Giveaway opportunity

Do you fancy winning a lovely piece of jewellery? Well we've got the opportunity for you to do this over on the Beader's Companion blog simply by telling us what you think. Yup, you heard me right guys and girls - if you hop across to the Beader's Companion blog and write a comment on the 'Win my demo piece' post, telling us what you think of the new range then you could win one of the demo pieces from the new Mix & Mingle range that I showed live on the the Pick of the Day Ideal World show last week. You have until 5pm this Friday (23rd) to post your comment.

You can see the entire range of the Mix & Mingle range by going here but I will also add a few yummy pictures for you below so that you can see just how gorgeous they are. You could create a lovely charm bracelet as a gift for someone then go on to make a gift box for it using the Boxer Board. How's that for a truly personal handmade gift for a loved one?

Today I spotted this gorgeous creation on our American Crafter's Companion blog and I wanted to share it with you...after all it would be rude not to share wouldn't it?!

The lovely Stacy created this decoupaged Popcorn the Bear easel card using 12x12 Fairyopolis paper, the Crafter's Companion Ultimate Board and the Popcorn the Bear Birthday Collection CD-ROM. The accompanying envelobox was created using the Envelobox Creator. 

Just under the easel card is a pull out drawer where you could pop in a little gift for the lucky recipient. She's one talented lady isn't she?










In other news, I've got another sneak peek for you from the brand new Humphrey's Corner collection that launches on Monday on Create & Craft. Today's project comes from DT member Jane Carroll and I thought I'd show you something slightly different today to demonstrate the versatility of the new collection. Jane has created this beautiful gift bag using decoupage images and papers from the CD-ROM. Jane has made quite a few other makes using the new collection so be sure to hop across to her blog to see what else she's been busy making!

Don't forget, if you haven't already done so, to enter the competitions to win a complete set of the new Christmas Humphrey range. You can do this by either going to Monday's post on here or by hopping over to the competitions section of the main Crafter's Companion site. Remember you need to be logged in on the Crafter's Companion site to see the competition. If you're not already registered then it's really simple to do - just click here to register!

A little patience

They say patience is a virtue and I'm afraid you'll need to put this saying into practise while you wait a teeny weeny bit longer for the new Humphrey's Corner Christmas collection to launch. It's not long now though, I promise! In just 5 days time you will be able to get your hands on the 12 brand new stamp sets and the twin-set CD-ROM.

We have two different ways for you to win the complete set so read on if you want to find out more!

The first way is by going to Monday's post (2 posts down!) and copy & pasting the blog badge shown onto your blog. Once you have done this simply fill out your details on the Mr Linky form at the bottom of Monday's post. All you have to do then is sit back, cross your fingers and hope that your name gets selected at random!

The second way for you to get your mitts on a complete set is by going to the competitions section of the Crafter's Companion website (you will need to be a member and be logged in to see it) then answer the very simple question before filling in your details. You know how to double your chances don't you? Yup, that's right - enter both competitions!!

Have you liked what you have seen so far though? Want to see more? Well who am I to deny you of the gorgeousness that is Humphrey! Below are a couple more stamp images that are part of the collection...

...and if you would like to see what can be done with the super-cute images from the twin CD-ROM set then DT member Marianne Fisher has stepped up to the plate with this lovely example. Marianne has made a few cards using the new Humphrey images so be sure to hop over to her blog to see what else she has been up to!
