Fast and Fresh Giveaway...

Good evening!  Thanks for all the well wishes coming from my fellow twitter folks.  Colin and I have been slammed big time by allergies - we are doing pretty rough.  But we will be fine.  I had a class tonight, which I made through thanks to some meds. :)

Wanted to do a post before heading to bed...

First, quickly, I wanted to announce that Kellie Cox is the winner of the My Favorite Things stamp giveaway.  Congrats!

Next, I have another giveaway!

Creating Keepsakes has a new special issue out that I LOVE.  It is called Fast and Fresh Scrapbooks and it goes on sale today.  Want a sneak peek?  Just click HERE.  Sweet, huh?  One thing I love about the book is it has a lot of great tips, along with yummy page ideas.

If you would like to get your copy, use code "FAST-BLOG" for 20% off your purchase at the Creating Keepakes Shop HERE between May 10-31.

In the meantime, I have a copy to give away!  Just leave a comment by Friday at 11:59pmEST telling me your favorite idea book or site and I will pick a winner of this new book...

(Another quick note: If you are in the Cincinnati/Dayton area, Jana is teaching a Copic class at Simply Scrapbooks.  This will be a GREAT class - click HERE for info.)

[Barb]

[Allison T.]

I am always inspired by the magazine Cards. Such wonderful inspiration! Love it!

[Hannah Means]

I started journaling more effectively after reading Rebecca Sower's Scrapbooking Life's Little Treasures. She is so inspiring!

[lohersh]

There are so many good places for inspiration, but I get my faves from Two Peas in a Bucket!

[April]

great inspiration - love the give away

[America]

Two Peas in a Bucket is by far a favorite. Creating Keepsakes and Scrapbooks Etc magazines are great too!

[Bel]

I also get so much inspiration from product blogs (American Crafts, Hero Arts) and scrapbookers (Kelly Purkey is a fave).

[pcm]

really, i am not just sucking up! My first idea site is this blog then I like to go to hero arts and Lucy's blog. I tend to spin out from there... Thanks for the chances to win and the daily inspiration!

[Lisa in MI]

I wish I was back in Cincy. I'd be at both of your classes. :)

[Christine Villacarlos]

Love the Dares, Ali Edwards and Cathy Zielske books - always inspired by them :)

[Katrina H.]

That looks like a great magazine! I hope you and Colin get feeling better soon!

[Sarah M]

You and Hero Arts (and Hero's flickr group)are my go to sites for card making. Still loving your 101 Things... though it's seen better days. ;) I could really use a new inspirational book. I haven't done nearly enough scrapping lately.

[margaret]

Two peas is the site I go to for inspiration. Love that site.

[Heather]

I love Becky Fleck's Sketch book.

[Katrina H.]

Oops! I didn't read your post carefully enough. I like Creating Keepsakes and your blog.

[kristal]

[Marix]

i'm always on a look out for inspiration!
Aside from your blog and Hero Arts, I like splitcoaststampers site
and my all time fave My Creative Companion 2 book by Becky Higgins

Thanks for a chance to win!

[Elaine]

What fun! I love any book or magazine that has mini album ideas. I can never seem to get enough of those! :)

[Amanda H]

Everyone's blogs are my favorite sources of information. I don't really buy magazines, because they tend to pile up.

[Ann]

I love going to the Pagemaps blog to get inspiration for layouts.

[Brenda Lubrant]

I just checked out the sneak preview and I see some pretty good ideas.

[Elizabeth]

Currently I am loving 52 More Scrapbooking Challenges by Elizabeth Kartchner.

[Jean D]

I still love the original Becky Higgins sketch book for scrapbooking although the fast pages with 4x6 photos is also goo. For card making I love The Joy of card making - sketches and "recipes" inspire me most.

[Ashley Nguyen Newell]

I'd have to say Splitcoast is my favorite site for inspiration.

[ann i.]

Creating Keepsakes has always been a favorite...

[diane mcvey]

To be honest I would have to say that yours is my favorite site. I absolutely need to get my Jennifermcguireink fix everyday. You are such a great inspiration to all of us paper crafters and such a terrific role model.

I find your article in CK first before I look at the rest of the magazine...I like that you share one technique and how to do it many times over...I also love the sketches b4 from Becki Higgins and now the collection in CK. I have been getting new inspiration from 365 Cards and MojoMonday. There is so much inspiration Colin are doing better.
