BIRTHDAY Give-It-Forward Giveaway


A few months back, I was lucky enough to win a HUGE scrapbooking prize!


This prize was hosted by Creative Scrapbooker Magazine and consisted of all newly released items from numerous renowned manufactures at the latest CHA (Craft & Hobby Association).
Needless to say, I was beyond happy and feeling certainly blessed with good fortune!

Knowing that I couldn't use all those goodies myself, I set some aside, wanting to pay it forward somehow at some point in the year.  Since my birthday is in exactly 1 month, more specifically on June 26th, I decided to celebrate my special day by giving away to 1 lucky blog follower a 12x12 pizza box filled with papers, stickers, stamps, stencils, etc from the prize I won (plus a few extras)!

I call this giveaway my 2016 BIRTHDAY GIVE-IT-FORWARD!


You can find below some close-up images and a complete list of items included in the prize.

It's very easy to enter...  there are only 2 rules (but read carefully!)

1 - Become a follower of my blog (if not one already).

2 - Leave a comment on this blog post, guessing what age 
I will turn on my birthday this year.  If you happen to guess correctly, 
I will put your name twice in the draw for 2 chances to win.

Also, if you LIKE my Facebook page right HERE,
you will get another chance to win! 

This giveaway is open internationally and will close on June 25th, 11:59 pm EST.

I will announce the lucky winner on my birthday, June 26th!

Kaisercraft – True Love collection kit (includes 6 patterned 12x12 double sided papers, 2 sheets of each design, 12x12 coordinating sticker sheet, 6 1/2” paper pad, collectables) / Creative Memories – A Year to Remember kit (includes 12 patterned 12x12 double sided papers, embellishment pack, designer stickers) / FabScraps – #Teens C80 Collection New Carders Pack (includes 4 different paper designs x6, 2 designs and 2 tag pages (die-cut) x2) / Elle's Studio – Little Moments paper collection pack (includes 6 patterned 12x12 double sided papers, light gray Letters & Numbers, black Letters & Numbers, Lil' Snippets: Blank Labels & Labels, Jonah Labels, Cutouts, Bits and Pieces, Journaling Tags, 6x6 paper pad, Jonah Alphabet stamp set, Little Moments stamp set) / Scrapbook Adhesives – E-Z Runner Grand / Close to my Heart – Everyday Life Perfect Plan Roller Stamp / Canvas Corp – misc papers / Canvas Corp – Burlap Flower green / Canvas Corp – Burlap Flower red / Avery Elle – Photopolymer Stamps – Canopy set / Impression Obsession Rubber Stamps – Zenspirations – Happy Spring set / Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps – Love Chemistry set / Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps – One Cup at a Time set / Quietfire Design – Gentle Thoughts Rubber Stamps – Give Thanks – set of 2 / Stampendous! - Pop'cessories Die Set – Accessories for making pop-up cards / Technique Tuesday – Photopolymer Stamps – Planner – Fitness / Technique Tuesday – Photopolymer Stamps – Planner – Family Time / Elizabeth Craft Designs – Make n' Take Mania – 'Sweet' card supplies / Lawn Fawn – Photopolymer Clear Stamps – Loads of Fun set / Lawn Fawn – Lawn Cuts Custom Craft Dies – Loads of Fun set / The Crafter's Workshop – Balzer Designs – Mini on the Road / The Crafter's Workshop – Balzer Designs – Mini Tribal Fish / The Resin Rainbow – resin embellishments - chocolate brown set / Tsukineko – pigment ink – Radiant Neon
