Good Monday morning everyone! We hope everyone had a great weekend and if you did not have a chance to stop by the blog this weekend, make sure you check back to our giveaways on Saturday and Sunday (they were pretty fantastic!!)  Remember you can still leave a comment on each of the "12 days of holiday giving" until December 24th at 12:00 p.m. EST.  All winners will be announced at 6:00 p.m. on the 24th!   Hopefully you are not tired yet of humming our favourite song of the week - "the 12 days of Christmas".  We just wanted to be sure you spent the whole day with the song in your head and an image of 10 lords a leaping!  We have a great giveaway today so let's all sing together...

On the tenth day of the "12 days of holiday giving", Scrapbook & Cards Today gave to me…a brand new product just hitting stores now…and it's good...really good...

The Studio Calico Home Front line! Imagine June Cleaver styled, 1950s domestic bliss. Featuring optimistic colours and smooth vintage inspired patterns. You’ll find fresh stained wood grain, retro home décor, an exclusive Studio Calico cardstock alpha set, and much more. Home Front is versatile, colourful, and beautiful (can we say that?)...I think you’ll love it. Below we thought we would ask some of our favourite designers who have worked with this new line to give you some inspiration!  Be sure to check out the Studio Calico site for even more inspiration! 

Here are some beautiful designers layouts using this new collection:

And, how about some of our favourite 3M Quick Dry Tacky Adhesive!  3M Quick Dry Tacky Adhesive is a permanent adhesive that secures three-dimensional objects made of metal and plastic as well as papers to just about any surface (perfect for chipboard ladies!!). It dries in less than five minutes to a transparent gloss!  Not to mention it stores upside down so it is always ready. (it is also permanent, acid-free, and photo safe...oh yes!)  This has a permanent place at my scrapbook table...lol.  The winner will receive not one, not two, but THREE bottles of this great adhesive.

12 Days of Holiday Giving - Day Nine!

Good Sunday morning friends!  If you stopped by to see if there were 9 ladies square dancing then I am sorry if you are disappointed...lol!  They were all tired out from a party last night and could not be up so early :)   Since you are here though, start singing our favourite "12 days of Christmas" song  and let's not wait any longer!

On the ninth day of the "12 days of holiday giving", Scrapbook & Cards Today gave to me…get ready for this one…

a WeR Memory Keepers Cutting collection - yes we said COLLECTION! We are huge fans of all of We R Memory Keepers’ tools and this collection is fantastic! It slices, it dices, it cuts it all—wavy, scallop, straight, postage—in fact you have eight different choices and the best cutting mat out there! And all of this in a perfect carrying case to take with you.   When I tried this out at CHA (our trade show where all new products are showcased) I was in HEAVEN I tell you!  It was so easy to create super beautiful borders and all in a matter of seconds.  There is no doubt these cutters will quickly become a favourite tool in YOUR collection.

12 Days of Holiday Giving - Day Eight!

Happy Saturday friends!  The countdown to Christmas is on and our fabulous giveaways are still going.  Do we not have the best partners out there?  They have been so generous it makes me giddy each day as I write this post.  And guess what?  They have pledged their support for Project 12!  What is Project 12 you ask?  Hmmm, quite simply it is you creating a whole year of memories in 12 easy steps!  The amazing Becky Fleck has created the 12 beautiful double page sketches - one for each month - and we are going to post them right here on the last Saturday of each month along with a beautiful inspiration piece from designer Davinie Fiero.  When the next sketch is revealed the following month all those participants that have either emailed us a copy of their monthly layout, or a link to it, will be entered into a draw for a prize.  Prizes aside though, at the end of 2010 you will have a complete, coordinated album that was fun and easy to do!  Join us right here on December 26th for the launch of Project 12!

Now, where were we...oh yes it is day 8!  Are you singing yet?  Let's go....

12 Days of Holiday Giving - Day Seven!

Good morning everyone!  We are so thrilled you have joined us for another fabulous giveaway (and get ready for it because IT is another fabulous pairing!).  Before we get to today's giveaway, I wanted to share a really great experience we had here yesterday.  The Olympic Torch Relay is currently making its way across Canada and we were lucky enough to have it pass through our town.  We, along with many of the kids from all the local schools got to cheer it on as local athletes ran with it through our main streets.  Many kids, including my daughter, even had the opportunity to hold it!  It was great to see the excitement and pride on the children's faces and a great experience they might never have again (also...a wonderful photo opportunity!)  For all our Canadian friends, if it is coming to your town, try to get out and see it.   We were thrilled we did!  Now...let's start singing our favourite song of the week and let's go... 

On the seventh day of the “12 days of holiday giving”, Scrapbook & Cards Today gave to me...

the fabulous (and adorable looking!) Sizzix Texture Boutique gift set! The Texture Boutique creates elegant embossed cards and images turning ordinary cardstock into something extraordinary! Not to mention it is adorable to look at!  Of course my blog friends you need some beautiful papers to go with this prize, so we have two holiday stamp sets AND the Christmas Cocoa Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! This is one beautiful prize package! Another perfect pairing I would say!
