Tuesday Giveaway + shopping ideas

Hello.

Tuesday means Giveaway Day on my blog and today I have this card kit to give away:

This card kit is perfect for masculine cards, but I'm pretty sure you will find ways to use them for feminin cards as well.

Entering the drawing is super easy: just leave me a comment in this blog post before Friday february 12th midnight GMT+1. The winner will be drawn by random on Saturday and you will have one week to claim your prize.

Prizes from the first two drawings, this one and this one, hasn't been claimed yet. If the winners don't contact me before Saturday morning, I'll do new drawings along with the one from this week.

Good luck!

Are you as excited for the new arrivels from this CHA as I am? And I have a hard time deciding which ones to buy: I have seen some fab stuff fro Basic Grey, among them the Plumeria Collection, Echo park This And That, MME On the Bright Side etc etc. And I'm sure I want more when studying them.

I feel lucky to have a shopping discount code at my favourite online store, Stop and Scrap.

I know for sure Leah Killian at My Scrapbook Nook Kit Club already has ordered some of the new releases for the upcoming kits. That is one thing that makes this kit club unique: they always offer new HOT stuff: in fact we are really spoiled. While waiting for the new releases to arrive I'm going to have tons of fun with this fun February kit:

This month both a free December Kit as well as grab bags are offered for new subbers, but hurry as the offer last just as long as supplies are in stock!

Shopping is fun, but planning the layouts is fun too. If you get stuck in a route, need a mojo kick starter, or just need some new ideas, I strongly recomend Kristine Davidson/Creative Scrappers' new Sketch Book, released yesterday.

It's super easy to purchase: just click here!

I have it, and is full of fab sketches and excamples, I promise. You can have it either as an ebook or as a printed copy, the choice is yours.


Have fun shopping and have a fab Tuesday, all of you!

Ghost Poop And A Letter To My Pets

Dear RL Scoobie dog and Ponky Cat!

When I say move, it means go someplace else, not switch positions with each other so there are still two of you in the way.

The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack.Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help, because I fall faster than you can run.

We cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort. Look at videos of dogs and cats sleeping, they can actually curl up in a ball. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space used is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. In addition, I have been using bathrooms for years, canine or feline attendance is not mandatory.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog's butt. I cannot stress this enough. It would be such a simple change for you.

To pacify you I have posted the following message on our front door:

Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Like to Complain About Our Pets:

1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.
3. I like my pet a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
5. Dogs and cats are better than kids. They eat less, don't ask for money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends, don't smoke or drink, don't worry about buying the latest fashions, don't wear your clothes, don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and if they get pregnant, you can sell the results.

xoxo Hilde

Journaling: "I just walked down the street, and I must have stepped into something without noticing and sudedenly this stuff was just clinging to my legs. I swear: I saw nothing there. Scoobie 7 YO, January 2012

This layout is mainly a "Just because" layout, but I also had the Basic Grey Weekend Challenge in mind when I created it. The challenge goes like this: Double up!  Use papers/embellishments from at least two BasicGrey lines, two photos and a two word title.

I might have stretch the challenge a tiny, little bit by using embellishments from other manufactorers, but the challenge didn't say I couldn't, did it? The papers are from the Picadally line and the Little Black dress line. The rest is non BG items. But in addition to having papers from two difefrent lines, I do have two photos and a two word title!

5. I got a moment of some extra mojo this week. I was browsing through photos from last summer to see if there was anyone I had forgotten to scrap. I found this photo of DS9 at sailing practise, learning how to handle the situation if the boat flips. I strongly believe he think this was the most amusing part of sailing...

Stop and Scrap has been my favorite online scrapping store for the last two years. They stock all the latest and greatest scrapbooking supplies, and have a great pre-order system that lets you reserve items in advance. Here I find all my favorite brands in one place (did I mention their awesome prices?)which has made shopping so much more easy. Stop and Scrap ship all orders over $50 free within the US! And even for us overseas scrappers and card makers, the shipping fee is so low that we really can afford to shop online.

Stop and Scrap also has a customer rewards program (details here) that allows customers to build up points based on purchase amounts. Those points can later be traded in for Stop and Scrap gift certificates.

I love Stop and Scrap’s state of the art customer service. Every time I've emailed them with a question, they always have replied quickly with a personal response- not a canned "form email." You have no idea how important this is to me!

I subscribe to Stop and Scrap’s newsletter. This way I know all about new releases and what there is to pre order. If you want to be updated on what’s hot, this is the newsletter you need.
