THANK YOU GIVEAWAY

Hi peeps. As promised, to celebrate all the lovely people that follow my blog, I am doing a giveaway. I just passed the 200 followers and I want to thank you for choosing to follow my blog. I am so excited and happy to have you here and I hope you'll continue enjoying your visit to my corner of happy place. I really appreciate you all.

150 SHEETS OF 6 x 6 PATTERNED PAPERS
including papers from this collection:
Basic Grey Curio
Basic Grey Bittersweet
Basic Grey Patterned Paper
Basic Grey Indian Summer
Making Memories

You will receive at least 150 sheets of  6x6 papers. Now, you probably end up with more papers and some extra goodies sneak in there. I like to add stuff to my goody box. :)

To win this, there's several ways to enter:
1. Simply leave a comment. Tell me how did you find my blog, or why you choose to visit here or what improvement would you like to see, etc.
2. Post about this giveaway on your blog or your blog side bar (you can choose to post one of the pricture above) and let me know you did that by leaving me another comment here on this post, with a link to your blog.
3. Post about this giveaway on your Facebook and leave me

The giveaway is open till FEBRUARY 10, 2011. Winner will be announced on February 11.

And that's it. Easy peasy. You don't have to follow my blog in order to enter the giveaway, cause I want you to follow my blog because you want to and not because you have to. :) If you choose to follow, thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Please do let me know if you're a new follower, so I can stop by your blog as well. Good luck!

I am a follower of your blog. I must admit I follow so many cardmaking blogs that I can't tell how or even when I found yours. I keep following just because I love seeing inspiring cards.
Thanks for a chance at your candy, I am a complete paper addict...

cowboydutrem said...

It's me again! I've put a link to your giveaway in my sidebar.

I often come to your blog to see how you create the card using stamping on white card. Love the way you color images and put it on a simple card.
Congrats on 200 followers, Vera.

Hi Vera,
I have been a follower and subscriber to your blog since you were in the Gallery Idol contest and I fell in love with your ribbon goldfish card.

I am going to link up your Thank You giveaway to my blog ( http://colortheway.blogspot.com ) and would love if you stopped in since I just recently started my blog earlier this month.

I would love to win some of the paper from this giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity and your generosity to offer it!

*Hugs*

Levana Xu said...

Hi vera,

I don't know there's a lot of crafter from Indonesia, until I'm being a friend of Dwita, you might know her. Yea, u absolutely know her, because I found the chance of this candy by her blog's posting. After looking around your blog for two days, my comment toward your creation is two words "WOW, COOL!!" The Idea is chic and simple, but it has unique style. I called it as Vera's exclusive :), too bad you didn't write what's the brand and the name of each tools that you use for each creation. I hope for the next card, you sincerely to let us know.

I also have attached your giveaway aside my blog, thanks for the chance for that lovely paper. Whole of my life I haven't own and tried it, hope that I can win it. *finger crossed*

Levana Xu said...

Veraa... I'm back.. Congratz for reaching more than 200 followers. I'm gonna looking forward your updates ♥

I'm wondering, why the pictures of the giveaway is invisible, I've checked my blog and the other blog who attached your giveaway, but I didn't see visible picture there..

stampinjane said...

I do not remember whether or not I found you thru a blog link or if I saw one of your entries to a challenge, but regardless I am certainly glad I did! I subscribed to receive your posts right away and have been a fan ever since! Thank you for sharing your creativity!
