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!

Jacquie Williamson said...

Hmm! That's a hard decision. I have a Cricut, but I would love the have the Expression. The other two sound great too though.

Laura Evangeline said...

I feel like I've been outta the crafting loop for ages though I've only been gone for a few months! I'd love to play with any one of these prizes. They're all so YUMMY!

Tammy said...

Thanks for sharing!!

Tina said...

I would absolutely LOVE to win a cricut. I have been drooling over the expression for quite awhile now. How fun!!

CalleLillyCafe said...

First & foremost?... Cricut Expression. A close second...Yudu screen printing machine! =)

Not picky though! Any of the three! {wink}

You know what- I think I'm going to do something like your Mother's Day gift for my mom... It's so PRETTY!

I'm MOST excited about the Cricut... though they are ALL so superdy-duper!!!

Cropaddict said...

I think it would be fun to try out the Yudu Screen-Printing Machine. I just bought a Cricut Create.

pattyb said...

I would love to win the Cricut Expression...here's hoping **fingers crossed**

Any prize would be amazing, but to be able to screen print at home is just out of this world! Love it!

Lou said...

great idea and cute photo holder. I would love to win the cricut the most but wouldn't turn down the other two! LOL

Brandon April Owens said...

Love that idea for project...may have to borrow it.

Lynnette said...

I think I would be most excited to win the Cricut Expression. I can imagine that it would be so versatile.

*Suzy* said...

That card hold is just so flippin cute! You Rock!

I'd be over the hill to win the storybook/laminator. I like to put my own books together, so this would be a real treat instead of looking through my guy's shop for tools to help me.

I love your project! How did you make the flower?

My favorite of the prizes is the Cricut. I've been saving to buy a die cut machine for the past month. If I were to win a Cricut I could use my savings for cartridges!!

Vana63 said...

thanks
debbie peysen

I hope I did not do this twice as I somehow lost my first one.

huntla1 said...

Really cute and colorful picture holder. I am sure Memaw will love it -- I just hope she doesn't read your blog or the surprise is spoiled! On my first post I put the Cricut Expression as my first choice, and the YUDU as my second choice. But, by the time I was done talking about screen printing and how it was something I have never tried, I think the YUDU would definitely be my first choice. (Cricut is clearly second by a hair!)

Erin R said...
