So much to share… and giveaway!

Can you believe Christmas is only 10 days away?  Eek.  I fell like we got shortchanged only have 3 weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. 🙂

But, I have lots to share.  And as a reward for listening, I have a giveaway.

First, many of Hero Arts stamps are now available in stores!  Woohoo!  Here are two online stores I know that have tons of it: 2Peas and StampinTreasures.  You can buy the whole catalog there, too.  The stamps available now are only the ones that were part of the Catalog Debut. There will be more new ones coming out at the beginning of January!

And since Hero stamps are made in the USA, we know they will be available on time and rarely on backorder. :) 

Wanna see my faves?

Come on… aren't they too cute??

Great stuff, huh?  Watch those wallets. 🙂

Also!  I am the blogger this week on Hero's blog HERE.  Please come say hi and tell Kelly Goree how much we love having her on our blog.  She is a gem.  A true sweetie. We are doing some fun things with sketches… with lots of prizes for this week's challenge.  Today we used new hero stamps and BG papers.  Here is another card I did with my scraps/reject pieces…

Hearts
Supplies:
Hero Arts Pattern Hearts and Thank You
Basic Grey Bittersweet papers and buttons
White embossing powder
Versamark
Black Memories Ink
Hero Arts Pearls
Fiskars border punch

OK… giveaway talk.  I have a bunch of things to pass along.  And thanks to a donation to help with shipping, I will be giving a lot away between now and Christmas.  I would say that there will be a giveaway every single day, but I fear I may miss a day.  :)  So lets just say there will be many – so keep coming back.  Today's is a small one but a good one.  Just leave a comment on this post by Thursday at 11:59pmEDT telling me if you have sent your holiday cards yet (if you are sending them) and I will pick a random winner of these two BasicGrey rub-ons.  (I love them!)  

Give

And… no… I haven't even recieved my card order.  And I have to add to them.  And address them.  And mail them.  And finish my sister-in-laws cards.  And address them.  And mail them.  Eek. 🙂

Off to work!  Night. 🙂

    Great stamps! I have some that you posted thanks to shopping at SYAO Sat. There are many more that will be added over the year.

    Yes, I love those dolls too. The more I see them the more I like them. After I returned from shopping my DD was sad I did not buy these. I guess I will for sure picck them up if we both like them.

    Yes, I have sent my Christmas cards last week a little slow for me. I try and send them out the day after Thanksgiving. Here is a link to a total copy off of one of your summer cards, only I used Christmas theme.

    jennifer,
    First I wanted to let you know that I received my package from you….thanks so much. I have my cards, but I need to type up my letter. Thanks again for the chance to win such fun goodies. Oh, and the new Hero Arts stuff is just yummy!

  5. Nope, not yet! I’m trying to order some right now but none of the templates really go with the cute photos I have of little man. And family pictures…ha! Those are awful!

  6. I sent them. Yipee. All except the ones I am hanging out with goodies.

  7. Tracy says:

    Christmas cards??? Already???

    They’re printed out- does that count? 🙂

  8. wow… great giveaway.

    To answer your question (bows head in shame) I have not sent them out yet. I am thinking this year I will send a HAPPY 2009 card rather than a Happy Holiday card. That way I can have a couple extra weeks.

  9. Judy says:

    This year in lieu of cards, I made many
    handmade gifts. I am almost finished. The
    ones I am sending are ready to go out tomorrow.

  10. Laura Stewart says:

    I am skipping cards this year!

  11. Jeanie Nieva says:

    no i haven’t sent out my cards yet…:(

  12. Rochellesparkles says:

    Half of my cards are going out tomorrow, and the other half I need to add some finishing touches (ie. I need to finish stamping them!) tomorrow night!

  13. i am sending christmas cards, in batches…i have sent out 4 batches and have about 25 more to make & send…the one’s that are left are all local, so as long as i get them in the mail by thursday they should get where they need to be on time…

    awesome giveaway….ii really enjoy your blog!..

  14. kelly says:

    I finally sent my 1st round last week! Now I have been sending to those I missed…oops. I always have big hopes of sending them out early but this year just didnt happen.

  15. Tami says:

    No, I haven’t even ordered them! YIKES! I designed them on line though, does that cound at some type of being organized or ahead of the game? Well it is not Christmas yet, right? 🙂

  16. Linh C. says:

    My husband decided that we will be green this year and send out electronic cards. I’ve been busy with work, so I couldn’t object. He’s in charge of that this year. 🙂

  17. Cass says:

    Yep. I posted them today. All handmade, most are different, some with photos of the kids in them, all filled with holiday happiness! 🙂

  18. Donna H says:

    I haven’t even come up with a design I like yet. I’ve been extremely sick and I’m lucky I can even get out of bed. At the rate I’m going my cards just might become Happy New Year cards.

    Thanks for the links to your favorite stamps. They are awesome.

    Cheers!
    D in FL 😀

  19. Cindy S says:

    No, not yet!

  20. Brenda says:

    Well… we took the kids picture this weekend, took it to Costco, ordered picture cards… got the envelopes, addressed them… went to pick them up – Costco made a mistake and they aren’t ready yet. Hopefully tomorrow. Thanks for all the sneak peeks – so exciting 🙂

  21. Ritu says:

    I made some and mailed them out. But I have a ton still to do!
    Thanks for the chance!

  22. Brooke P says:

    Almost done making mine – and vowing that this will be the final year for hand-crafted cards. I love actually making them but not the stress it adds to my holidays. Perhaps if I had started them earlier … but next year I’m going digital.

  23. Ann says:

    I’m mailing off my cards tomorrow morning! Love the rub-ons! So cute!!

  24. Chelle says:

    I am probably sending out New Years cards this year :-).

  25. ~Michelle~ says:

    No, my cards this year will be new year’s wishes! EEK! I do have a plan and that makes me happy! LOL!

  26. Anna D says:

    I have made a start with my Christmas card posting but have been caught up with the end of school stuff at the moment.

  27. reising star says:

    Yes! They all went out today!

  28. Sandy T says:

    Omg, the little Japanese girls are SOO cute!! So I have yet to mail out my cards and even yet to make them!! I’ve got some time off this week so that’s the plan for the days off… card scramble make and mail!

  29. Allison Cope says:

    I have indeed sent out my holiday cards out. I actually sent the last of them out today. Whether they make it to their destinations before the holiday, who knows! Love your card Jennifer!

  30. jamie schnirch says:

    My last 5 are in my purse ready to be mailed tomorrow!
    Thanks for the give aways!

  31. Candy says:

    Cards in the mail! You jest!! I still have 10 days. They are made – just not signed, addressed, or notes written!. I am ready to take packages to UPS in the morning! Does that count? The cards may just end up being New Years cards at this rate!

  32. Cathy P. says:

    I have sent MOST of them. Am still hunting down a few addresses. 🙂

  33. Half the battle is done. I have them printed and the list is made…but I still need to address and get stamps. Hoping to have them out by the weekend.

  34. Jennie M says:

    All 70 handmade cards are going out tomorrow!

  35. Cynthia says:

    Yes! I mailed them this past Saturday. This is not as good as it sounds, since most are international and thus will get there late. However, they are en route!!! And I love the new stamps– those scallops are a must have!

  36. Andrea P. says:

    My first comment ever on your website! The Boyfriend and I will send a digital christmas card (he’s an IT guy). I will design it, of course.

  37. Amy Owens says:

    I have supplies to make several different Christmas cards. I read something somewhere that said to make cards for those who truly appreciate their value. And send bought cards to those who don’t. With that said, I am running out of time. So everyone may get a store bought card this year. I have the best intention to make cards for everyone. But then I can’t seem to sit down to get the cards made.

  39. Anita says:

    I have got my cards done, some adressed and hope to mail by wed.

  40. cards4ever says:

    My mom sent a couple out last week but that is it so far.

  41. Jamie says:

    My cards are made, written, addressed and just waiting for me to go and mail them…but it is -45 C with the windchill here in Saskatchewan and I don’t want to leave my house!!!!

  42. Kari says:

    I am such a slacker/procrastinator! I need to get mine in the mail in the next few days.

  43. Amanda says:

    I’d say I’ve sent a little over half of my cards. I send them as I make them. I usually get about 5 finished by each night and I’ll send them the next morning.

  44. Becky W says:

    Yesj, I have sent out all of my cards. I had a wonderful time making each one of the.

  45. Heather Moll says:

    I managed to get my Christmas cards done last week and the majority mailed off last Friday. The rest went out today so I’m very happy they are done!

    Good luck finishing yours up!

  46. Mindy says:

    Put them in the mail today. Hooray!

    Love the new Hero Arts stuff! And love when you’re the blogger of the week.

  47. Pam says:

    I love…… the “I wish” comment. Me too! I wish that is. I have such a hard time with Christmas cards. I love getting them but putting the emotions that I want to say in them is always hard for me. and I hate cards that are just signed or have a carbon copy newsletter in them. I often send cards out at the odd time of year just because I want to let folks know that they are special. Somehow that one card at the odd time of year makes much more sense to me than a gazillion at once.

  48. Christmas cards already in the mail! Woohoo!

  49. Linda Gerig says:

    I have sent a few but not homemade. Linda Gerig

  50. Elaine says:

    i’ve only sent cards for clients / work…not any from home!! 🙁 better get busy huh?
