Stop and Scrap Giveaway!!!

Good morning!!! I'm very excited this morning to have a givewaway sponsored by Stop and Scrap! Stop and Scrap is an online papercrafting store, with a great selection of some of the newest products - and great prices. I actually just placed my first order from them recently, and was very pleased with how quickly it arrived. Even though my order wasn't over $50 to qualify for free shipping, I felt like the shipping charges were very reasonable.


They also have a great rewards program, and I am excited about spending those points eventually! Free money to spend is always good! So...today I get to give away a $25 gift certificate, and three $10 gift certificates!!! I will tell you at the end of this post how you can enter!

But first, here is a project that I made with some of my first order from Stop and Scrap:


The main image is from the Unity Stamp November KOTM, and I also used the Unity KOTM sketch, so I will be entering it in that challenge.





The cute little flag is a die and stamp combo from Lil' Inker designs. I stamped the pole and heat embossed it on the background paper, then pop-dotted the matching flag. Used my Tim Holtz distress tool on the edges of everything, then sponged on some Tim Holtz distress ink in Worn Photo.


On the bottom, I used some Baker's Twine and Papertrey Ink twine, together with a Papertrey Ink button.


The coloring with Copics is an ever growing skill! I know I'm not very good at it yet - but I am having so much fun playing with them and learning how to use them better and better! I think it adds so much to a stamped image!


All right - now to the giveaway part!!! I was given the choice to do whatever sort of giveaway I wanted, and since it is the day before Thanksgiving here in the US, I want to keep it really simple! So, all I would like you to do is leave me a comment letting me know what you are thankful for today...right now. It can be any little thing - because there really is no such thing as something too small to be thankful for.

If you would like to pop-over and say hello on my Facebook Page, then leave me a comment here saying you did that, that will give you an extra entry.

You can also go visit the Stop and Scrap Blog, leave a comment, then come back and leave me a comment saying you did that for an extra entry.

And finally, for last extra entry, go visit Stop and Scrap, and come back and leave me a comment telling me what YOU would love to spend a gift certificate on if you win!

So that is a total of 4 entries - or you can just keep it simple and leave the first comment and let me know what you are thankful for. Either way, I will draw the four winners and announce them here next week on Monday morning - leaving time for everybody who is interested to leave their comment over the holiday weekend!

Oh...and just for the record, I am thankful right now for my family - I don't think I could possibly love them anymore than I already do. I am definately a blessed wife and mommy! 


Thanks for visiting today - hope to see you soon!
