PS...here is one of our favourite comments we received this season...Susan you have a copy of the winter issue coming to you too!

Santa was looking for just the right home for a prize to give to a special someone. He thought and thought, then he decided. (Hmmmm I wonder who?) So he landed and went down the chimmney and ever so quietly went to the kitchen and saw the love and care that went into the handmade gifts that had been created. The table was full of colored papers, ribbons, sissors, cardstock, glue, glitter, embelishments, but no stamps, no American Crafts, and said yes I made the right decision. This gift is going to a good home :)

Thank you SCT for 12 wonderful days of amazing generosity and fun!! Also to the donators of all the awesome crafting supplies!!! All I can say is WOW!!! I would be honored to recieve any of the 12 days prize packages and give them a home:) Merry Christmas to everyone and have a blessed New Year!!Posted by: Susan C | December 20, 2011 at 11:48 AM

12 days of holiday giving...SCT style! DAY EIGHT!

Good morning!  It's not only Friday but it is Day 8 in our "12 day of holiday giving"!  And today we have an extraordinary prize PACKAGE to share with YOU!  We have been a long time friend with both of these companies and their support for SCT is always immediate and amazing. When we announced our 3rd annual "12 days of holiday giving" they both very quickly put together their best...for YOU!  Get ready...to gasp...(isn't a little drama fun?!)...get ready to sing...

On the eighth day of the "12 days of holiday giving" Scrapbook & Cards Today gave to me...

Four beautiful Spellbinder's dies to go with this...

A Grand Calibur!!!  How exciting! The Grand Calibur™ is the latest in Spellbinders™ Paper Arts' line of innovative die cutting and embossing machines. It is compatible with all Spellbinders die templates. The Grand Calibur cuts or embosses 8⅛″ wide with the turn of a handle! Did you read that  8⅛″ wide!  It also accommodates multiple die templates on the 8¼ x 11¾" color coded plates to either cut or emboss in a single pass.  Larger shapes offer endless possibilities for scrapbooking, school projects, mini albums and more!   Didn't we tell you Day 8 was good? 

But of course, when you have dies and a die cut machine you need some pretty amazing paper and adhesive too right?  So, on that note we also have this incredible package for you...another squeal coming...

The Bazzill Holiday Style collection, a beautiful album, adhesive, button, brads and rub-ons...OH MY!  Holiday Style is a sweet and whimsical line that quickly became one of our favourites at CHA this past summer so much so that we named it one of our Top Ten in our winter issue!  You will also have the brand new Marathon Runner with over 100 ft of adhesive...times two!  You'll be crafting for a longtime with this package.  Ah Bazzill, you make our hearts go pitter, patter!

The ENTIRE Snow Day collection from Pink Paislee!  Woot, woot!  This is one of the sweetest, winter lines we have seen this year.  We loved it so much that we used in the 3 Designer Challenge in our winter issue!  With soft pinks, powder blues and a fabulous collection of embellishments, Pink Paislee has done it again!  Wouldn't this look great in your scrap space?

And remember yesterday I mentioned something brand new?  Well, we have the honour of working with designer extraordinaire Vicki Boutin for a long time now and are thrilled to give away a copy of...

her brand, new book Creative Foundations!  Yes friends, you will be one of the very first people to have this  incredible book.  And guess what, it will be an autographed copy too!  How cool is that?  We asked Vicki about the book and here is what she said...

"I love idea books and I wanted to write one chock full of the “how to’s” and “sparks” for your creativity!  This book is has chapter after chapter of techniques and instructions on how to recreate them.  I also have a gallery full of ideas on how to layer the techniques together to make fun and funky projects!  With a little help from a group of artists that inspire me, I tried to put an idea book together that will have you excited to pull out your stuff and start creating!" ~ Vicki

As you can imagine, this is one amazing book, from one amazing girl!   Congratulations Vicki!  (want to know how Vicki made those mason jar candles in winter issue?  Be sure to check out her blog here.)
