Hey everybody! I am in Louisiana now and having a blast! Today was the first day of a local scrapbook convention and Lisa Bearnson is going to be there Saturday! I really hope I get to meet her, but it seems the "founder" of the convention might be a bit "celebrity happy" and hog her. Oh, well.
To celebrate the fun I'm having at the convention AND to participate in the Rocks in My Dryer "Dog Days of Summer" Giveaways, I am hosting a scrapbooking giveaway! I have got a ton of stuff collected from some great local friends and myself...and we want to give it all to YOU! All $250 of it (really it is probably more but I lost track!)
There is a set of 3 photo albums (12x12, 8x8, and a mini one that is so cute I almost just kept it :) plus another album, TONS of embellishments and papers, even a stack of ribbons. Since I don't have any girls (a moment of silence as I mourn this forever fact), I really love ribbons.There's baby stuff for boys or girls, beach stuff, seasonal stuff, even Captain Hook stuff! There are letters and stamps and die cuts and MUCH more.
I know the pictures are not the best ever, but about 1/2 an hour before it was time to go to the airport, I remembered I needed to take pictures of all this great stuff...so here's a few pictures, and let me tell you, there is WAY more where this came from.
So, how to enter?????
Leave me a comment and tell me your favorite crafty item, whether it be an already finished product or a product you use over and over again in your crafting. No blog needed to enter, just make sure to leave an email address!

I have these awesome foam dots that I use to make my scrapbooking pages a little more three-dimensional. You can just use one to give the page a little pop and you can stack two to make it a little taller.
I also have to admit a sticker addiction...

My favorite thing is chipboard! You can do so much with it! Cover it, paint it, glitter it, distress it, etc, etc! And it gives you a little dimension too!
AWESOME giveaway!!

I LOVE to scrapbook when I have the time. My favorite things are those little adhesive triangle photo mounts that go on the edges of photos and hold them in place. They allow me to switch out photos in my books if I want to, and keep me from having to glue (and ruin) my pictures to the page.
grabbed Confetti's button as well!

Double-sided tape comes in handy for projects like fixing pictures to trifold cardboard for science fairs. It looks neat and placing colored computer paper behind each picture makes everything stand out better.

I have to say I'm not the most artistic person on the planet. But scrapbooking allows me to tap into that side of myself! I love my "new" fiskars rotary trimmer! Cutting for dummies!
I love stickers. I've loved them since I was little and I still like to use them.
One of my best craft projects was a scrabble board I made for my inlaws that I put all of our names on it and put little sayings all around it about grandparents/parents. They loved it and everyone always comments about it.
Is it just me or do crafty things just make a person giddy? I really like the embellishments that have adhesive already on the back of them. They are really easy to work with and add dimension and charm to a scrapbook page! This is the coolest giveaway ever! fun.mom.cheratgmaildotcom

My favorite (I can only pick one, right?) is probably my paper cutter, I couldn't do ANYTHING without it, I know it's not anything fancy or new, but really, as any paper crafter knows, we are nothing without a good paper cutter/trimmer.

I would like to start a scrapbook with my 20 year old daughter of my 3 month old son.
My paper trimmer is one of my favorites -- I have a big heavy duty one for when I cut cards...but my small one makes it so much easier to do the small precise cuts!
I absolutely love embossing powder and my embossing gun! To this day I just love to watch that change when you heat it up. LOL I also really love the nestabilities!
