Giveaway

I think its time for a little giveaway.

I've got a box of stuff to giveaway.  Some exclusive items from kits.  Stickers.  Just pulled a bunch of stuff out of my donate/sell pile.

Leave a comment for a chance to win the goodie box.  I'll pick a winner on Saturday 2/25.
Tell me what your favorite scrapbook company is - all time favorite.  Mine would be Scenic Route.

And now some creative stuff.

 I took N to see grandpa up in Calgary last July and we took a drive up to Lake Louise and Banff.  He was being a little turd and wouldn't pose for any pictures.  I finally grabbed him and my dad snapped this photo of us in front of Lake Louise.  Looking back through my pictures I realize I'm just not in enough of them.  We take a lot of trips - big and small - and I have maybe one of me in a set of 500.  I'm making more of an effort to get in the shots now.

 About a month after we got home, my grandmother was going through her old photos looking for something and came across this one.  I ran into my room and grabbed the photo of N and I.  Same shot - 56 years later.  Thats my grandmother holding my mom in front of Lake Louise.


This was made with the January Studio Calico kit - Daydream Believer.   It had a lot of the Dear Lizzy new release in it - not one of my favorite lines but all the right pieces for me.  I cut up the paper with numbers on it.  Heart punch had knotted burlap string.

  7. Love the then and now photos. It is great to see you scrapping. I know so many LSS owners that were burnt out and never got back into it so I'm glad you're still creating. As for my favorite scrapbook company? It is so difficult to choose just one, but I'll throw Junkitz out there. I'm still hoarding some of their paper and embellies.

  8. I love the layouts, especially the first one because of the older photo you included.

    All time favorite paper, wow that is hard. I have so many that I love for different reasons, I actually wrote a blog post about it too after a friend challenged me. I'm going to say Basic Grey based on the amount of their paper I have. Echo Park would be a close second.

    I have been to Banff, but never made it to Lake Louis. I know it is gorgeous.
    Oh my favourite scrapbooking company. This is a hard one for me as I really don't pay attention to who makes what, But I do love Graphic 45.

    ahh it's so hard to pick one favorite company of all time. I'm going to have to go with American Crafts. They have made lots and lots of great lines, and I definitely have a Thicker addiction!

  16. My all time fav company might be MME. But, OA, and scenic route would be pretty close contenders. So hard to pick!

    I really like both these LOs but I adore the story the 2 photos in the first LO tells :)
