
lovely but it is very versatile.
There were so many background stamps from Hero Arts, like the Friend Definition, script and magical... I love all of them. Tks for sharing your card it really is quite striking!
Happy Bloganniversary! Constant inspiration here!
My favorite Heros Art stamp was the poppies. I dont have it but its adorable. I do have the cupcake set not 2010 but its one of my all time favorite sets.(only have 3)lol.
Anyway Happy blogaversary ! I came here from looking at a friends blog, and I must say I love your site! I sure do have my fingers crossed for this prize =)
Oh my, what a FABULOUS card!! I have so MANY HA favourites that I couldn't choose just one, but I must say the silhouette stamps (ALL of them!) in my happy room get a LOT of use...so quick and simple! HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!!
My favorite Hero Arts stamps are always the Background Stamps----love them and use them all the time!---I especially like dots, lines, woodgrain, text....
Happy Blog Anniversary!Thanks for the inspiration that your blog provides. My favourite stamp for 2010 was the Poppy Background. I used it with the Tim Holtz distress inks and just loved the result. Margaret K.
Happy blog anniversary Joy! Love your card you created for today- the embossing on the BG is fabulous. It is really hard to choose just one favorite Hero Arts stamp from 2010....but it has to be the friends definition Bg stamp- it's so easy to make a great BG with it and use for other things as well. Thanks for a years worth of inpsiration and the chance to win some wonderful blog candy!
God bless- Anne

Happy Blog Anniversary!! I can't believe you've only been blogging for a year Joy.. your site is so professional looking, it looks like you have been doing this for a long time.
My favourite Hero Arts stamp for 2010? I would have to say the Musical Background stamp. I am using this stamp all the time, and not just on Christmas cards. With in laws who all love music, this stamp will be perfect for birthdays as well :)
Happy Blog Anniversary. I just love your card. My favorite HA stamp from 2010 is the Music Background stamp. Thanks for a chance to win you yummy candy.
Happy happy anniversary! Hmm... my favorite Hero Arts stamp has to be the CL449 Delicate Blossoms. I don't think I've done one card with them that I haven't really liked.

Happy happy Blog Anniversary! I so love visiting your blog everyday and getting all the HA inspiration!! My favorite stamp from 2010 is Garden Bouquet, even though I don't own it yet! LOL! Such a gorgeous stamp!
I'd love to win these lovelies just for those colored butterflies! I don't even have to think about my favorite stamp of 2010 - it's the Hydrangea. I love that it's realistic, can be colored in or just stamped using colored inks, can be stamped in a collage or on white paper and colored, can be embellished or not - it works for all occasions.
I'll spread the word about your candy on my blog - Happy Anniversary, Joy, so glad that you're part of the Hero flickr family!
Congratulations on your blog anniversary:))Thanks for the chance to win this candy!! Beautiful;)
*hugs-Peninia
I just love the texture and elegance of this card Joy and big congrats on your blogaversary!I think my fave stamp is the Flourish Background. It's just so versatile and looks great on any card.
My favorite Hero Arts stamp for 2010 is the Friend Definition stamp. I used it over and over last year, and especially enjoyed it when I was making baby shower invites for the arrival of my god-daughter Leah Camille. So much fun making all 65 of them.
Happy Anniversary Joy! Where did the time go!? It is hard to believe it has been a year. I have seen so many wonderful things happening with you around this craft and all so deserving...your creations, every one of them, are amazing and you are such a sweet and wonderful person - so happy for you :)
Your card above is gorgeous...what a wonderful card it would be to have :) So many beautiful details and touches!
I would have to say the flourish is my favorite stamp, it is so versatile. I love the way it flows...
I hope I'm not disqualified for being blogless...maybe one of these days when I am able to spend more time (and have a place to keep my things out, lol) with this wonderful hobby that I love.
Hugs to you!
Jenny (Jenifer Ann)

congratulations on your blog anniversary, Joy! thanks for sharing your talent with us. i adore the gorgeous card, love the clean design and colors. fabulous work!
My favorite Hero is one of the big flowers...or maybe the one with the poppies in the background. They both can be used in so many ways and with so many colors, embossed, shaded! Just fun to see how many things you can do with one stamp. Congrats on one year anniversary and MANY more.
Happy Blogversary! My favorite Hero Arts stamp is CL439.
I don't actually have any Hero stamps (yet!) but I love the flowers I have been trying to decide which one(s) to get. Congrats on the anniversary!

Every Saturday morning before the rest of my family wakes up, I spend some happy time seeing what's new on my favorite craft blogs... Yours is the first on my list, you always have something lovely to show me! My husband is however not so happy that I found your blog, he is tired of my showing him all the wonderful storage pieces your partner has created for you! I'm still waiting for him to jump on board.
Thank you so much for sharing!
My favorite Heroarts stamp this year would have to be the "Friends Definition" stamp.
Till next Saturday!
Sandy

What a great giveaway!
My favorite stamp was the hippo with the bird on it's back. I had to kind of 'grow into it', but now I'm using it for everything. I've put hats on it for Christmas, tied a Happy newyear banner to it's tail and so on :)
Love, sarah
First of all I must say that I love your blog. So much inspiration and wonderful things to look a.
My favourite Hero Art stamps, hard to find one because I love them all, but I think it is a tulip.
The stamps are very hard to find in Sweden and I hope some webshop will take home some more.
Greetings from Sweden/Gunilla
I love my Birds and owls set of 3 stamp set! Seems as though birds and especially owls were very big for 2010. Thanks so much for this opportunity and sharing your talents with us!

Happy 1st Blog Anniversary! Thank you for sharing this past year. I check your blog every morning. You have me thinking seriously about blogging myself. Best wishes for many more years!
I love HA background stamps and big flower cling stamps. But this year my favourite is the Wreath of Leaves and not just for Christmas cards. ;-)
The stamp with straw is my favorite because I love nature.
My hands down favorite stamp is the dotted background cling stamp. I always get a great result and don't have to spend as much on printed paper with this stamp in my collection.
Thanks for the chance to win this great give away!! Love you blog and cards!

I'm not sure how new they are but I love Friendly Flags and Bird Trio... with a dash of Joy Ride for good luck. :) Happy Blogiversary and thanks for the chance!

I own two sets of Hero arts stamps! That's all, but hands down if I have been in love with a HA stamp, it has to be the Magical background cling stamp..its just beautiful..Thanks so much for wonderful inspiration the whole year through, and hoping to be inspired by you in the year to come!!

Happy Blog-anniversary!
I've only just started my crafting blog but around this time next year I hope to celebrate my one year anniversary. :)
My favourite Hero Arts stamp set is "Tree, Birds and Messages" because it's so versatile. I've used it loads.
Happy Anniversary. This is my first visit-found you on Moxie fab world. Your cards are beautiful!! I don't actually own any Hero Arts but our local scrapbook store has just started carrying them so I will have to give them a try. That flower card is just gorgeous!!
Happy Anniversay Joy! I read your blog every day. My favorite Hero Arts stamp for 2010 has been the wreath of leaves. So versatile and elegant, I love it. You have also done beautiful things with it.
Congratz on your 1 yr anniversary.
It was hard to pick, but I think my fav stamp from 2010 is the bold flourish. I find myself using it year round, plus I just LOVE flourishes!
LOVE your inspirational blog, Joy! Congrats on your bloganniversary! I find myself reaching for all the HA background stamsp as I can't stamp without them! Keep up with your awesome work!
Just got reminded of your lovely give-away on the HA blog! Happy Blog anniversary Joy and hope this year will bring many more inspired cards our way!
Happy blogaversary! I just recently found you--so glad I stopped by! I do not have this stamp---but I love that clouds background one. Super cute! Actually all Hero Arts stamps are fabby:)

Hi JOY! I always love to hop over to your blog to look at ur cards because they are so awesome! I love how they are simple, but yet still outstanding :)
You;ve set a hard question! because i love almost all the hero arts stamps! If I were to choose one, that will be the heart-winged butterfly. Because it's so versatile that it can be used on cards for many many occasions :D
Thank you for this blogcandy!
Cheers!
Pepper
long time lurker, first time commenter (we all come out of the woodwork when there's prizes up for grabs huh?). Love your cards, you are always so inspiring to me. I have to admit that 2010 was a year where I made the most cards but did the least stamping (in an attempt to diminish my massive collection of papers, chipboard & alpha stickers!). But one Hero Arts stamp I loved & used a lot was the "Make Your Own" cling - these stylish ladies suited so many projects for the many ladies in my life who really do make their own fashion & it was a great stamp for paper piecing & coloring. Anyhow, enough from me, thanks for the chance to win.
Thanks so much for this chance to win.
My favorite HeroArts stamp of 2010 has to be the Background Cling Dots stamp. It's so versitile!!!!
Congrats on one year! My favorite HA stamp set from 2010 must be the Four Dolls clear stamp set, as I'm able to do so many fun things with it =)
Time sure flies doesn't it? And I don't even have a blog. For shame, I do not have any Hero Arts stamps, I found your blog, Jennifer McGuire and Shari Carroll. You all do amazing things with your paper crafting! Now that Christmas is past, I have to concentrate on a May wedding and cringe at the thought of the cost of it and it will be very limited at that. But for example, I spent 30.00 on a handful of fabric and a few ribbon roles, which are minimal to the big things. LOL But I will have to have the Friend defintion background stamp.
How generous of you to share all that good crafting stuff! Congrats on your blog-a-versary! I catch your blog in my google reader.. always nice to see new posts!
Happy Blogaversary!!! My Favorite Hero arts stamps was the Frightful clear stamps love the halloween theme.

Just love, love, love what you've done with flowers from Hero.
Happy Blogaversary!!! So glad you are blogging, because I love seeing all your creativity! You inspire me!
Unfortunately I don't have any Hero Arts stamps, yet... so I checked out the website, and I would love to try out the "Friendly Flags" set to make some cute cards with banners!!!
Happy Blogaversary! I have the "wonderful birthday" stamps and love to make cards when we go to birthday parties of my son's friends and also i love the "flourish background" which i use a lot with clear or white embossing... i am planning to by a few more (prince charming is in my plans and butterflies as well)
Good morning from Greece.
Happy Blogaversary, Joy! Thanks for the lovely candy!
My favorite stamps for 2010 are F5444 Baby Reindeer and CL389 Mi Casa. I really love the baby reindeer from the first time it was posted on Hero Arts main page header. I just fall for it charming. While the Mi Casa set I like it as it brings me a lot of inspiration of family togetherness. However, I am yet to any of these due to budget constraint. :(
Anyhow, I am glad I am able to join candies that offered by kind people like yourself so that I can collect all sort of stamp sets!

Wow! a beautiful card. I have just ordered the stencil flower stamp and can't wait to try using it. It was a clever idea to cut out the matching leaves too. I eagerly await your next entry.
congrats on your 1st year. I just added you to my favorites. Iam glad I found you. Keep up the good work. My favorte was the musical notes.
Congratulations, Joy, on your anniversary! Thank you for all the inspiration. Please don't include me in the drawing for the goodies; I am blessed with abundance!
Hi Joy, Happy Blog Anniversary. Thanks for inspiring me with your beautiful cards and videos. With our mutual love of Hero Arts Stamps, I called you "our Australian version of Jennifer McGuire" and haven't you gone ahead in leaps and bounds?...You so deserve the accolades.. You told me I needed to start a Blog, so I finally bit the bullet, http://barbsnofrillcards.blogspot.com/
One of my favourite Hero Arts Stamps, (if I really have to pick one, would be: "Heart Owls"...They're so cute, and so versatile to use on most types of cards from baby, birthday, engagement, weddings or just to say I'm thinking of you. X fingers and good luck with your continued recognition of your fabulous talent.
Joy, what a stunning card, congratulations on your 1 year blog'sversary (is that really a word?)
Forgot to say which was my favorite stamp of 2010 from our friends at Hero Arts, tough call because I love them all, but the large flower cling (used in your card) is one I reach for often as it is so easy to create a quick card with.
Congratulations on the blog anniversary!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love many of the HA stamps but I think my favourite of 2010 goes to the Starburst Lace. It's so versatile! Love it!
Happy Blog anniversary, Joy! Your blog is a wonderful.

Joy I have really enjoyed getting to know you this year in our HA group and being inspired bye your work really has helped me. Congrats on your anniversary here. My fav. stamp this year past was the friend definition. I love it so much. It really does add that special touch to every card and the descriptions of the meaning of friendship are so great to read when used on a stamped card background. I did share your blog candy on my blog and you can check it out at
http://www.relivingtomorrow.blogspot.com/ Thanks Joy. I am giving away some blog candy too if your interested. Best wishes sweetie for another wonderful year. Hugs.
Can't believe you have only been blogging for one year! I do so enjoy visiting your blog and seeing your beautiful creations. As for my favorite Hero Arts stamp for 2010, it's a toss up between Merry Christmas Trees and Music Background. Don't think I can narrow it down any more than that! LOL! Thanks for the generous blog candy and again, congratulations!!!
Happy! Happy! Although I just stumbled across your blog recently, I am loving all the beautiful things you create. I am awed and inspired. Thanks Joy!
Such a beautiful card! Today is the first day I have been to your blog, and now it is on my Favorites list. My favorite Hero Arts stamp from 2010 is Classic Messages. Thank you for sharing your creations!
Joy, congratulations on your bloganniversary! (And what a wonderful blog it is, too!) Your card is absolutely beautiful, and your give-away is very generous. Best wishes for many more years to come of happy, crafty blogging!
congratulations on your blog-0-versary! I spent most of last year in bed to ill to craft much and did not get to use my stamps but one day a friend stopped by with a child. While we talked I could tell the child was antsy to leave. I stamped a couple of images and let her color them in. She had a great time and wanted to stay longer. Before she left she gave one of the images she had just colored "to make me feel better" she said. I gave her a piece of tape and she stuck it on my wall. It is still there and I smile every time I notice see it. It is the large butterfly from the antiques Engravings clear set. From now on, one of my favorite stamps. Oz
