It’s Monday morning, and time to announce the winners of last week’s Free Stuff Friday! Our question last week was: What is your favorite holiday and why?

People answered to enter to win the “Page Accents in Deep Primary”. The package contains 502 pieces of 12 x 12 page accents in primary colors. Includes 30 large borders, 52 large frames & tags, 420 borders, frames, tags, corners, shapes and page markers. All pages are reversible, revealing two colors per shape.

The winning answers were:

Debi - I think my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. This is the best time for all of my family to get together without the stress of having to buy presents. The only stress of Thanksgiving is figuring out when to stop eating! Lol

Kim - My favorite holiday is always the one we happen to be celebrating. It takes me a few days to switch gears once the holiday is over- for example, I really like the warm fall colors of Thanksgiving and could enjoy them for another week or so, but once I get my Christmas decorations out, I will be ready for red and green and white and gold and silver. The hardest transition for me is always when Christmas is over.

It’s the day after Thanksgiving, hope you are enjoying your leftovers! Are you stuck at work or did you spend the day shopping?

Last week our prize was the  ”Designing with Fabric: Imaginative Ways to Incorporate Fabric into Your Scrapbooking & Paper Arts Projects” by Autumn Leaves. Design books are a great resource for ideas and inspiration. This book is a collaboration of fifteen designers and how they use fabric in their scrapbooking projects. The entire book is dedicated to showing different ideas of using fabric, ribbon, trim and buttons into your memory projects. The photos in this book are beautiful! A must-have for paper crafters.

Last week’s question: What is your favorite handmade gift idea?

The winning answer:

My favorite homemade gift is quilts made just for the person receiving them. Sometimes I make mini-quilts that are great as wallhangings, others are full size for a wrap or on a bed. Each gets a personalized tag as well. Design a simple label on the computer, reverse print it on very thin paper, then glue it upside-down on a small piece of muslin. When dry carefully rub off the paper to expose the label and seal it with a permanent fabric glue and also glue it to a corner of the quilt.

We have a case of the Fridays! You know that Friday slump when your brain is toast and all you can think about is the weekend?!  So we have the perfect cure…Free Stuff Fridays!

Jenn - My favorite rainy day craft is sewing. Could be an ornament, working on my quilt, or anything else I come up. Usually quick easy crafts since I’m hardly a sewing pro!
