Fast and Fresh Giveaway…

Good evening!  Thanks for all the well wishes coming from my fellow twitter folks.  Colin and I have been slammed big time by allergies – we are doing pretty rough.  But we will be fine.  I had a class tonight, which I made through thanks to some meds. 🙂

Wanted to do a post before heading to bed…

First, quickly, I wanted to announce that Kellie Cox is the winner of the My Favorite Things stamp giveaway.  Congrats!

Next, I have another giveaway!

Creating Keepsakes has a new special issue out that I LOVE.  It is called Fast and Fresh Scrapbooks and it goes on sale today.  Want a sneak peek?  Just click HERE.  Sweet, huh?  One thing I love about the book is it has a lot of great tips, along with yummy page ideas.

If you would like to get your copy, use code "FAST-BLOG" for 20% off your purchase at the Creating Keepakes Shop HERE between May 10-31.

In the meantime, I have a copy to give away!  Just leave a comment by Friday at 11:59pmEST telling me your favorite idea book or site and I will pick a winner of this new book…

    One of my favorite idea sites is Roni at Ink Stains. She’s more of a Mixed media artist with a flair for vintage. Check her out! Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of Fast and Fresh Scrapbooks (Lord knows I could use the help…world’s slowest scrapbooker here).

    I love the Close to my Heart idea and sketch books. They give me great inspsiration with my scrapbook layouts when I am stuck and cant decide how to design my pages!!

  18. Clara says:

    My favorite idea book(s) is the sketches books by Becky Higgins. When the mojo is not there, I can always refer to those books. It’s a great reference point and it never goes out of style! For ideas online, Two Peas would probably have my vote because they have everything that I love–photography, digital scrapbooking, paper scrapbooking & stamping.
