Christine, over at christine-murphy.net just launched an awesome contest. She’s giving away a Tag-A-Long Starter Kit, from Sizzix/Ellison Design, along with a Sizzlits 4-pack of dies, a cat face die, extra cutting pads & a rubber stamp. I’m really excited about it and hope to win because that’s exactly the set I need to work on things for my daughter’s wedding & I just haven’t been able to justify the cost to myself. I would really love to use that small tag die set to decorate her favor boxes, it would make that job so much easier & the boxes would look so much more professional than they would if I just cut everything out by hand.

She’s also offering a 2nd & 3rd prize, which is a year’s subscription to Creating Memories, Memory Makers, Paper Crafts or Simple Scrapbooks. I’d love to have a subscription to Paper Crafts, so I’d be happy to win either of those prizes, too. I love doing paper crafts, especially making my own cards & invitations. I like to be different and have what I give to people stand out, and making my own cards helps me do that. A couple of years ago, I made Christmas cards for my friends and I loved the looks on their faces when they opened them, because they weren’t premade things that anyone might give them. I’d also like to get into making ATCs (artist trading cards) eventually, there are a lot of neat swaps over at Craftster featuring them & I love to look at how unique each one is.
