Happy Monday & a Giveaway

Hi!  Hope you had a good weekend.  Mine was heavenly.  I love stamping retreats… especially with the best of friends and most incredible women I know.  I feel so happy – and therefore have a fun giveaway today. 🙂

First, I gotta start by linking you to the Hero Arts Blog.  Leslie Lightfoot is gonna rock it with color combos this week.  She has a giveaway… go check it out HERE.

And another link for ya: Nichol is doing an AMAZING Christmas journal.  Incredible. You can see it HERE.

So, you know how I always share cards inspired by my dear friend, Shari Carroll?  Here is another.  Totally inspired by her owl cards found HERE and HERE.  I just love this little guy.  (And thank you, Shari, for inspiring me.  I love you so very much!)

Owl
Supplies:
Hero Arts stamps (owl, cupcake, birthday greeting)
Hand-drawn hat
Other: colored pencils, gamsol and pom-pom

Now it is time for that giveaway.  I personally have been so addicted to small paper pads, like the 6×6 Basic Grey ones and the 8×8 Cosmo Cricket ones.  So, I thought I would giveaway one of these goodies.  Just leave a comment here by Wednesday at 11:59pmEDT telling me your current favorite paper line/company and I will pick a random winner of this great and happy paper pad…

Hope you have a great week.

    What a great prize! Right now I am loving My Minds Eye – I actually bought a bunch of their paper slabs from hobby lobby. I know they aren’t the heavier weight paper, but I don’t mind not having the bulk, and the designs are so dreamy.

  2. Rachel says:

    That is one super cute card 🙂 The pompom just makes his hat too. I find small paper packs are great for card making too. Haven’t seen those Cosmo Cricket ones here though … they look lovely.

  3. Carol M says:

    Basic Grey by far is the best!!! I’m really liking the Close to My Heart paper lines lately too.

    Thanks!

    Hmmm, I don’t think I could pick just one fave paper company. I love Fancy Pants, Daisy Bucket, We R, and pretty much all others. I might be just a little addicted to pp!!!!

  14. Cara S says:

    You must be reading my mind! It would be a tie between Basic Grey & Cosmo Cricket. I love CC’s Christmas line this year, but I just got Offbeat, and it was fab!

    Wow cute card. I just found this stamp at the local scrapbook store and I am so excited to create with it! My favorite paper line right now is Making Memories Christmas line.

  19. StampinCathy says:

    Your card is so cute. I just love the colors and the layout. I love so many DP companies. One of them is Basic Grey and this pad is just awesome. Thanks so much for a chance.

  20. Christine says:

    I love the Aspen line by Close to My Heart–can’t wait to develop snow pictures to use on it!

  21. Christy says:

    I think right now October Afternoon is ranking pretty high on my list. I love the boldness of their current lines and can’t wait for my LSS to get their shipment this week! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  22. Sharon says:

    Most of my recent Christmas cards have used paper from the 8×8 Making Memories Falala pack…and I love that I can get coordinating embellies to go with. Also like Basic Grey lines.

  23. Melissa D says:

    I have to agree those little paper pads are so handy. Basic Grey is the only one I’ve ever had. But there’s not much left b/c it’s so great for cards and mini album pages!! Thanks for all your great ideas – just popped in to find out some more about those gorgeous little gift bag covers from a couple of days ago.

  24. Christy B says:

    Wow – super cute card!

    I am drawn to Basic Grey again and again. There’s just something about their colors and designs that “call” to me. However, I’m so intimidated by their beauty, I’m afraid to do anything with them. So, I’m a collector for now. I also have the most adorable chip album from them…still in the package~~I’m such a chicken!

  25. Lynsey says:

    MM 5th Avenue has been finding its way into a lot of my projects lately. It’s sort of a departure from my usual style, but I’ve enjoyed working with the line this fall!

  26. Angela M says:

    I have always loved the K & Co. pads. I think I have almost all of them!!

  27. pcm says:

    I love how you have a punch-out circle that isn’t the focus of the card! I haven’t even really started to use them yet but I have a fascination with the coredinations line of cardstock right now!

  28. Jeanne Pellerin says:

    Doodlebug! Love it!

  29. Andrea Johnson says:

    I love Cosmo Cricket right now.

    Stampin Up is my favorite for solid colors.
    I guess for most of my prints and some of the colors I really don’t look at the company name just whatever works for my project.

  40. I love Basic Grey’s 6×6 paper pads! They’re perfect for quick card-making projects. I love how all of their colors coordinate!

  46. Anita says:

    Scenic Route keeps popping up lately in my projects.

  49. Becs Attwood says:

    I am a total Basic Grey addict – please don’t ask me to pick a favourite line though! I’ve had loads of fun creating Christmas cards with the Wassail range. I love some of the old stuff (Blush, Perhaps) and the new stuff is divine too (esp. Amrosia, Offbeat, Urban Prarie). And it’s not just the paper, but the fab co-ordinating brads & stamps & buttons & chipboard & stickers… BG rocks!

  50. Kristen says:

    I’ve never found an SEI paper pack I don’t like. Basic Grey is another awesome line that I seem to end up buying a lot.
