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. 🙂

    I sent my Christmas cards last week. I still have a few more to make and send, but I have sent the bulk of them 🙂 Yeah! Merry Christmas, thanks for the opportunity to win such cute prizes!!!

  2. Carolyn E says:

    My out-of-state cards were mailed last Monday and the local ones are in the mailbox right now!

    I love getting them done and mailed earlier than i did last year!

  3. michelle says:

    I still have to address my cards, then they are ready to go so I’m really hoping to get them out tomorrow. Wish me luck!

  4. Lillie says:

    I wish I could say that I have them ready, but I can’t. I got a puppy and that has been taking up all my time. Thank goodness for online shopping! Mine might be New Year cards!! Happy holidays!

  5. Angie M says:

    10 days, thats it just 10 days! I have not sent my cards yet. I am always the last minute person when it comes to this. I have 3 kids under the age of 5 so getting a task like this completed takes alot of planning. And even then it doesn’t always work the way I wanted it to. Isn’t life great!

  6. aaaaaaaaaaaah, yes. i have some of the same faves – esp that scalloped circle and the hello circles set – yummy! can’t wait to see what else is in the catalog!

    christmas cards… eeek. i deliberately bought the winter type holiday cards so my window of opportunity was wider. 😉 i got a pic of the boys this weekend, i just need to get it printed, address them and get them out. maybe this weekend – this week is all about finishing up teacher’s gifts!!

  7. heather mc says:

    no cards this year…baby due any day. I did send an e-mail to friends and family, though….does that count??

  8. Miriam says:

    I don’t send out cards but I love those rubons! Thanks for the giveaway!

  10. jennifer shipley says:

  12. Kendl says:

    My cards are in the envelopes addressed but not stamped. I have had my cards for a week now. I almost forgot about them. I NEED MORE TIME!!!! lol

  13. Leslie Murphy says:

    I mailed my Christmas cards on December 3rd this year–but I’m a teacher and I took advantage of my fall break to make them all in October. All I had to do was get a photo of the kiddos over Thanksgiving weekend and then add the stamps and addresses.

  14. hanna says:

    I haven’t done cards yet – I really want too, but need to get the family picture taken.

  15. Brooke H says:

    Unfortunately this year I have opted to not send out cards…..every year I seem to get behind and find cards unmailed after the fact…decided to eliminate some end of year stress and start fresh in 2009! Good luck to all on your cards!! B

  16. TRace says:

    Thanks to my new love of scrapbooking cards, this is the very first year I have sent out Christmas cards :))) Thanks for a chance to win!!!

  20. Nan says:

    Yes, I did get my cards all in the mail. Always glad when I have that done and can get at all the other things especially the baking.
    I do love making them and receiving homemade ones too. Most of the ones I receive are boughten ones but a few of my friends are stampers too.

  21. My cards are in the mail as I type! I only made half this year and the other half got photo cards of the kids.

  22. Roesmary says:

    I got the majority of my Christmas cards done in July. Did a few more here and there. I have pretty much sent all of them out, too. I know, I’m weird!

  23. Jess Hess says:

    I am going to finish my hand made cards for my co-workers today. I will hopefully start addressing my photo Charistmas cards for family and friends today. They are all printed from Costco I just need to send and address them. There are no Christmas gifts wrapped. That is a scary chore. I also need to bake and make cookies for friends and neighbors. Thanks for posting my organizing tip the other day. What a thrill.

  24. Lisa Graves says:

    I have my cards made… just need to mail them now.

  29. samantha says:

    I made the cards way back on september, so one would think i’d have them out early. nope, waiting for the photos to put inside. while i’m an early bird hubby is not. they are addressed and stamped

  30. PattiHutch says:

    Well….it’s only 10 days away and I have my photocards sitting on my desk. I rushed to get them done but that’s where I am with them. UGH….just the thought of handwriting all of those addresses…LOL!!

  31. Maria says:

  32. Danette says:

    Cards are in the mail–I made one of your designs!

  33. Mustangkayla says:

    I am trying to figure out how you get all that you do done. Do you sleep at all? lol…I got my Christmas cards printed up, addressed and mailed the week after Thanksgiving. I do have a few that I was hoping to deliver that are still sitting on my counter though. Just love your card with the heart and buttons! That is such a fun design!

  34. Tracey says:

    I have yet to acknowledge that Christmas is coming this quickly. If I just ignore it I can have more time, right?!?! RIGHT?!?!

    I am working at addressing my cards today and will be mailing them on my way home from work!

    Love your card by the way! So pretty!

    Merry Christmas to you!!

    ummmm I would like to say yes I have them all sent out, but that would be a lie.I have half of them done and none sent out yet. seems I’m a last minute person this year , oh heck every year

  37. Angie says:

    No not yet, I was so good this year I had the card designed and printed in October and still have not sent the ugh! I gues it was ment to be.

  38. Raffaela Stock says:

    I have not finished making my cards yet.
    I feel so bad about it, but that’s how it’s gonna be this year.
    Rub ons are on of my weaknesses!
    I want them! Please pick me!

  39. Lacey Baker says:

    I have sent a first round and had to order more. Now I’m out of stamps and there is ice and snow on the roads. So they may get there the day before Christmas:)

  40. Anita Scott says:

    Love the rub-ons. So cute!!

  41. Kelly R says:

    No cards sent out yet and won’t be until this weekend…nothing like waiting until the last minute, huh? 😉 I had good intentions of making hand-made cards, but ran out of time so I just whipped up a photo card on my computer and sent it off to Walgreen’s to get printed.
    Thanks for the sweet giveaway! 🙂

  42. Mel says:

    I haven’t sent my cards, maybe will this weekend. I did design my own digital card.

    Yes! The last of them go out today. It was my first digital attempt downloading a card template designed by Heather Melzer and completed the message along with our new address as we are moving in 4 days. Yikes!

  46. Kim Faucher says:

    I mailed the majority out yesterday and I have a few finishing touches on the “local” families cards which I will take with me on Christmas…
