Thanks to everyone at the Cricut Messageboard for participating in my “Copic Certification Celebration!”

We have a winner, but first, here is what I decided to give the winner of this drawing. This Hero Arts acrylic stamp set is called “Birds and Branches”. The set includes one 12? long border stamp and 14 assorted stamps totaling 15 stamps. And because of the unconventional size of the branch I’ll send along a 12? acrylic block. As always, thanks to Lisa for the deep “sister discount” which allows me to give out such nice prizes.

AND THE WINNER IS….

Denise (Mom21Brat) who wrote on 10/10/2008: “I LOVE that card! It’s beautiful!”

She was referring to the embossed pumpkin card.

Congrats Denise! I’ll send you an email to confirm and get your mailing address!

Thanks again to everyone for your kind comments!

OK, so I said I was going to video tape my darling daughters 2 and 5 doing the drawing for me. We did video tape the whole thing. BUT it would be SOOO boring if you all had to watch it! They were running around, trying to see themselves on the camera, I kept telling them they couldn’t see themselves if they were looking at the camera. They were a big help though and we got it done. I have the tape for the record!

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:

1. Prima Sweet and Sassy Jar: cute multi-color/pattern flowers
2. WeR Memory Keepers Designer Eyelets & Snaps: baby girl, baby boy or travel
3. Studio G Series 14 “scrapbook” stamps
4. Prima Flowers: bra, panties, purse or large  flowers w/ chipboard center
5. Jumbo brads
6. 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.

Yesterday I hit 500 posts at the Cricut  message board. In celebration I announced that I would draw names from those who wanted to play by leaving me a comment on my blog by 5:00 pm CST today.

Thanks to everyone for playing and to my eldest daughter for taking her “drawing” job so seriously. She is closing her eyes and sitting on her hand till time for the draw!

She drew and announced #20 as the winner, I’m so proud of my Kindergartner for “reading” the number correctly and being my “random number generator!”

The 20th name on the list was “Karen”, who posted on 8/28 at 9:47 pm on my Wedding Anniversary card post, “Love this card!! Love this cartridge also!!”

Congratulations Karen, I’ll be sending you an email to get your snail mail address! You won 16 sheets of double sided 12 x 12 paper, 25 coordinating stickers, two full sets of alphabet stickers with upper and lowercase letters (ivory and black), and 5 wood mounted rubber stamps from Inkadinkado by artist Dawn Houser!
