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. 🙂

    They are all in the mail, finally! I only sent cards to the closest relatives and friends so it was a little easier this year. Went to my first cardmaking class which was a lot of fun and then had the cards ready!! This was the best motivator for me to get it done. 🙂

  32. heather says:

    ok first I am totally loving the Hero Arts stamps that you have listed… Think I am going to have to save my christmas money for some of those goodies.

    2nd-This is the first year that I totally went all out for Christmas cards and I actually did them prior to December 1st.. I sent them last Friday, but I was 3 short and I did them tonight and plan to send in the morning if I can find my stamps.

    Then it is on to Thank you cards and Valentine’s Day cards!!!

  33. greyce says:

    this is the first time in years i sent my cards and pictures on time! we took pictures on thanksgiving weekend and i made all my christmas cards (with the hero arts stamps) and mailed them last week! hope to be as organized next year. once i sat down to make cards it was easy and fun.

  34. Monica Robinson says:

    No cards yet!!! I dont think I will be making or mailing any cards this year. I gave a few to coworkers that I store bought at the local dollar store but I have been busy with work, school, church and getting ready to move that I’m afraid Christmas will be here before you know it. You want to make me some when you make your SIL cards? Just kidding!

  42. Ally says:

    I don’t send holiday cards, however, I am planning on making thank you notes this year to give after the holidays – those unfortunately, are not yet done.

  43. Hi Jennifer, I did send out all my Christmas cards last week, but I keep thinking of people who should get a card too. So I keep on running upstairs and make new (simple ones).
