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. 🙂

    As of today I still need to take a picture of the kids, print 60 of them, attatch them to the card, and mail them out.
    EEK is right. I do have them addressed though, so that is good.

    Have a good day.

    I’ve sent all but three and I think that they will go away tomorrow. 🙂

  3. Debbie says:

    Haven’t mailed any yet but hope to get them done before Christmas!!!!

  4. Lisa says:

    No, not in the mail yet. Going to work on them today.

  5. Fifi-T says:

    I made my cards in August and felt really organized, but I still haven’t sent them! Not even the ones which are going abroad… eek!

  6. SmilynStef says:

    All my cards are in the mail (my husband is a postal carrier, so I know the importance of mailing early). Thanks for the chance to win.

  7. Brenda says:

    What a great giveaway! Gotta love those BG rub-ons!
    My cards are mostly done and sent. I still have a few to hand deliver and a few to mail, but I’m glad it’s done for the most part.

  8. Tina in Springboro says:

    That would be a very big No on the cards being in the mail. They will be tomorrow if it kills me.

  9. I have not sent my cards yet and I’m so ashamed! I am in the midst of a card making frenzy to get them done though 🙂

  10. Joanne says:

    Hi Jennifer! No, I haven’t sent out my cards and it’s looking like I probably won’t either. This hasn’t been a good year, so I am struggling to get in the Christmas mood.

  11. Aww, those stamps are really really cute!!

    Actually i sent my cards today, wich is the last day (in sweden anyway) to be sure that they make it to the person in time before christmas. 🙂
    Only sent 6 cards tho.

  12. HeatherC says:

    Beautiful rubons!! Yes, I sent my cards the week after Thanksgiving. Now don’t hate me — there was a reason I was so on the ball — we moved this fall and they were also my change of address cards! 🙂

  13. Angie says:

    Yes, handmade cards are mailed on time this year!

  14. Erin says:

    I just sent mine yesterday! I feel such a relief! (sorry to rub it in!). I have just discovered rub-ons and am in LOVE! Thanks for the chance to win!

  15. Debby Greenlaw says:

    Send then??? . . . I haven’t even finished them!?!

  16. Lynn Judge says:

    eeek no i havent mailed my cards yet – so i had better get to it!!

  17. Erin Bohland says:

    I have them made but have to address them.

  18. Sue says:

    I haven’t sent cards yet except to people at church because we just drop them off at church and they get distributed that way. I am doing photo cards but for the New Year with our new address so it’s sort of like a moving announcement as well (since I never would have gotten them out for Christmas)

  19. The Jolly Dog House says:

    Yep, all my cards are signed, sealed and delivered as of December 5th. Now on to the next 100 projects!
    Happy Howlidays

  20. Amy L. Weber says:

    Shame on me, I haven’t send ANY holiday cards. I’m afraid our card from last year was just too darn funny, and it’s hard to live up to! Actually, we just seem so much busier…not sure what it is.

  21. Victoria S. says:

    HI Jennifer
    oh i so love that thank you card with hearts – it is exactly my style – colors and everything. TFS and i would absolutely love those BG rub-ons. You are a sweetie! Have a great day. Stay well.

  22. Dani says:

    I’ve finished making my cards. Now need to finish addressing them and get them on their merry way!!!

  23. Jennifer K says:

    Regrettably, I have not mailed them yet. I wanted to have them out this past weekend but other things took priority. However, everything is made, postage is purchased, and the envelopes are half addressed – I’m almost there. 🙂

  24. Shannon says:

    Well…I have the pieces of my cards done. I’m just waiting for the cardstock for the main part of the card!! Then I will be frantically putting my cards together and then either hand delivering them or mailing them.
    Thanks!

  25. Heather M in Ohio says:

    At this put I am thinking of not doing Christmas cards – maybe something post Christmas. I just haven’t had time.

  26. sherryecklen says:

    I had my cards all made up in advance. I addressed them in November. All were written in and pictures were added and then sent off the first week of December. If if sounds like I am bragging, it is because I am! This is a first for me being so on time. But I guess being layed off from my job has allowed me the time.

  27. Midnight says:

    Yes, I sent my cards over a week ago. Felt so good. LOVE BASIC GREY

  28. Nancy says:

    The last of our cards were mailed out this past weekend – yea!!
    I’d not thought about the ‘only 3 weeks between Thanksgiving & Christmas’ – no wonder I’m trying to figure out why I feel I’m so quickly running out of time! *lol*
    Thank you for your giveaways – what fun!

  29. Pamela C. says:

    I just got the envelopes addressed yesterday and the stamp put on them. I am picking up our family pictures today to put in the envelope…then I will be done…except for those few that you always forget!

    Thanks for a chance to win and have a great day.

    Hi Jennifer! Yes, my cards are finished and mailed out, only have two stragglers as I needed updated addresses, however those will go out today. Courtesy of that cute little owl, penguin hero arts set, I made several with those, as did a few of my scrapbook night girls, how could we not, way too cute!!!! Anyway, good luck on getting your cards finished and out, I am starting to panick at all the other stuff left to do! Happy Holidays!

  31. Melissa Bove says:

    Unfortunately, mine aren’t done either! But, I’m getting close!

    Hugs…

  32. {vicki} says:

  33. XXOO AMY says:

    For once my cards are all sent before New Years day!

  34. Tonya A says:

    I did mail my cards about a week and 1/2 ago. But this year I cheated a little and didn’t make mine. I’ve been playing with digital scrapbooking so I created my own 4×6 photo card and had it printed.

    Happy Holidays!

  35. MARILYN NIMMO says:

    I just now finished my cards – get to put them in the mail today! Of course, still have several gifts to finish. TEN days?! YIKES!

  36. patty c says:

    Photo is taken, ordered and I am picking them up today – they will make it to our families and friends on time this year!

  37. Kathy says:

    Yes I’m planning on sending cards…no, I haven’t gotten it done yet! But I finished my shopping yesterday!

  38. No, I’m embarrassed to say that i have not sent out Christmas cards yet. We did get short changed with only 3 week b/w Thanksgiving and Christmas! Hoping to get them done soon 😉

  39. Trace Geworsky says:

    yay..I just mailed them last night..then this morning I realized I forgot about 15 people, so no..Im not done mailing yet:)

  40. ShellyJ says:

    I have my cards made, stamped and addressed… ready to be tossed in the mail box! woohoo! 🙂 thank goodness for that. Every year I make mine, stress about it the entire time that I am not going to get them done… then once they are in the enveloples, I feel awesome. I dont think it would even feel like Christmas if I didn’t send out holiday cards. Hope you will share your card with all of us on your blog 🙂

  41. Beth W. from FLA. says:

    I am in the same boat – the cards are made, but I still have to address and mail!

  42. Michelle Bingnear says:

    Yes, I even made my Christmas cards this year, at the F’ALL Day Scrap I go to in November. I have already gotten comments from friends about how I must have too much time on my hands! Thanks for all the fab ideas!

  43. Lin says:

    Yep, my cards are made and sent. But I think you are the normal one, as I haven’t been getting very many in return so far.

    These rub-ons look lovely, and I’m really enjoying the week so far with Kelly. Lovely ideas!

  44. sue wisniewski says:

    Yes, I have sent out my holiday cards. Phew! I was lucky this year to visit with friends and made a lot of holiday cards….way too many. Hey Jennifer want me to share with you? stamping sue

  45. africanfootprint says:

    All holiday cards are sealed and sent… only because the majority of them go long distances to Africa, UK and New Zealand.

  46. Peggy says:

    I have most of them sent out, just a few sitting here, hope to finish up today.

    great give-away!

  47. Marcia Livingston says:

    Yes, I have made, signed, sealed, and had delivered all of my Christmas cards! (Now if I could just get those presents purchased, wrapped and under the tree I would be set! 🙂 )

  48. Debbi says:

    I have most of my cards mailed….but I still have about 10 to creat and mail. But, I work pretty well under pressure. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway

  49. Joanne Hemingway says:

    I am not sending cards this year. Too much stuff going on. I have been known to send “Happy Spring” cards.

  50. Candy says:

    I plan on finishing my cards up tonight and hopefully get them printed tomorrow. Maybe they won’t be late.
