A House of Cards

225 Cards and Gifts Blog Hop & Giveaway!!!

Cards and gifts are some of my absolute FAVORITE things to create, as you may already know.

Well... Paper Crafts magazine has a new special issue called 225 Cards & Gifts coming out on April 28th.


To celebrate, Paper Crafts is having a blog hop with some of the designers featured in this issue. (Amazingly talented ladies, I tell ya!)

What does that mean for 3 lucky people? Prizes, prizes, prizes!!!!

What prizes you ask? There are three AWESOME prizes up for grabs from Provo Craft: a Cricut Expression, a YourStory Laminator/Binder, or a Yudu Screen-Printing Machine. How exciting is that!?!

Here is where the blog hop comes in. Leave a comment here on my blog letting me know about which of the prizes you are most excited about, and then hop on over and leave a comment on the blogs of the other participants:


This will give you 12 chances to win one of these fabulous prizes. The deadline for commenting on all 12 blogs is Sunday, April 26 at midnight MST. The winners will be announced on both the Moxie Fab World and PC Connection blogs on Tuesday, April 28.


Well, I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of this magazine! I know it will be jam packed with amazingly beautiful projects. So in honor of this issue, I decided to get out my supplies and work on a special gift for Mother's Day. It is a photo holder for my mom.



She is "Memaw" to my girls, and we are so very thankful for her. I hope she likes it. Love you, Mom!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and good luck. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Rozette said...

Gosh my favorite would have to be the laminator or the yudu. It is hard to choose but perhaps the yudu.

By the way, I love your playlist. and the memaw box....my grandmother was memaw to my daughter.

I am most excited about the The Cricut Expression. I don’t think I will ever buy one myself because its way to expensive for my budget.

Traveling Mama said...

I would love the cricut! Super cute project too! Love that ribbon and the adorable flower!

Prairie Scrapbooking said...

beautiful gift. Thanks for a chance to win.

Lisa Hjulberg said...

I'd probably like the Cricut Expression the most because I have the original small Cricut and a fair amount of cartridges already, so having the bigger one with more bells and whistles would be fun!

Elizabeth said...

Your blog is great! Love the music too. :o)

I would love to have a YUDU! How cool would that be???

Ginny Larsen said...

the cricut... seriously there's so much potential for projects in just one machine... amazing.

It would be the Yuda screen printing machine because I know how excite my son would be. He is paints shoes for his friends and I'm sure he would go nuts over printing T-shirts. I would love to share this with him.

Deanna said...

I really want the Yudo Screen-Printing Machine, that would be so out of the box for me and witha 4 year old, it would be something we could craft together!
