A Contest For My Scrap-Tastic Readers
Filed in: Artsy-Fartsy Scrapbooking Stuff
Hey people! As many of you guys know, I manage the scrapbook kit club over at www.myscrapbooknook.com. This means that I choose all of the products in the kits, buy them, and then manage a design team of talented women who all show off the kit each month. I also manage the message board, where people can come talk about scrapbooking or just life in general (I admit, as much as I like to scrap, I hang out on the everything else forum). It is a really fun little work from home job, and I’m glad to have it!
It recently came to my attention that even though I have been doing this for over a year and a half, I have never done a contest for you guys involving the kit! Time to remedy that, eh?
So here is the deal. If you would like to see this big box of scrappy goodness land on your doorstep absolutely free, leave me a comment here today and tell me what you think of the May Kit, and if you happen to register to chat with me on the message board- do let me know what your user name is!
Also- be warned- I will be holding new Design Team member auditions in just about a month, so if you’re crazy about scrapping, be sure to check back and try out!
I will randomly select a winner on Friday the 9th!
Wow, the May kit is gorgeous!

Love your talent and your choices for the kits…
Comment by Marjorie — May 8, 2008 @ 5:28 pm
The kit is absolutely beautiful! I hope I win!
Comment by Jackie — May 8, 2008 @ 5:41 pm
I found you through Today’s Creative Blog and I love your scrapbooking style! Probably because it’s just like mine!
The May kit rocks. I love the colors and those buttons are too cute. The velvet scalloped ribbon is beautiful. This would be such a pretty Mother’s Day page or would look great on a canvas hung on the wall.
I’ve actually been considering joining your club, I just haven’t done it yet. This kit might just suck me in…unless of course I win!
Thanks for all of your great ideas!

I’m not the most scrapbook-y person and not that creative, but I absolutely love the May kit. Butterflies and flowers. What a perfect choice for spring. Even the colors are awesome. I have to say that I could actually do something creative with this kit.
Comment by Esther — May 8, 2008 @ 7:04 pm
I love this kit! It is girly enough that it makes me happy, but not so feminine that I feel like I can’t use it here at my house with only boys (and me) in it! You do such a good job!

Blackberry Lou, butterflies are my favorite, so of course I love the kit. But don’t bother picking me to win - I’m a scrapper but I’m not even worthy to be in your scraptastic presence and that lovely kit would be wasted on me. But I do want to tell you that I’ve been a reader of your blog for a long time now and I love to pop in to see what you’re up to. Thanks for sharing, this is one of my favorite blogs.
Comment by Carole — May 8, 2008 @ 8:19 pm
This kit it beautiful! I have a soft spot for butterflies … they remind me of my Grandma, who passed away 2 years ago. Love the antique-y feel to this kit!
Comment by jen — May 8, 2008 @ 8:42 pm
OMG!!! Its just horrible. You are going to make me part with more of my money. Butterflies seem to be everywhere these days. I do like them teamed with the vintagy papers. Love the buttons- are they wooden? They sure look wooden. Thanks for the giveaway. In case I get picked then I want to let you know that Im off on vacation on the 9th and wont be able to check you wonderful blog till the 19th. Bu please Lord, let me be the one picked, please…please…

I have been reading your blog for a while but only discovered after reading this entry that you managed a kit club! Am I a bit slow?
The kit is gorgeous, with a real classic feel in rich colours. I would love to have the opportunity to create something with it!

The may kit is totally fabulous, and I am sad that I couldn’t afford it this month - I’ve bought all the others this year!!! Your kits are always brilliant and inspiring. Fingers crossed, my name will be pulled out of your hat!!!
Comment by Annelie Maddock — May 9, 2008 @ 12:46 am

Comment by Kimberly — May 9, 2008 @ 2:34 am
I think it is gorgeus and fits scrapbooking so well, because it is perfect for so many teams that you scrap about. It is perfect for those warm summerdays, for your pictures of flowers in spring, childphotos.. Yes, EVERYTHING!
Comment by Malin — May 9, 2008 @ 2:58 am
I check the kits each month and each month I tell myself that I am going to join. The kits are beautiful and I love the brown & teals of the May kit.

I love that the kit is SO feminin yet in typically “masuline” colours. It brings a great balance and makes the kit VERY versatile and I would LOVE to get my hands on these products!
Keep up the good work!

Hi, I just wandered into your blog while browsing. I haven’t been to a scrapping blog yet and if I had the time to make the time to scrapbook I would totally want that package!! Super cute. Don’t add me into the drawing though….part of the rules should state whoever wins the material has to take a picture of the final product when they’re done using it. I’m interested to see how creative people can get…

Comment by Megan A. — May 9, 2008 @ 11:56 am

I have this kit and it is gorgeous. Hoping to break into it soon.
Comment by Celeste B. — May 10, 2008 @ 6:54 am
I love the idea of the masculine colors with the flowers and the butterflies. I have a little girl and a boy and it can be hard to walk that fine line of masculine and girly at the same time when I am working on a page for both of them.
Have a great weekend!
Comment by Bev — May 10, 2008 @ 7:13 am
Oh, that is a beautiful kit. The colors are awesome and work so well together. I have never heard of Kimberly Poloson…i’ll have to check her out!
Happy Mother’s Day!

Comment by sally whitman — May 10, 2008 @ 9:03 am
I think the kit has a very unique look to it. I am not normally into the “vintage” look, but this is a kit I could use to do more classic type layouts. Love it!
Comment by Sara T. — May 10, 2008 @ 9:23 am
Wow - that is a beautiful kit. I like the vintagey look and the butterflies.

Comment by Jenny — May 10, 2008 @ 11:54 am
I´ve heard a lot (and seen a bit less) about your monthly kits and I´m very curious to try one so this one would be perfect! Exquisite though not my type of scrap, but that is what this is about: challenge yourself with things you might not have bought, isn´t it?
Comment by Meri — May 10, 2008 @ 12:46 pm
Gosh, this looks like something from that beautiful turn-of-the-last century house I grew up in. So elegant, warm, and tasteful. I’ll have to check out your kits, I didn’t know about them before - this means a whole lotta catching up. Thanks for the inspiration
Comment by Darlene — May 10, 2008 @ 12:55 pm

Comment by Katarina Skylare — May 10, 2008 @ 1:44 pm
Ohh, I have spotted a butterfly today even if there was a little snow left here in the north of Sweden. The butterfly was as beautiful as the May-kit.
