Giveaways

It’s time to announce the winner of our sponsor giveaway from Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits! We kicked off the giveaway last week here, asking you to share stories of ways that you made non-boyish pages & embellishments “work” for the men in your lives. I enjoyed reading your answers! Some were QUITE creative!

We had more than 50 responses and of those, our randomly selected winner was Annette Marlow who said,

I almost always use the Tim Holtz texture hammer to give it some “damaged” rough aka tough lol look… I like to emboss with copper, silver or even dark blues embossing powder heat emboss then “hammer” it for an added affect.

Congratulations, Annette! Be sure to email me your mailing address so that Boys Rule can ship you your prize. Many thanks to all who played along and to Boys Rule for sponsoring. Stay tuned …. we have another giveaway right around the corner!!

Pink Paislee Nantucket Giveaway

Last week, we kicked off a “just for fun” giveaway here. To enter to win the complete Nantucket collection from Pink Paislee, all you had to do was tell us who your “teen” crush was. We had a total of 159 comments and let me tell you, the answers were HILARIOUS!! It was such a fun walk down memory lane as you all shared comments about teen crushes including Elvis, Davy Jones, Shaun Cassidy, Eric Estrada, Donny Osmond, Leif Garrett, Kirk Cameron and more. This was perhaps one of my favorite giveaways in a while

The randomly chosen winner of the Pink Paislee Nantucket Giveaway was Jennifer Mennetti who said:

Well it would have to be Matt Dillion – I had pin ups all over my room of him…. Still have them protected in a 3 ring binder…. Rob Lowe was another cutie….yumm… But during my “rock” years I had a poster David Lee Roth in a swimming pool on my ceiling above my bed…. freaked my poor grandmother out when she came to stay with us and slept in my room…. hehehe…

Congrats Jennifer! Email us your shipping address so that Pink Paislee can send you your prize package!
