Cutting Edge Stencil Giveaway!

I am excited to announce my first giveaway of 2012! Cutting Edge Stencils is allowing me to choose one lucky reader to win one stencil up to a $50 value!

I was given the chance to try out stenciling for the first time from Cutting Edge Stencils a few weeks ago and was surprised by their modern selection of stencils and my eyes were opened up to all I could do!

I had avoided stenciling in the past because I thought it would be tedious, but was surprised by how easy it was if you follow all the usage tips (like making sure the brush/roller is blotted until almost dry before using). My first project was this little canvas bag, using the Nagoya Med.Craft Stencil.

I think this turned out so cute and found out how fun stenciling can be- 

now that I am more confident I want to try a table next...maybe even a throw pillow?

Ok, enough about me,  here's what you'll need to do to enter:

Giveaway Contest!

I am excited to announce my very first giveaway! Liz from "My Memories" Digital Scrapbooking Software contacted me about hosting a contest where one of my readers will receive a free software package (an almost $40 value! ) and anyone else interested in the software will be able to use my $10 off code whenever they want.

This software has been rated #1 by Amazon and is very user-friendly, the best part is the $10 off code doesn't expire! So you can come back whenever you want and share the code with whoever you want!  

 Now, I admit, scrapbooking has been the one craft that I haven't really gotten into, but this program offers more than just scrapbooking-you can make invitations, birth announcements calendars, photo books, videos, even photography templates!

Here are some examples of designs I have made with My Memories:
