Video: Inking… Creating Keepsake blogging… and giveaway

… oh my!

Lots of love for you all today.  🙂

So, I am the guest blogger over on Creating Keepsakes today.  Love the folks there dearly, and have been honored to work with them for many years now.  (Brittany, Lori, Joannie, Kim, Jennafer, everyone.  Love you girls.)

Here is a peek at the scrapbook page I created for them.  Be sure to go HERE – the CK blog – to see the full project and video… and another giveaway!!

So… in addition to hooking you up with the video, I have a giveaway.  Remember last week when I told you about how much I love the Sizzix embossing folders?  (They cover the whole front of a card – woohoo!)  I thought I would give a couple sets away here – I had extras from a project.  So, just leave a comment telling me about your Mom's Day plans by Sunday night and you have a chance to win these two sets of embossing folders…

    Unfortunately I will not get to spend Mother’s Day with my Mother, or my Children or my Grandchildren. I have to work, and as a Nurse, I work 12 hours nights. But I know that I will hear from my children and will call my mom.

  2. melissa says:

    Missing my mom this Mother’s Day. My family tradition is going out to breakfast before Church on Mother’s Day, yum! I am working on a memory piece of Mom, so will do some crafting in honor of a wonderful woman who loved crafting!

  3. Sue says:

    Right now it looks like my Mother’s Day plans will involve working in the garden and then having a wonderful dinner cooked for me by my husband.

  4. Nancy S says:

    Jennifer, you inspire me with your creativity and your generosity. Thank you so much.

    We will be spending a quiet Mother’s Day, as my mom passed away 2 years ago and DH’s mom is out of town. We will make the traditional phone call to wish her well, of course, and spend some time thinking about my mom. But no cooking obligations! (altho I love to cook)

    Have a very Happy Mother’s Day!

  5. Terri (blindstamper) says:

    We volunteer on Sundays at our local Humane Society…usually just morning or evening, but this Sunday is both…so Mom gets to celebrate today (Saturday). We’re scrapbooking together…got her some new supplies! 🙂

  6. candy says:

    I love my Sizzix……come to think of it I love all my craft supplies/tools.

    I am having a BBQ with all my family. I have lots of room for baseball, croquet, horseshoes, etc. Should be a really great time.

  7. Emily says:

    I’m addicted to embossing folders!! I can’t stop making cards with them! Thanks for the chance of winning a few … that way I won’t have to buy them all 😉

    For mother’s day, my sister and I are taking our mom out for dinner; and of course, I have a handmade card for her.

    Have a wonderful mother’s day!

  8. Linda Whitman says:

    looking back it makes me wonder why the folders weren’t card size to start with;)
    Mom’s Day-it’s going to rain here in KC but maybe we can still get the grilling done.

  9. Anne B. says:

    Haapy Mother’s day Jennifer! We will be celebrating by going out to lunch and thena trip to the zoo…hoping our weather cooperates! Love the embossing folders and thanks for being so generous Jennifer!

  10. sarah says:

    WE will go to church then out to lunch. Then home to read the papers and NAP! a perfect day with my family!!

  11. Pat Grajewski says:

    We plan to take my 94 year old mother-in-law out of brunch. Happy Mother’s Day to all.

  12. Suzy Girl says:

    I love what you have created once again. I am having both the “moms” over for a great dinner! Can’t wait.

  13. Monika Davis says:

    What a gorgeous page! I just love the colors and the great technique! :o) I don’t really have plans for Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day tomorrow!

  14. jan metcalf says:

    Beautiful watercolors! My family usually has a mother’s day brunch planned for me and my mother, a 3 generation brunch if you will!

  15. Stephanie Wallace says:

    Happy Mama’s Day! The kids and I are going to going to church with my mom, then to the Butterfly Exhibit at the Krohn, then meet up with the whole fam for dinner. Wishing all the moms out there a blessed day.

  16. maria-angelica says:

    This year mother’s day is the same day as my B-day….. Unfurtunatly my husband is in the army and he will be on training… This is the second year in a row he is away (last year he was deployed). So , after church, I think i am going to bake a cake and have my kids decorated….

  17. Annie M. says:

    Nothing too exciting for me on Mother’s Day. I’ll be working during the day and after work I’ll be heading over to my parents’ house to spend some time with my mom.

  18. Jo-Anne says:

    My parents own a 40ft sail boat, and our is 29ft. We’re all going out sailing on Sunday, then we’ll anchor at Sidney Spit in the afternoon and have a bbq onmy parents catamaran. We’re very much a “water/ocean” family, so most our holidays and celebrations are done on or near the water ;o)

    Thanks for the chance to win these great embossing folders!

    oh, and I came across a REALLY neat idea for referencing your copic colours http://tiffanyrichards.blogspot.com/2009/09/copic-color-wheel-tags.html

  19. Holly Saveur says:

    Loved the technique you showed.

    Tomorrow afthernoon my husband and my two big sons and I go to my mothers house with a gift and a home baked apple-pie and a card.

  20. Lauralee Camilleri says:

    Well, we’re on our way home from Orlando (flight leaves Sunday at 6:00 am!!!) and get into Toronto at 1:30 (after a pit stop in Chicago). Our daughter who is home babysitting dogs is making dinner for us so whatever a 20 year old with limited cooking skills can do, is what we’re going to eat. We are incredibly proud of her for attempting her first dinner on Mother’s Day. Either way, it will prove to be memorable!!!

  21. Elizabeth Hawks says:

    We are headed to an arts festival. I adore festivals. Then Daddy is going to take care of the munchkins while I go get a pedicure. I can’t wait 🙂

    I adore embossing folders and I don’t have any Sizzix brand despite having the Bigkick. Thanks for your generosity.

  22. Tammy Perkins says:

    No plans since we don’t celebrate mother’s day but hope I can still have a chance at the giveaway. I sure could use those folders!

  23. Gabriele says:

    We will go to church, skype with children and grandchildren, and just enjoy a family day. Hope you a Happy Mother’s day too. Thanks for the chance of winning so many lovely items this week.

  24. Tina in Springboro says:

    Jen- you are the best! I will be working at Michaels on Colerain demoing the Cricut Cake. My daughter has a huge surprise for me tomorrow morning which I know it will make my day wonderful!! Hugs – enjoy your mother’s day with your mom and Colin!

  25. Beth Moore says:

    On mother’s day I’ll be spending the day at a Michael’s store demonstrating the Cricut Cake!! Whoot Whoot! Thanks for the chance to win these great folders!

  26. Chris G says:

    My plans for Sunday including finishing up a project for my mom and mother-in-law; nothing like being last minute. But the best thing is — I’m relaxing on MY day, doing what makes me happy. Thanks Jennifer for all the great ideas!

  27. Kristan says:

    My boyfriend and I am taking his Mom to PF Chang’s. Yea!

  28. Janet L. says:

    I don’t know what my family has planned for me but I know I start off with a nice long bubble bath.

  29. Joanne Hemingway says:

    We are not sure what our plans are yet.. hopefully the weather will be nice enough to plant some flowers!

  30. krys72599 says:

    I get to celebrate for a couple of day! Last night I went to dinner with my stepdaughter and she started off the evening with flowers and a card for me for Mother’s Day! And on Sunday I’ll have breakfast out with my hubby and dinner out with my mom to celebrate!

  31. Karen Lynn M. says:

    Happy Mothers day to you all!! I plan to help my son and wife move into their new home. Not the moving furniture part but the cleaning cabinets and putting things into them part. Other members of my family think I am crazy to do that on mothers day, but hey, isn’t that what mothers do?

  32. Joyce L. says:

    My son invited me to his house for dinner. My husband is out of town, so it will be nice getting to spend time with my grandsons and hopefully being outside (although it’s a little chilly here today!)

  33. Michelle Lester says:

    I am hoping that my kids will spend the day with me in my craft room relaxing and crafting. We will take a break and go to the kids soccer games of course. Have a beautiful, relaxing Mother’s Day everyone!

  34. Jessica says:

    A friend of mine and I are going on a 4 hour drive to a nurse-in at a mall in Cedar Rapids, IA. 🙂 A poor lady was harassed and her house vandalized after feeding her child while at the mall.

    Thank you for this opportunity to win!

  35. Verona H says:

    We have come to Lubbock, TX to my son’s to attend our grandson’s graduation in Plainview today. Last night our son took us and his in-laws out for our Mother’s Day dinner, since his in-laws have to leave early Sunday. My daughter will be here too from Dallas, so it is a great week-end. Happy Mother’s Day.I just bought a Sizzis Big Shot, but don’t have any embossing folders to go with it yet.

  36. Laurel says:

    Going to visit my Mother on Saturday, and present her with a necklace I made.

  37. Kristin says:

    don’t have any special plans. Just a phone call. But no crafting, just grading…. 🙁

  38. Sandi N. says:

    Jennifer

    This watercolor,pearl,heat embossed technique is one of my favorite. Oh and that photo is so romantic:) Ken knows he is a lucky man:)

    My Mother’s day will be spent with family. I hope I get some flower to plant outside with the girls.

  39. Marie says:

    I’ve been using the cuttlebug folders. I just bought a set of Sizzix. I love the idea that it will cover the whole card. Can’t wait to try them. Taking my mom out for breakfast tomorrow. M’brother is taking her out for dinner. Now that’s what I call a great day. A break from cooking and dishes! Enjoy your day!!

  40. Kay G. says:

    Thanks Jennifer for the video. It is great. My sister and I plan to take mom out for lunch after church. We will shop today for her present. I would love to win the sizzix folders. I don’t have any yet. I hope your mother’s day is great.

  41. MariClaudi says:

    I plan on relaxing!!!!No dishes, no laundry, no cooking!
    Happy Mother’s Day.

  42. Donna E. says:

    ooh love those!
    if im with my mom right now, i will definitely treat her to a day in a salon from head to toe 🙂 she would love that.
    but since we’re thousands of miles and oceans away, i just gave her a call and talked with her with lots of stuff 🙂

    thanks for the chance and Happy Mother’s day!!!

  43. I love embossing folders too! I use them alot. Mother’s day will be pretty quiet. we will have my mom over for supper on sunday, and spend the rest of the day gardening.

  44. lee i. says:

    I’m sure I will be oohing and aaahing at the cards my daughters made. Using my scrap supplies. 🙂

  45. Shalini says:

    Happy Mothers Day to you and all those super womans(a.k.a Mothers) out there…

    We would be celebrating a nice cosy evening @ home together 🙂

  46. Shirley Lee says:

    We’re taking my mother-in-law out to her favorite restaurant and then coming home to enjoy our patio and our warm weather. She loves our dogs and will play with them. I made a beautiful card for her. She loves to share my cards with her neighbors. Real low key. Happy Mother’s Day to you, too! Give cute Colin a hug from me!

  47. Kim says:

    Our morning will start out with getting up and going to church then out to lunch… my husband will probably grill out something delicious for dinner and then we will just hang out and enjoy being a family. This is the 1st Mother’s Day he’s been home for in 2 years due to military obligations. Just being able to be home as a family of 4 is the best gift EVER!

  48. Zara says:

    Well, in my country this is another celebration – Victory Day. So we are going to congratulate veterans. We have womens day in March.

  49. Sue Givens says:

    Mothers day plans for this weekend will be very laid back. My husband asked me what I wanted for Mothers Day and I told him that I want to spend the day with him and just go out for a quiet dinner, just the two of us.

  50. Sammie says:

    Our Mother’s Day plans include church, lunch, then the nursery to buy some plants!
