Daily CHA Blog Drawing!
July 15th, 2008
Hi everyone! To celebrate my first trip to CHA and that I met my own deadline, with my new logo and blog banner design, I’m giving away blog candy every day for a week!
First of all I want to say a BIG thank-you to Alice Grey Trainor who brought my Scrapallier vision to life! She literally carted sketchpads and watercolors across the globe several times while she was working on the original drawing for my concept! It couldn’t have turned out better and I’ll be forever grateful! And, thank you to Chris Lo for the wonderful logo and business card designs. I am posting a link to his website here in case anyone gets their hands on my business cards and just has to be a copycat! His printing process is top secret, only he and his double secret printer know how to do it!
And very special thanks to my very dear husband Neal, who patiently gave me his feedback every step of the way.
Anyway, formalities aside, here is an example of the daily prize package:
Each day’s prize has approximately a $20 retail value! The color or style of the item will vary slightly from day to day. But each package has:
- Prima Sweet and Sassy Jar: cute multi-color/pattern flowers
- WeR Memory Keepers Designer Eyelets & Snaps: baby girl, baby boy or travel
- Studio G Series 14 “scrapbook” stamps
- Prima Flowers: bra, panties, purse or large flowers w/ chipboard center
- Jumbo brads
- Basic Grey rub-on accents
There will be one drawing for each day’s comments from 7/18 thru 7/24. I’ll be posting each night from CHA 7/17 thru 7/20 and for a few days when I return. I’m sure I’ll have a lot to share. If you happen to post on the evening of the 17th after I post about my TIM HOLTZ class then your comments will be thrown into the drawing for the 18th, I just want to give everyone at least 24 hours to post each day.
There is one catch, I don’t think I’ll have a way to print the comments from my hotel and cut them up for the drawing. So, all 7 drawings will be on 7/25.
But, you have not heard the best part….there will be a grand prize drawing for a Cricut Storybook cartridge! This is a $60 retail value, so if the winner is a friend without a Cricut then you’ll be able to choose something of equal retail value. Special thanks to my sister Lisa Ziriax, owner of Seriously Scrappin, because if it were not for the deep sister discount I would not be able to afford such nice blog candy!
Please try out my scrapbook search engine and give me some feedback. I explained what it is on my “About” page, but basically vertical search is for searching the narrow scrapbook niche versus searching the entire World Wide Web. If you put your blog address in the blog search engine and nothing comes up then just write a comment there requesting that I add your site.
Please bookmark Scrapallier so that next time you are trying to remember what Cricut messageboard member created that special .cut file you can search Scrapallier! HINT: after you seach your term look for the links at the top of the search results. Clicking on them will narrow the search even further, to a messageboard or to published scrappers for example.
