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.

    I’m never disappointed by KI Memories. I love bright, happy paper and they did it every time.

  11. sarah says:

    Paterned paper is really hard to get over here (belgium) and I’ve only got one pack (from making memories) so that would have to be my favorite… Although I always hesitate using it because I only have the one pack (and it came from the states)

  12. Jenn S says:

    It has been so long since I have scrapped or made a card that I don’t really have a favourite line of paper. Although in the past my favourite has always been Chatterbox, all my pattern paper is at least 1 – 1.5 years old.
