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.

  6. ElizabethG says:

    Basic Grey is what I keep coming back to right now.

    What a fun card!!

  7. Bridget N. says:

    I honestly don’t have a favorite. I pretty much like whichever paper inspires me at that moment (and I tend to need A LOT of inspirational help!!).

  8. Diana says:

    Cute owl. I like the happy birthday words showing through the circle. Making Memories is my fav.

  9. mary doak says:

    I LUV paper. I usually get whatever is on sale at the craft store. I just purchased the DCWV Christmas Stack and the the glittery cardstock ones are so pretty. But my favorite is Making Memories Noteworthy. I don’t have any but want some. This paper you are sharing has the shape I luv about Noteworthy so this would be just what I am looking for. IT’S SNOWING here in Maine today. Nice to look at but not fun to drive in.

  10. Geralyn says:

    October Afternoon is my current favorite!

  11. Lisa says:

    I really like the CTMH papers.

  12. Loren says:

    Basic Grey is consistently great! I love the Offbeat line (some say I tend to be a little “offbeat”, myself 🙂

  13. Linda aka Oz says:

    there are so many fabulous paper lines out there to choose from. I do so like them all but I have to say that Basic Grey is still my absolute favorite. Not once piece of paper from every one of their collections has gone to waste at my house. And I have bought every last one of their collections!! So many of the companys don’t understand scale. I have purchased and used just about everybody out there but I can not I have enjoyed any as much as what I consider to be “MY Basic Grey”

    Thank you Jennifer for sharing your work and tidbits of your life. It is very brave and noble of you. I love your view and gain great inspiration from you. We don’t agree on style, I am much messier and more distressed than you, but you have taught me a lot about design and balance. Thank you again. Linda aka Oz

  28. Louise B says:

  29. Crystal says:

  41. chris d says:

    Right now I’m crazy about Cloud 9 Stocking Stripe Paper.

  42. Kim R says:

    Oh my – pick a favorite paper. I really like basic grey and the solids from SU are wonderful also. i also love to wander down the paper isle at my local scrapbook shop. Why is it that paper can always make me smile and oooh and ahhhh?

  43. Amanda D says:

    Oooh, love that pad! I’m always drawn to the Making Memories line of papers.

    Lisa

  47. Stephanie says:

    I have recently been addicted to the DCWV big stacks of paper. I normally don’t buy them but they were on sale so I bought a Christmas pack and I love how all the papers coordinate. It makes everything so easy!

    Basic Grey with cosmo cricket a close second

    Love your Blog! I love it all, but my fav at the moment are 6×6 pads from Basic Grey….xo

  50. Kari D says:

    How can you ever decide which paper line you like the best….I am afraid that I have yet to meet a paper line that didn’t have wonderful things to offer (as my sig other will attest looking at the paper stash I have). Does anyone else have the same problem I do? I hate to use my papers….cause then they will be gone!;-(
