Winner of the February Freebie Frenzy

Hi girls (cos most of you are!)

This is an extremely quick post - because I am on my way out dancing... only for the exercise, I'll point out... something I dearly need! LOL

Anyway, I'll cut to the chase... the winner this month is.....

THRIFTYCRAFTER - Karelyn! Honey stabbed the bit of paper and the nearest number (for each comment) was yours Karelyn. So well done to you.

Send me an email!

Thank you to all who took part this month. I was interested to read your comments re Hybrid crafting.

I will be writing an article and some "How-to's" all about Hybrid Scrapping and card making as I am designing some more kits - some of which will be Freebies.

Anyone who missed it, take a look at the post on Sunday 8th Feb - there is a link to a free downloadable kit for making a card... as it's free you may like to give it a try?

Warm Wishes to everyone!

February's SimplyScrapbookingNow.com FREEBIE

Hi there everyone, it's time for the Freebie Frenzie!

If you want to have a chance of winning this lovely stash.....

...then (if you are a subscriber to the Newsletter)... you need to leave a comment here.

Tomorrow around 6.45pm GMT I will pick a name "out of the hat" as usual and post the name on the blog soon after. The winner will need to answer a question about the Newsletter, so if you haven't already signed up for the newsletter, you can do so now and then leave a comment here.

And for a bit of interest... when you comment here... you might like to tell us whether you have tried "hybrid" scrapbooking (or cards, or whatever).

Good luck everyone!

January Winner for the Freebie and a little sunshine.

Ok, hubby has "done the thing with the pin" !!! And the winner is....

GINA. Well done Gina! Send me an email with your postal address and the answer to the question (see previous post) and the papers pack will be winging it's way to you soon.

To the rest of you lovely ladies... thank you for your company on the blog... and I hope you have better luck next time?! I shall see what yummy stash I can find for the Feb Freebie Frenzy.

While I was scrapping the buttons on my little album pages the sun was shining... ah it was lovely. My room faces south and I had to hang a piece of gauze across the window to stop me from squinting!

But as usual... my Jack Russell - Toffee - had noticed the beam of sunlight across the room. Toffee can always be found wherever there is sunlight... she is a real sun worshipper!

So I thought, as I had my camera beside me, I would snap the evidence of the little madam trying to catch a few rays. She had moved to the farthest point of the room which is actually the wall of the en suite shower room (yes folks, I pinched the master bedroom for my craft room/office... well let's face it..., all you do in a bedroom is sleep... right? so it doesn't need to be the biggest bedroom, right?! LOL Well that was my argument anyway... and my hubby bought it!).

Anyway... you can see the "slit of sunlight" she's in can't you... bless her!

Freebie Frenzy Winner - and a Ribbon Holder eBook Give Away

Well... Miles (my hubby) has a cold! It's not Man-Flu because he will actually "keep going" (too much sometimes) - he was vacuuming this evening... so I can't complain about that.

He's got a right "streamer" though, and at the moment he is tucked up on the sofa bed in the lounge watching the television... I think it's the Royal Variety Performance on BBC!

Apparently there's nothing else on, he tells me!

Anyway, I only know this because I have just been downstairs to ask him to stick a pin in the Freebie Frenzy piece of paper.

So... the winner of the kit is..... (but also see below)

KIM...! Well done to you... you need to send me your postal address via this email address.

And as a RAK (Random Act of Kindness) the second "pin hole" tells me that I will be sending a copy of my Ebook...

... to Debs, who has a blog "Pink Dandelion".

So let me know what email address you want me to send the book to Debs.

Thank You to all you lovely people who took part in the Freebie this month.

As for the picture above... it was one of the photos I had to "stage manage", but it came out quite well I think!

JEAN...!

Number 7 was picked out and the 7th comment was Jean's.

So congratulations Jean, you're November's winner! Send me an email with your postal address and the code from the Email Alert. If you signed up last night or today however, then make sure you use the same email address as you did for signing up to the Newsletter, and I can match up your sub!

Anyhoo... I want to give a RAK as well, this time it is a copy of my ebook (and the bonus ebook) which is available from EasyRibbonHolder.com (if you have already seen the Newsletter there is a special link from each Newsletter, just click the picture of the book)

The book is called the "Fast, Easy and Virtually Free Ribbon Storage Solution", and it is a full colour, step by step guide showing how to make your own ribbon holders, for virtually nothing. And you can make as many azs you want whenever you want. The bonus book shows you how to make the Ribbon Reorder Ring which is an extremely easy way to keep track of your ribbon collection.

So the RAK (picked out in the same way) goes to... number 10 comment... so that's...

PATRICIA !!

Well done, Patricia you need to send me an email just like Jean, but I only need your email address.

I want to thank you all for coming over to the blog and posting a comment, it is REALLY lovely to hear from you... a bit of interaction makes my day.

Freebie Frenzy - little extension!

Hi all... thank you to those who have already left a comment on the blog... your names have been entered for the draw... I did forget that I am out this evening "dancing" or should I say "Exercising!!"

So rather than rush to make the draw before, I will do it later when I get home. This means you have a couple more hours to leave a message here (see post below) and thereby be entered into the draw for the kit.

So I will post who the winner is around 11.30pm tonight! Good luck!

I will, of course be huffing and puffing and be somewhat red in the face whilst picking the winner!!! LOL

I'm only kidding... I've usually stopped the wheezing by the time I've driven home! LOL even more!

It's Newsletter Freebie Frenzy time!

Well it's the middle of November and time for the SimplyScrapbookingNow.com Newsletter Freebie.

There are Papers, Stamps, ink, ribbon and fibres, chipboard and embellishments.

Here's a photo of this month's Freebie Frenzy Kit!



I've gone for a "winter theme" here which can be used for Christmas, but are suitable for any "chilly" Scrapbooking Layouts! The kit consists of:

• Six 8.5x8.5" Patterned paper from the "Garden Collage" Pad by K&Company,
• Set of six word clear stamps by Studio G (Dovecraft) - of a Winter theme,
• One Blue/turquoise ink pad from Papermania
• 3 chipboard swirls from Maya Road
• 4 metres of blue and white ribbons (over 4m actually)
• 2 metres of fibres (gold and white)
• Plus as assortment of white and clear beads in various shapes and sizes.

Don't forget that this kit will be shipped anywhere, so you can take part no matter where you are in the world.

You do have to be a subscriber of the Newsletter to enter, but you can sign up from this blog or from the http://www.simplyscrapbookingnow.com/ website.

This is my way to say thank you to all my subscribers.

Just leave a comment here and then a name will be picked out at random this time tomorrow (so around 7.30pm GMT). Oh and maybe this month you would like to tell me what size Layouts you like to create most... or maybe you make more mini albums or even cards.

Good luck everyone.

Freebie Frenzy...And the Winner is....

Well the lines are closed... as they say on the TV! LOL Thanks for entering in the spirit everyone! Nice to see you all!

And the computer picked out the winner at random with a highly complicated algorithm which took many technical people months to perfect... oh all right then, the real way this was done this evening...

I wrote a number for each person who had commented on the Scrapbooking Freebie Frenzy post, onto the middle of a piece of paper, in a mixed up fashion. I then took the paper downstairs, with pin in hand, gave the pin to my husband, held the paper up with the numbers facing away from him and asked him to stick the pin in the paper anywhere he liked!

So... all mod cons and hi-tech stuff here! LOL

And the winner is.... Denyze! Denyze your number is up! It has a large pin 'ole through it! So email me your postal address and the kit can be winging it's way to you very shortly!

Actually... hang on a mo.... I will just pop downstairs and ask my man (!) to stick the pin in again and I'll send a little something as a RAK to someone else from the list...!

Ok... update... the pin (which I have to say was thrust rather forcefully into the paper this time!) stuck right through the number which corresponds to Siobhan! So as apparently your fave colour is green, I shall send a green RAK to you!

Well done to you both and a big thank you to all those who came over and commented this month.
