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:

Maren Benedict
Kimberly Crawford
Beatriz Jennings
Kim Kesti
Carolyn King
Anabelle O'Malley
Melissa Phillips
Danni Reid
Sherry Wright

Paper Crafts Connection

Moxie Fab World

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!
