Paper Secrets May Challenges and Events

The May challenges have been posted on Paper Secrets. You’ll find an awesome layout sketch, a manufacturer challenge (this month, it’s Glitz), card sketch w/a twist (the twist is to use bare chipboard on your card and alter it some way), and a stash challenge (rubons). Once I’ve had a chance to resize the photos, I’ll post examples for the challenges here on my blog.

In honor of National Scrapbook Day (NSD) we’re also hosting a wonderful event:

Please mark your calendars for the upcoming NSD event on May 7th, so you don’t miss out! πŸ˜€ There will be some fun challenges, prizes and BINGO, so be sure to stop on by next Saturday to play along! Hope to see you there!

Entries for the giveaway are now closed

It’s a little past midnight, so entries for the giveaway are now closed (it’s technically now May 1st here). The winner announcement will be made later today. In the meantime, please take a few moments to check out my dear friend Marie’s online store:

Firefly Expressions is an overstock and clearance center that offers items at 50% off retail or better! Now, you won’t find the latest releases on this site, but they do have fabulous products at exceptional prices. πŸ˜€ If you want great quality papers and embellishments to work with at reasonable prices (and some jump for joy prices) then be sure to stop by and see what she has to offer! Another perk…orders over $50 in the US receive FREE SHIPPING! For now, ignore the portion on her home page that says there’s a blog (it’s not active!), but she’s working on that, so hopefully it’ll be up soon.

DT Announcement and Birthday Giveaway!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! I just received official notification that I made the Sketches4All DT along with my scrappy buddy Nicolle K, Rebecca A and Kim K. I’ll be sure to add links to their blogs and the other DT members blogs on my sidebar once I have a chance to figure out how! Be sure to check out the fabulous challenges currently running and stop in mid May for blog hop and special event! πŸ˜€

In case you don’t already know, today is my birthday, sooooo I’d like to give ONE of you a special gift! πŸ˜€ I’m giving away a huge variety pack of 12×12 papers (cardstock and paper weight), stickers, rubons, brads, sliders, ribbons, stamps and more! I’m including a few items from each of my favorite brands including Webster’s Pages, My Mind’s Eye, Bo Bunny, Cosmo Cricket, Basic Grey, Echo Park, Fancy Pants, Graphic 45, Imaginisce, Pink Paislee and others! Now these items will not be new releases (except a few MME Stella & Rose items), but they will be new/unused products and loose papers (no paper packs are included). I will post a new photo each day this week showing items that are included in this giveaway! To enter to win, all you need to do in leave a comment on this post and/or any other posts I put up between now and midnight (eastern) this Saturday, April 30, 2011. I will draw a random winner on Sunday, May 1, 2011. Please leave just one comment per post per day. If you become or already are a follower of my blog, you will receive an extra entry for each comment you make. Thanks everyone and good luck!

I’ve Been “Published” by Practical Scrappers!

Practical Scrappers has kindly published 2 of my layouts on their site, so I thought I would share the info and links. πŸ˜€ The first one is the one they featured more recently. It was my Let Them Eat Cake layout of Madison on her first birthday. I used all Webster’s Pages Lullaby Lane products, stickles, and chalk ink:

This one is featured on their Little Girl Projects post.

The second, Baby Kiwi, was actually published first, but I must have somehow missed their email that provided the publication banner. For this one, I used an older Bo Bunny line called Pet Shop and posted about it previously on my blog here if you’d like more info. This one was featured on their Little Boys Projects post:

TFL!

Comments are always welcome and appreciated. πŸ˜€ Be sure to stop by on Monday, April 25th for details on a fabulous, scrappy giveaway! It’s my birthday and I love to share! πŸ˜€
