Belated Blogiversary Giveaway!

Hello!  I am a month late, but I’m finally posting my giveaway in honor of this blog existing for over 3 years now, and I’ve recently passed the 100 follower mark, too!  Thank you so much to all of you that follow my posts!  And extra thanks to all of you that leave me such kind comments!

I decided that I wanted my giveaway to be international, so I’m choosing to give digital gift certificates as prizes.  The places I’ve chosen are some of my favorites, and they’re also places that have digital and physical products for sale, they’ll ship internationally(at least for the most part, you’ll have to make sure they will ship to you), and they sell digital gift certificates.

So since I have had my blog for 3 years I’ve decided to give 3 prizes.

Prize No. 1 – A $25 Gift Certificate to Simply Betty Stamps

Prize No. 2 – A $25 Gift Certificate to Bombshell Stamps

Prize No. 3 – A $25 Gift Card to use at Etsy.com

To enter, just comment on this post.  You don’t have to share with others, but if you want to, go ahead!  If you do share, I will give you an extra entry into the giveaway.  There will be 3 separate random drawings for the prizes, so it is possible to win more than one prize.  If you do not want to be entered into one of the drawings just let me know in your comment.  If you earn an extra entry from sharing, you just need to comment again to let me know where/how you shared.  This all made sense in my head, so hopefully I haven’t confused anyone too much!

This giveaway will be open until 11:59 pm, December 1st, 2012.  Drawings will be held on December 2, winners announced December 3.

Thanks for looking!

Hugs,

Laura

My Memories Giveaway!

Hello!  I was recently given the opportunity to try out the My Memories Suite.  Now, I had never really tried digital scrapbooking software before, so I was a bit skeptical of whether or not I would like it, to be honest.  But I must say that I am glad I gave it a try!  It’s actually very easy to use.  And I may be able to finally get caught up on some scrapbooking now.:) 

And what’s more, I’m being allowed to give a copy of the scrapbook software to one of you!

To enter please visit My Memories and check out the variety of digital scrapbooking kits available, then come back here and let me know what peaks your interest.(just leave me a comment on this post about it)  I’ll give you until 9pm (Eastern) next Monday, November 14th to leave your comment, and then I’ll draw a random winner.

I downloaded the Don’t Look Under the Bed! kit and used some of the elements from it to make this page…

It only took me a few minutes to make this page, too!

Here’s another page I put together just using some of the elements that were included with the software…

You can also import graphics and things from your own image collections to create all kinds of other projects.  I’ll try to show you some of the other things I’ve been working on soon.

And if you don’t want to wait for the giveaway to end, or you really want to get your hands on the scrapbook software right now you can use the code STMMMS70779 for $10 off the software.

Thanks for looking!

Gypsy Dreams

Hello and Welcome!  If you’ve stumbled here by chance, this Gypsy Dreams Blog Party originated here.  Thank you to Celia for organizing this event!

My Gypsy Dreams started a long time ago when I was a little girl.  I’ve always had a love of travel, forests, and handmade goods.  And I have a restless spirit.  I love to make things, too.  I make costumes just about every year for people going to the local renaissance festival.  One of my dreams would be to travel with a fair.  Anyway…

I’m not particularly good at drawing, but I drew a picture of what I would want my vardo to look like…

I also love music.(it’s playing in the background if you didn’t notice already)  Another dream of mine is to return to belly dancing.  I started to learn how a few years ago, but I didn’t get very far, so I’d really like to go back to it.

I just have a couple more things to show you.  I made this card recently and I just felt like she was waiting for this party.:)

She’s from Sassy Studio Designs.

And here are a couple of bracelets I made…

If you like them you can enter below with the inlinkz thingy for a chance to have one.  I’ll use random.org to draw two winners for them.  (bracelets are approx. 7 1/2 inches long)  Just put a 1 by your name if you want the left one, or a 2 by your name if you want the right one.:)

Sorry I didn’t have more to show you.  I’ve been a bit under the weather recently. 

Thank you for stopping by and letting me share some of my dreams with you!

hugs,

Laura

It’s a Sassy Masquerade Ball!(and Freebie!)

Welcome to the Sassy Masquerade Ball!  We’re celebrating over 400 followers on the Sassy Studio Designs Paper Craft Planet group!  If you’re hopping with us you should have arrived here from Lindsay’s blog.  If you just stumbled on this post then you will want to go back to the beginning at the Sassy Studio Designs blog.  Believe me, you do not want to miss the lovely goodies all along this hop.;)

(sorry, the freebie isn’t here anymore)

This is Ariel.  Isn’t she cute?  I think all of the Little Honeys are so cute.  Grab her while you can, she won’t be here for very long.  But if you want more freebies just remember that every Friday is Fabulous Freebie Friday over on the Sassy Studio PCP group.  There’s a new image available for download there every week.

Now on to my project.  I colored her up and my 7-year-old daughter fell in love with her, so I decided to make a journal for her.

Here’s the full hop list for you, just in case you’ve lost your way…
