Blog Hop Give Away

Counting down the hours until the blog hop begins!!

Visit OWH HERE to get to the blog hop on Saturday, Sunday and Monday!

As promised, I have a give-away for my wonderful readers.  Are you ready?

Since my challenge for the weekend involves 6x6 pads of paper, I thought I'd share the fun.  For the give-away I'm giving away a brand-spankin' new 6x6 pad from My Minds Eye!  This is from their Lost and Found collection and it's called Portobello Road.  It's a gorgeous set of double-sided papers!


There are several ways to enter, so pay attention.

1) Post a comment here about WHY you would like this particular 6x6 pad of paper!  What do you think you'll do with it?   You get 1 entry for commenting on this blog post.

2)  Post a comment on tomorrow's blog hop post!   What about the card do you like?  What would you write inside?  Be creative!  You get 1 entry for commenting on Saturday's blog post.

3)  Look up at the right side of the blog...see that email subscribe box?  If you really want to follow me, please sign up there.  Or, you can sign up via the Google Friend Connect (bottom of right column).  I just pretty-please ask only serious subscribers please.  It makes bloggers sad when people subscribe for a contest then quickly unsubscribe when the contest is over.  We feel lonely.    You get 1 entry for subscribing and posting here that you subscribed!  If you are already subscribed/a friend, then please let me know that too for your entry!

4)  Visit the other blogs in the blog hop.  Okay, no entries given for that, but I think you'll really enjoy seeing all the fun stuff out there and maybe snagging some more goodies!

There will be some other treats thrown inside the package as well!  And depending on how many entries I receive, we might have a second winner.  I don't know, we'll have to wait and see!

So, get ready to hop the weekend away in between your plans and I hope you can squeeze out a card or two in the fun.  Here's hoping you win!

Hugs,

  1. I would love this paper pad to attempt to finish it by using sketches like in the OWH tutorial. I was so inspired by Sandy using up one that I'd like to give it a try, too. Also, I LOVE MME's papers and this pad looks downright yummy! Thank you for the chance to win this & for your support of OWH. I can hardly wait to see your card tomorrow!

    1. Always watch Sandy and go, Yeah, I can do that, but my reality is not hers, lol. Sketches seem to stump me, do better CASEing. I know it's basically the same thing, but, what are you gonna do? LOL. And papers, oh my, know what you mean!! Thanks so much for stopping by and best of luck! Will be drawing tonight. Have this entry in the drawing!

  2. Thanks for offering the giveaway, Tamara! Since this is a Memorial Day Weekend blog hop if I were the lucky winner I would use the paper pack to make cards for OWH exclusively. I have signed up to follow you with Google Friend Connect. I am offering a paper giveaway also.

  3. You're so generous to offer a giveaway. I would use a 6x6 to try to follow the tutorial that's been bouncing around OWH for months to make a stack of cards using nothing but this paper and some solid cardstock. :)

  7. I found this blog from the OWH page comments! SO! I would love to just play with the paper to see what happens!!! Sometimes I get good ideas just with tactile manipulation!!!!!

  8. I would use the paper to continue on my journey through the OWH sketches. I started January 1st and haven't gotten very far.

  9. I would enjoy incorporating origami into Hero cardmaking. Origami paper is too thin and not acid free. Thanks for posting!

  10. That looks like a great pad to try the 6X6 tutorial.

  11. What an awesome giveaway! I think the paper pad would be great for making masculine cards. So many cards seem to be made for women.

  12. I'd try on of the 6x6 paper challenges with it. And, it's in my favorite color..shades of blue! The cards would, of course, end up in my OWH box!

  13. I could see lots of "spring like" cards being made with this pad - I love the bird image at the bottom!
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  14. Oooohhh...that a pretty paper pad that I have not seen yet! It looks vintage-y, so I'm thinking some OWH cards would definitely end up distressed and lightly stained...I have the perfect set of birdcage stamps to go with it too! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!

  15. I am also now a follower of your blog...can't believe it took me this long to find it!

  18. Love the cool subdued colors on this Lost and Found pad. I am just getting serious about trying new things with my cards which is how I got started Blog Hopping! I would use this pad to try out new techniques I have been learning on all these wonderful blogs.

  32. This paper pad looks like a fun mix of prints, and I think I'd be able to create a widd variety of OWH cards with it: thinking of you, birthday, missing you, AnyHero, really any occasion! One can never have too much designer paper... ;)

    1. Wide variety. Not "widd". Obviously, I need more caffeine this morning so I can catch those pesky typos...

  33. I tend to resist change, and I usually use 12x12 paper, but I would love to try to use a 6x6 pad using Sandy's tutorial as well. I love the patterns in this pack - blue is my favorite color!
    Thanks for your support for OWH - this blog hop has been so much fun!

  34. I would make thinking of you cards...the colors can be suited for masculine and feminine...with embellishments they would be sweet cards.
