Fan Feature and a Giveaway!

Hey, hey it's Friday, {yay!} and I have some fun fan features to share with you today & a giveaway!

The first feature is from Amanda at Popper & Mimi Paper Crafts. What an adorable valentine card holder...


Once the mailbox is assembled I bet the kiddos would have a blast decorating it with their name and other fun Valentines shapes.

Next is a fun card I found while browsing our Flickr group. It was created by Sarah, and it's pretty clever wouldn't you say?



These last two are some of my favorites. Jennifer cut the snow globe shapes with her Silhouette and had her daughters color them in. What a great way to get the kids involved in your crafting. Love them!



Thanks for sharing... and inspiring, ladies!

Now for the giveaway portion of the program... I have a CAMEO dust cover to give away. To enter, leave a comment on this post by Tuesday, January 8 and I will announce the winner on Wednesday. Easy peasy! Good luck!

  106. Oh, I love that snowglobe idea! I am new here, just got my silhouette for Christmas and am already head-over-heels in love with her. She is my new best friend. My husband asked if I was going to leave it out on the desk or put it away in between use. I told him I would "put it away" as often as he puts his Play Station 3 away after he plays. :) A dust cover would be a wonderful addition!!

  119. I love the US/Canada card! I need to "borrow" this for a card for my niece. She has dual citizenship as she was born in Canada. This past week we all got together for a late Christmas celebration. My mom was trying to convince me that my niece had decided to claim her Canadian citizenship and that she was moving to Canada. (As if, she's only 18 - I just rolled my eyes.) Anyhow, this would be a cute card that I could send her, wishing her well in her Canadian adventures.

  126. Thanks for sharing such a variety of cute projects! Something to appeal to almost every taste! And, I never realized a dust cover was available. I tend to store my Cameo in a rolling tote, but it would be so much better if I could leave it out on the table so I could just whip off the cover and use machine. I'd definitely use it more often!

    ReplyDelete
