A Beach Giveaway (Actually: TWO!)

Today's the final day to sign up for the "Wish You Were Here" Beach Postcards Swap and I've decided to have a Giveaway! (A beach-inspired Giveaway, including the Kraft Postcards needed for the swap.)

And one thing led to another, and the Giveaway package split into TWO! It will be a quick drawing (you have to enter by Tuesday night, May 15th — which, by the way, is the same deadline for entering the "Think PINK" Art Challenge on our Facebook Page). And commenting once will enter you in the drawing for BOTH Giveaway packages! (I'll let the first name (randomly chosen) pick their favorite Giveaway package and the second name chosen will receive the other.)

Both Giveaway packages include the:
- Kraft Postcards and the
- Art Deco Beach Rubber Stamp Set (unmounted version).

So far, so good; now here's were they diverge. So... the first Giveaway package (shown at top right) is the Brighter Combo (really... that's the name... remember it if it's the one you want). In addition to the postcards and stamp set, it includes:
- On the Boardwalk Borders and Seam Binding Set
- Tiny Bubbles Scrapbook Paper
- Travel Stick Pins
- Seashell Sequin Mix
- TWO collage sheets printed on cardstock (Bathing Beauties #1 and Art Deco Luggage Labels)
and a few sold out items I threw in for good measure.

The Softer Colors Giveaway package (shown at left, and that photo doesn't do it justice: the colors are beautiful) also includes the postcards and stamp set, and:
- The new Seahorse Stencil
- Travel Coral Foil Paper
- Sea Glass Labels Scrapbook Paper
- Marie Fiber Set
- TWO collage sheets printed on cardstock (Strange Fish and Seashore)
and a few sold out items I threw in for good measure.

So run over to the blog to enter, but don't forget to come back here 'cause there are some beautiful new art samples by the Design Team that you're not going to want to miss!

Remember: the entire Beach Theme section (including all those Giveaway goodies linked above) is on sale!
