I think I need to go back to elementary school because I guess technically this is post #501. I can't count. So we'll just pretend...
In honor of this being my 500th post on this blog, I would like to giveaway some stuff! The theme is: handmade.
First - four handmade cards. Why pay $5 for a card when you can win some right here for free!? I've got three "thank you" cards and one "birthday" card.
Second - four intaglio (pronounced 'intallio' - the "g" is silent which I learned the hard way at school, haha) prints. I made these my sophomore year at BYU before I went on a study abroad to London, so naturally, I was interested in all things London-themed. I etched four copper plates with maps and such of the area and made 5 editions. That means in the entire world, there are only 5 of each print. The set I am giving away here is set 5 of 5. Signed, dated, legit. These babies would look absolutely awesome framed and hung on a sparse wall.
Third - 75 sheets of cardstock. Not just any cardstock - American Crafts cardstock! This is one of every color they make. It's high quality, has a nice linen texture, and has a colored core. Non-scrappers could use this stuff for making signs, banners, school projects, etc. And for scrappers it's perfect for card-making, paper projects, and layouts. Retail value: 50 cents a sheet x 75 sheets = $37.50. Good thing I stocked up before I moved eh?
Fourth - an original handmade book by me. I painted two chipboard sheets blue and then peeled off some of the paint for a distressed look. I used the coptic binding so it lays perfectly flat - much easier to write in than other styles of bookbinding. It's 5 x 7" so it can be carried around in your purse or backpack. Use for drawing, as a journal, or heck, give it away :)
Fifth - one of my handy dandy calendars. If you already bought one on etsy, you can give this one to someone for Christmas!
Sixth and last but certainly not least - not really handmade by me, but the food will be handmade by someone - a $25 gift card to any Brinker family restaurant. Mmmmmm.
Here's the fine print: Leave a comment on this post by this Saturday October 31st (that's Halloween!) and at 11:59pm Pacific Time I will randomly pick one winner to receive all of this STUFF - winner will be posted the following day. Anyone may try for the prize - friends, family, and foe, near and abroad. Thanks for reading oh ye faithful readers!

ReplyDeletePAIGE!!! are you kidding?!?! ONE winner? gosh, spread the wealth! i was going to leave a comment and request a thank you card (or cardstock). didn't know the thank you card would come with a million other things! anyways, keep in mind that i'm in california and shipping might be cheaper if i win... or you could just hand deliver it... BUT if i don't win, at least i'll still have your blog! ps- not to sketch you out or anything... but since i found your blog, i have started scrapbooking more, gotten chris to go on more fun outings and day trips (like you do with your chris) and most of all, i've started blogging ten times more than i used to. (it's true, look at my blogging track record) but don't let it freak you out. i don't want you to disown me as a friend... ;-) ps- you are my favorite blog to look at... and that's not just talk.
ReplyDeleteIf I win, I will have to give my beloved sister, Marlene, something from this wonderful bounty of treasures, for telling me about this wonderful giveaway. You are truly talented. I'm crossing my fingers!
