it's a party and a giveaway!

   

***Cathy K is the winner!!!!****

I have been working on some fun stuff with a kit from Green Tangerines! They are having a huge two-month-long blog party with lots of creative hosts and over $1000 in prize giveaways!

So, it's my turn to be the hostess and I have some cards I made to share:

 

I am a huge fan of mixing colors and patterns, so I dove right in with mixing several of the yummy patterned papers from the kit to make this Kiss Hug card. One of my favorite things in the kit was this strip of polka-dotted fabric...I used it more than once!

 

I love this little October Afternoon monster...he looks like my youngest does when he wants to be picked up, which is what inspired this "hugs" card. And I used that cool fabric again...

 

I used my Fiskars Scalloped XL Seal of Approval, Large Mint Condition, and Medium Round 'n Round  punches to make these flowers. The kit had a package of blue gems from Kaiser that I used to bling them up.

 

Here's another mixed-papers-lots-of-patterns card where I used the cool clock transparency and the custom-made circle embellishment that was in the kit. I added a kraft circle (Fiskars circle cutter) between the two pieces and used some more of the blue gems (I still have a bunch of those blue gems left over and I used a ton of them!). I don't know if you can tell, but I cut down some of the foam Thickers alphas to make the word "rock" because I wanted it to be a little smaller than the original alpha size. The "o" is the top part of a "g" and the "c" is the original "c" turned on its side and cut. The "r" was left alone and the "k" was just shortened on every side.

There's still enough product in this kit to make at least 193 (rough estimate) more cards (or some layouts! or a mini book!) and now I get to GIVE A KIT AWAY! Between now and 5pm PST (that's 7pm Texas time, or figure out your own time zone's deadline...) on Thursday, May 21, leave a comment and I will randomly choose a winner who will receive an awseome Green Tangerines kit with more than $50 worth of scrappy greatness in it! I'll post the winner's name tomorrow night, so check back.

As far as leaving a comment goes...just say "hi" OR tell me what your family's favorite movie to watch together is (we are looking to expand our movie choices around here!).

OH, and I almost forgot! If you visit the Green Tangerines blog, you'll have another chance to win a free kit!

So, to re-cap:

1. Leave a comment HERE to for a chance to win a free kit

2. Leave a comment at Green Tangerines for a second chance to win a free kit

Easy-peasey! (I have no idea how to spell that.)

Get going! :)

Just came over from the GT blog- love your work!

We like the "good-old-movies" at our house: Swiss Family Robinsons, Sound of Music, Singing in the Rain... or anything with a musical number or two! :)

[Tanis]

Wow! That sounds like one amazing kit!
Fun stuff :)

We are movie crazy over here...rainy days and cold days (and there are PLENTY of those here!) are perfect excuses to grab some popcorn and be lazy :)

I think our favourite movies that everyone likes are the old classic Pink Panther movies...DH just finished collecting all of them.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Those cards totally rock. Just LOVE that product! Anywho, as far as movies go, my husband and I (no kiddos yet!) like to watch lots of movies. Some of my fave family-friendly ones are Parent Trap and Stepmom.

Love the colors and patterns in your card creations! You are so good at that! Our family favorites of movies to watch would be Anne of Green Gables and Annd of Avonlea and the third one (can't remember the name...) and also the National Treasure movies...lots of action, clean and lots of history tidbits! Thanks for the giveaway! Blessings!

Great cards! It's a Christmas movie ... but, we love to watch The Polar Express together as a family.

[Rhonda Tole]

Oh my gosh so cute how do you come up with great ideas. Is it a natural gift?

Great job with the cards - thanks for sharing!

[Angela Turner]

Super duper cute! :)

[Jennifer]

Just wanted to tell you your cards are great!!! As far as the movie thing goes we loved "Mall Cop" and "Hotel for Dogs"!!!!

[Tammy]

Too cute!! Depending on age, the Kit Kitredge movie was a great watch with my daughter - we talked about the Depression, etc. afterwards. For light fare we like Princess Diaries or Night at the Museum. :)

[Rachael Wood]

that first card is SOOOOO fun! I may have to lift it!

[Karen]

Great cards, love how you mixed up the patterned papers.

[Cathy K.]

Love those cards, great mix of patterns!

[Lynne Ashcraft]

Love your cards! Thanks for sharing. Just me and the hubby so our favorite family movie is not technically a family movie. There are probably two that we constantly watch over and over and never get sick of. They are "State and Main" and "Home for the Holidays"

[Judy Gallegos]

Great work on all your cards. Our favorite family movie right now is BOLT. Just love that dog!!!

[Brianna T.]

Great cards! That kit looks awesome!!

[Marcy Grant]

Your cards are beautiful! Favorite movie... LOTS! Family favorites include : African Queen, the Sting, Roman Holiday, Sabrina, Mr Holland's Opus, Remember the Titans, Iron Will, Little Women, Old Yeller, Finding Netherland and all the Anne of Green Gables...I could go on and on. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love the little monster card you made. It's so cute! Our favorite movie amazingly enough is Monsters Incorporated. LOL
