Hodge Podge Challenge - The Poll is Up!

Hi Everyone,

Well Customer Appreciation Day was a success and I'm happy to announce that so was the Hodge Podge Challenge!

13 participants uploaded their photos to the gallery and the poll is now up! If you haven't already, please take a moment to peruse the 2 pages and cast your vote. There are so many wonderful choices that I'm so glad that you all are voting as I think they should all win!

Well, you all saw the way my paper started and how partially how it ended up after cutting, but I was waiting to share the card I made until everyone had uploaded their photos...so without further ado...here is what I made.

This was a lot of fun and I was actually able to use my sewing machine to add a little border around the front. The neat thing about this challenge is that you couldn't plan what colors or designs were going to show up! It was like a neat little surprise present LOL!

I hope you all try it sometime, I'ld love to see what you come up with!

After the Big Bash it's time to clean up!

At least that's how I feel right now LOL! There was so much going right into and on the day of the Customer Appreciation Day that I have spent the last couple of days regrouping.

I hope everyone had a wonderful day and enjoyed the free offerings and all of the games and challenges on the board!

I'm pretty excited that so many people took me up on my Hodge Podge Challenge. I just wanted to give you a quick peek of what my messy paper looked like after I cut it out:



Isn't that neat...the challenge was really one geared to show you how easy it is to make your own one of a kind designed by you cardstock!

I did make a card with it which I will share a little later once everyone has put theirs into the gallery. Laury jumped right in and posted her pic to the gallery. Now she killed 2 birds with one stone by using Jan's flower challenge and mine together for a super cute card! Make sure you check back and see the other ones that should start to trickle in!

Have a great night everyone!

Only 2 more days.....

...until Customer Appreciation Day at Paperthreads! I'm so excited and I'm hoping that you are all looking forward to it as well!

I'm going to be hosting a HODGE PODGE challenge on the forum but need you to do a little preparation for it...so get out a piece of white cardstock (I'm working on 8.5 x 11 since not everyone can do a 12 x 12) and pull out your rubber stamps and pads and go nuts! It doesnt' matter what colors you choose or what stamps...the more the merrier! In the end you are going to end up with a pretty good mess but trust me, you will like what you end up with. Here's a sneak peak at my stamped page:



Thank goodness I have quite a stock of rubber stamps thanks to my most extraordinary talented younger sister! If you haven't checked out her blog and are looking for some cool card ideas, just click on this link. She is amazing and so are here cards! I love the details she puts into them. It's not just big (and as she would say MUCH OLDER) sister pride talking here, I really love everything she has made me and I have kept them all too! The craft gene runs strong in our family...even my cute Phoebelishus niece likes to get into the act!

Anyway, get ready to have some fun on Monday...YOU are going to be very happy that you are part of the Paperthreads family as there will be some free files, fun contests, and sales...Great Sales!

Counting down the days!

My Oh My....Special Coupon Code!

Where has the time gone?! I have been trying to be so good and update my blog on a fairly consistant basis and then Wham Bam - Time Flies!


OK...so let me start out by announcing that I have some limited coupons for one of my current favorite files...the Love Spinner.

If you are interested it is 35% off today only. Click here for the link. When you check out just use the following coupon code to get your discount:
EC_0209_jkj87



While I'm at it, as a bonus, I also have limited coupons for another one of my favorites...Keys & Locks. Same deal, you can just click here to be taken directly to the store (or just use the search and type in EC00072). The coupon code to get 35% off is: EC_0209_des43

Since these are limited, you might not want to wait too long. If you get to the checkout and the coupon doesn't work, it only means that they have all been used up.


Finally, for the month of February, my All Occasion Accents (EC00052) are on sale for only $1.79. That's 40% off the regular price. No coupon code needed for this one. Here is the link and the sale price is good all month long (woo hoo!).

OK...so that feels pretty good...I love days with sales and coupons! I have been working on some new files and I can't wait to share there here.

In the meantime, take care!
Eddita :)
