Sorry this is late ladies!! I knew I should have prescheduled this. Life happens and last night my sister came over with her boyfriend and we played a very long yet fun game of monopoly and I had one two many glasses of wine. Two glasses would have sufficed...at least that's what my head is telling me this morning. Anyhow here's what's up for grabs.

5) Two Sheets of 3Bugs Snips 'n Snails paper.
6) Five Sheets from the Fancy Pants Wildhearts Collection
7) FP Wildheart diecut sheet
8) Two Sheets of this beautiful butterfly paper. I believe it's MME.
9) One sheet of scrapbooking butterfly stickers.
10) Eight sheets of Stampin' Up! Delicate Dots dsp. 2 sheets of 4 designs.
11) Two Sheets of SU! Wild Wasabi textured cardstock
12) Two Sheets of SU! Soft Sky textured cardstock
13) Two Sheets of SU! dsp
14) Three full sheets of SU! cardstock quality stickers to match the above.
15) Side Stitched ribbon in Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky, and Blue Bayou

17) One beautiful yard of Purely Pomegranate ribbon. That's all I could part with.
18) New Pair of scissors
19) Old Olive Stamp pad
20) Stampin' Up! Hostess Set "Holiday Best"

1) What's your favourite tool, product, colour, etc. that you just couldn't live without?
2) What kind of advice would you give to new paper crafters/stampers?
Anyhow, please let everyone you know about my little celebration giveaway. I'll be posting my Card Patterns guest designer submission as soon as I can or you can just hop on over there and see it for yourself.

Thanks for this chance at a GREAT give away. My favorite cant live without item has to be "PAPER". I cannot get enough of it. I dont need a reason to buy it,,,I like it,,,I bye it. It is VERY bad !!! My family tells me I could stop buying paper today and still have enough for the rest of my life. My advice to a new scrapper, start small. You do not need to buy every item out there. Buy as you need it. Hope this answer's your questions.
ReplyDeleteHi Laural... I cannot live without my Magnolia's and my chalks to colour them! And my advice to newbies - discount stores, make-your-own and blog-land. So much inspiration, interperet what you like and make possible to make your own.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win some delicious paper!!
Wow! What fantastic candy!! I have several "can't live without" items...cuttlebug or Bigshot for embossing/die cutting; sewing machine, ribbon, buttons and quality paper (Papertrey Ink/Stampin' Up!). Advise for newbies? I agree with Loz, check out blogs and just go for it!! Also, as I did when I started out, I asked an expert about which ink colours to start with...oh, and kraft is the best neutral!! Along with hot pink!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your card over on Card Patterns -- you do such lovely work! My Cuttlebug is the tool I use most often, for diecuts and embossing. Love it! And paper is what I can never have enough of -- I'm addicted!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice blog you have and what tremendous candy you're offering. Fun!
Love your Blog and a chance to win candy....
ReplyDelete1. My Cricut- I love it...
2. There is no right or wrong way to do anything. Just let your imiagination take over. Get what you need when you need.
Thank you again.
Hi! Brand new follower here. Thanks for doing such a fantastic giveaway =) I think the tool I couldn't live without would be my scissors. I'm still new to this crafting thing so I don't have all the fancy tools that some people have. I also seem to put glitter on everything so that would be a product I couldn't live without. Since i'm still a newbie, I would say creativity and inspiration is really all you need when starting out (plus your basic supplies of course lol). I really didn't know that you could do so much with paper and stamps. Keep up the great work!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Laural-Lee! What a generous give-away! For me it would be ribbon (after paper, paper cutter etc.) I just love adding ribbon to my creations. As far as advice goes, pick a stamp and then pick some designer paper and some coordinating cardstock, then just start playing around. It's fun to look at other people's blogs, too, to get some good ideas. This includes yours, Laural-Lee1
ReplyDeleteHi there! Your Christmas card for Card Patterns is super cute! There are a couple things that I can't live without; pattern paper and ribbons. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteHi Laurel...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tools are punches at the moment. I have discovered some fantasic ones. As far as colors, I love the deep, rich colors of fall. Advise for newbies, take advantage of all the experience, advise and eye candy in the blogasphere. Lots of inspiration for everyone... Ruth
Holy guacamole! What a fabulous bunch of goodies! Your card is fabulous - the deer is too darn sweet. I don't think I could manage without my cuttlebug and nestabilities! They're a total lifeline for me. As for advice.....prepare to spend! LOL (And realize that they're just too many challenges out there to participate in EVERYTHING!) HAHA
ReplyDelete1 - I love working with bright, primary colors.
ReplyDelete2 - And as to new scrappers my advice is don't be afraid to try new things.

Hello Laura!

*I love to work with cute stamps... can't miss them! :)
*Good advice... just go on and do what you love to do... follow your own mind!!
sweet greetings,
Saskia :)
Thank you for a wonderful chance to win some goodies!! Couldn't live without my Cuttlebug for embossing and for my Nesties. Also love my paper cutter (guillotine style) and punches, and would not live long with out ribbon and brads/half pearls. Advice for the novice stamper: sketch challenges are a wonderful way to get going on a card, check out blogs, SCS etc. for inspiration and ideas and when you are in a rut, CASE a card to get you going.
ReplyDelete1. There's nothing like a pack of coordinating pretty paper!! I love paper! Oh, and I could not live without a GOOD paper trimmer (purple cow).
ReplyDelete2. The best thing about paper crafting/stamping is there's no wrong way to create. Don't be afraid to be yourself and have FUN!!!
Such a fun blog and such pretty, pretty paper goodies. You are a fantastic inspiration all around.
