Friday

A giveaway! :)



Thank u

Happy Friday! :) As a "thank you" for supporting my craft adventures, I would like to offer ONE of you, my sweet blog pals, a $20 gift certificate to the Gauche Alchemy store! :)

(pictured are my faves - Pink Parts and Lady Marmelade Orange Mixed Media Kits)


What do you have to do to be in the running for this giveaway?

Jump through a flaming hoop? Dress in an outlandish outfit and juggle some oranges?
That would really entertain me...*LOL* but no need for that...

Just leave me a comment on this post with a little feedback on what you like about this blog and how I can make it even better. I'll pick a winner next Friday! :)

Supplies: My Mind's Eye papers, American Crafts puffy stickers, Bazzill white cardstock, crochet flower and spiral felt flower (click for link to tutorial).

P/s: I would love for you to play along with my guest Kirsty's crepe paper challenge! :)

    I always learn something from your tutorial and you should be the queen or recycling, lots of great project and great effort for being green!
    This is another sweet and lovely card!
    And ya, if only Singapore is a little less humid, I don't really mind the heat as Vegas is as hot in the summer, but having dry air is a lot different in those weather.
