12 Days of Holiday Giving - Day Five!

Can you believe it is already day 5!  This has been the most fun week ever wouldn't you agree?!  Knowing there are still 7 days left is even more exciting!  Today's giveaway is special.  I mean really special.  It is fun, festive and frivolous - taking us back to our childhood Christmas days mixed with a little Hansel and Gretel sweetness - remember how they looked at the gingerbread house?  Now, start humming our favourite tune this week - the "12 days of Christmas" and let's go....

On the fifth day of the “12 days of holiday giving”, Scrapbook & Cards Today gave to me…5 golden rings! No, just kidding - it is even better! 

the beautiful Merry Mint collection from American Crafts and a selection of the new AC Stamp Markers (featured on page 12 of the winter issue). Our Editor Kerry loved this line when she saw it and could not wait to create with it.  You can see some of the cards that Kerry made using Merry Mint on page 7 of the winter issue.  The colours are so rich and perfect for the winter/holiday season!  In fact, some of them are almost edible!

All you have to do to have the chance to win this collection is just leave a comment below!  And, don't forget to enter each day as the comments for ALL the giveaways closes on December 24 at 12:00 p.m. EST!   Here is a little recap of the exciting week we have had so far:

Should I give you a hint about tomorrow's giveaway?  Hmmmm...ok you've twisted my arm...have a look at the top right hand corner on page 23 of our winter issue and think of our favourite cardstock - another delicious pair! 

12 Days of Holiday Giving - Day Two!

Good morning blog readers!  If you joined us yesterday then you know that in order to participate in today's giveaway you need to start quietly humming "the 12 days of Christmas" song...here we go...

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

a Creatopia from Xyron! Can you believe how generous they are? This amazing machine cuts (straight or decorative!), embosses, adheres (fabric too!) and laminates.  The best part...it is 12" wide!  Imagine embossing a full 12" piece of cardstock.  It also cuts items up to 1/2" thickness.  Yes, you read that correctly you can cut chipboard! One of the features we loved was the fabric adhesive.  Never has adding adhesive to ribbon been soooo easy.  Watching Beth Kingston when she was here in Toronto demonstrating the Creatopia at the Creativ Festival, we could not believe how easily she changed the different components and was able to create so many different projects just like that!  And, upon closer inspection, I think it might just make your coffee too! So my friends, this is one perfect machine that needs to be in YOUR scrapbook room!  So go ahead and leave a comment right here to enter to win!  (sorry if some of you wanted some turtle doves!)

(giveaway is for main unit only...well and maybe an extra little something, something ;)  Please only one comment per person per giveaway.  And in case you missed yesterday's amazing giveaway from Doodlebug Designs and our giveaway details, click here for a chance to win!  

Now go and enjoy your Sunday and be sure to join us tomorrow for a fabulous combo giveaway!
