Let’s celebrate…

Hi, everyone!

Ivotedsticker

Let's celebrate election day!  I am so glad it is finally here.  I have another giveaway to celebrate!  And for you non-US people, you can play, too, of course. 🙂

But I do have to say, I hate the day after the election.  Even if I am happy with who won, I still feel SO bad for the person who didn't win.  Imagine how sad they are after putting so much into it?  I feel the same way when someone gets booted off Dancing With the Stars.  Ha. 🙂

How about a couple quick shares.  This is from an old Autumn Leaves project, but I wanted to share anyway.  The challenge was to use all my current favorite products on one project.  Turns out not much has changed – still buttons, gems, sewing, stamping, flowers, enlarged photos, mini photos and computer journalling.  (The only thing I would add now is AC's Thickers. 🙂

And this is from Hero Arts.  I just stumbled upon it today and thought I would share it here.  Isn't Erin Cobb's daughter gorgeous?  I would love for Erin to take pictures of my family someday, along with Lisa Russo.  My dreams. 🙂

And I have a winner of the Jamie Scraps kit from Sunday's post is Carol B!  I will email you.

You still can enter yesterday's drawing for the fabulous Studio Calico kit if you post HERE by tonight.

And… finally… today's giveaway!  Just leave a comment on this post by 11:59pmEDT on Wednesday night and I will pick a random winner of this great 6×6 BasicGrey Offbeat paper pack.  (It is perfect for cardmaking. I just ordered one from 2peas for myself and decided to order an extra to give away here.)  And, can you help me out?  In your comment, please give me some ideas of questions I could ask you all for my giveaway comments.  Anything you want to learn about your fellow stampers?  I loved asking about your recipe ideas.  I am collecting some from you all and will share soon.  Thank you!  Oh, and here is the BG paper pack you could win…

Thanks for stopping by and being my happy place every night.  Take care! 🙂

    Hmmm, I don’t really have any question ideas that haven’t already been mentioned….

    Thanks for the chance though at another fabulous giveaway!!

  2. faith says:

    Love anything Basic Grey…hoard it!! All of the above questions are excellent. The only one I can think of is: How do you store your rubber/clear stamps? And the correct way to store inks and pens.

  3. Daniela says:

    Im sooo happy Obama won, even tho i live in Sweden. And those BG pappers are the cutest! Love them! *crossing my fingers really hard*

    Hugs, Daniela

  5. questions…
    what was your first stamp?
    what stamps have you bought and never used?
    what stamps can’t you get enough of?
    what would you have on a stamp?

  6. Celeste E says:

    Great pics of Colin. He’s such a cutie! Erin’s daughter is a doll. I still have to go to CNN to see the election results. Thought I’d stop here first though. 🙂 I can’t remember what questions you’ve asked already for giveaways so hopefully I’m not repeating things you’ve done already… how about peoples favourite colour combos, where they get inspiration, any tips they might have? Thanks for the chance. That BG paper is yummy. I have some of the 12 x 12 but your recent cards using the 6 x 6 BG has got me craving it. 🙂

  8. Amy Dow says:

    Hello! Happy Day after election…I’m sooooo glad it’s over! Now, I am that person who likes to learn something new each day so questions like…
    what is your best organizational tip? or
    what is your best time management strategy? Would be interesting. Or because the holiday season is upon us how about some questions like…
    What is the best hostess gift you’ve ever given/received? or
    Do you have a signature holiday dish? What is it?
    I love learning quirky off beat facts about people. That’s why I love the beginning section of Real Simple magazine…the monthly questions and answers are the best! Anyway, cute pages! I love the paper!

    Great layout. Isn’t it amazing how our scrapbooking may or may not evolve, depending on how much we follow the trends. Great layout, as always.

    Questions:
    What are your go to scrap products?
    You are stuck on a desert island with a scrap space. What five items will you wish you had?
    Favorite hand written journal tool (brand, tip size, color).
    Favorite snack food.
    It’s holiday time. Do you prefer giving or receiving holiday gifts?
    Do you shop on Black Friday?
    Do you shop on the day after Christmas?
    Are you making more homemade gifts this year, or the same as always.

    Hope those guestions help some for future giveaways!

    Thanks,
    Jennie

    You could ask people for healthy snack ideas, or an organizing tip. Thanks for the giveaway – sounds you get to finally celebrate some silence! If I had so many political phone calls I think I would have turned my ringer off. I too was very sad for McCain. I’ve finally reached an age where I care a lot about the election, and it’s a very emotional process!
