Now that we are deep into 2012 and my Design Team term working with Spellbinders was offically over in March.... I thought it would be fun to look back on lots of the projects that I was able to create for them throughout 2011 and early 2012. Because they used our projects for different reasons, we weren't able to share or post our creations on our blogs until they appeared in the Spellbinders Idea Gallery. And because I wasn't very good at following up on them.... that means I get to share a lot
of them in one big post here!
Soooooooo..... I thought it would be fun to post some of my favorite projects and hopefully hear what yours are! Leave a comment telling me which project is your fave and you will be entered to win the big Spellbinders giveaway. See what's included at the bottom of this post!
Thanks for stopping by!
I love love love Spellbinders and all their products! They were insanely generous with us and I will always be so grateful for the fun opportunity I had! But seriously... I have so many fun dies now that I won't possibly use them all. That's why I've gone through my collection and have decided to give a bunch away to one lucky winner. All of these dies may or may not have even been used. And if they were used.... it was only a very few times. Leave a comment telling me which of my projects shown above is your favorite by Monday, May 28th and you could win all of this valued at over $400.00 retail:
Good luck and thanks for stopping by!
I like the cute pilgrim hat! So simple, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on all your success, Shanna!!
I love the last "Thank you" card, it reminds me of a quilt, (which I love) and the colors are fantastic! Love Penny Scrap-aholic.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletehmmm... that's a hard one but I think I'm going to have to go with the halloween layout. Those spiders are way too cute!! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! So many amazing projects here! My favorite, though, is the yellow frame with the flowers in the green polka dotted pot. So, so pretty!!! And what an amazing giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite page is the one with the girls team with stars. Thank you for the chance to win this great gift. Linda J
ReplyDeleteAll the projects are amazing. I guess my favourite would be the little Dr. Seuss "Read" card. It's so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You have a lovely blog (and I admire you for blogging). I just love Families are Forever! Just gorgeous! And I found inspiration. Thanks again. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThat is very hard all your projects are lovely! I think I need to subscribe to your blog just to see your beautiful projects! Tfs :) perlaruelas81@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteAll the projects are great Shanna, but my fav is the beautiful holiday candle. What was once an ordinary candle is now an extraordinary candle "dressed" up with pretty papers, embellishments and ribbon! nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love that border on the first project in the shadow box. So gorgeous and perfect for so many uses. Thanks for the opportunity to win. Great projects.
ReplyDeleteThey are all so pretty it's hard to pick one! I like the vase of flowers with the butterfly and the friend thank you card. I like the doily like shapes too and the border on the first layout. Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteAs always, your work is lovely. I really like the first project and the embellies used on it.
ReplyDeleteWHOA BABY, that is a GIVEAWAY - thanks for the chance, Shanna! My favorite project is the first one - I'm a sucker for family groups, and you used blue, so that one wins in my eyes!
ReplyDeleteHow generous of you. It is hard to choose 1, but I love the Christmas card with the flower and the alter one is the Christmas Candle.
ReplyDelete1st bookmarked your blog...lots of fun ideas. The one I want to make is "Aloha" since my husband and I just celebrated our 23rd anniversary this month. We married in Maui and your special card reminds me of that time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win all the wonderful goodies. I own the original purple Spellbinder.
I love the "Read" tag the sentiment and the birdie embellishment.
ReplyDeleteYay what a fun amazing giveaway! All the projects are fantastic, but I am a cardmaker so my favorite is the two peas in a pod card. Loved the colors and the tulle and the little faces on the peas! I also loved the flowers in a frame as well as the card with the little girl holding flowers - the colors are so vibrant and the flowers are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win this fantastic prize!
I really love the orange card with the cute little girl with a bouquet of flowers the best. They are all great! Thanks for the opportunity!

Hey Shanna, how could someone possibly pick one favorite, they are all so good and you are so talented, I miss having you as my neighbor so I could see all your projects. You were my most talented neighbor I ever had. Glad to hear you were back.

I guess, if I have to choose just one of your lovely projects, I will pick "Aloha" as my favorite.

Hello! What great ideas!! It's difficult to pick a favorite from so many, however, my top 3 are: Families Are Forever tray, Season's Greetings, and the 3-D flower arrangement with the butterfly. It's really fun to see the wide variety of projects you made. Thanks for sharing. Janelle H - scrappinjan at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteHow can I pick just one project, they are all so great! I think my favorite may be the "summer fun saving" jar as I think it is a great idea and a super fun looking jar!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great giveaway you are just super talented!
OHHH, MYYYYY, WORRRRRRD!!! You've got to be kidding me! PICK ONE? With a possibility to win all that fantastic STUFF!!!!? {{faint}} ... be still my heart ... Wow. Alright then ... I'll pick one but am in LOVE with many.
ReplyDeleteThe one that jumped out at me as crazy-adorable and so much reminiscent of your fun, breezy and colorful, creative style is the card with the Copic-colored (??) sweetheart of a girl, holding the bouquet, on the orange and lime backgrounds, with the matching 3D flowers on it. I'd LOVE to have that card in my mailbox, on my wall, just SUPER-fun and adorable. It speaks Shanna to me! ♥ So thank you for sharing such a wonderful lot of projects at one time to make me swoon on this dreary Monday.
I love you, your talent, and your generosity.
Fondly,
Ellen

ReplyDeleteHolly
Wow, it was hard to pick one. If I have to it would be Two Peas in a Pod. I love the colors and using green poka-dots for the "Peas" paper is so cute. Not to mention the die cutting! I will have to remember that idea!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful project!! I think my favorite is the Thank You card - it's just sweet and vintage-y and summery :)
ReplyDeleteVery hard to pick a favorite but I love the Thank You card. Thanks for offering such a great prize. Betty @ prittb@yahoo.com

Hey Girlie! I just wanted to tell you that I love them all! I always love seeing your creations! I hit your galleries first for inspiration whenever I'm needing to create. No joke! I rely on you A LOT!!! I didn't want to be included in the contest... just wanted to send you a comment "high five". :) Love your work, Shanna!
ReplyDeleteHow fun it is to see so many of your creative projects at one time. I can not possibly pick a favorite, so I will just say I love, love, love the Dr. Suess Tag because it is layered, colorful, and filled with wisdom. Thank you for the chance to win this amazing package of Spellbinder Dies. It's very generous.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the pink thank you card at the very bottom. I like all of your projects but that is my very favorite :) Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous prize of spellbinders!!
ReplyDeleteHard to choose but love the Trick or Treat layout - very cute & colorful. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteIn all sincerity, I think all your projects look great! I love the card with the anchor best though because I love the ocean/beach and I like that decorative oval you used, too.
ReplyDeleteAll the projects look great but if I had to choose one, it would be the 1st one, the family shadow box. Simply goregous!
ReplyDeleteI am just discovering the wonderful world of Spellbinders (just bought my first two sets) and am having a great time using them on everything!
I love the 3d flowers, but all the projects are great!!
ReplyDeleteAll of your work is amazing, but I'm really loving that Two Peas card. I have that set and never would have thought to make a pea pod with it. Absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteThey're all very beautiful. My favorite is Princess of the pool, because of the colors. Love pink. Great layout. Thanks for the chance, Johanne L.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the flowers with the butterfly ... beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really love the Sweet 13 layout! You can use the dies in so many different ways. Thanks for the share and the contest!
ReplyDeleteI like the (last)Thank you card. I think the fold and tuck dies are cool. Thanks for the chance to win such a great giveaway. KimB ksmile1234atyahoodotcom
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore the Summer Fun Savings Jar...toooo cute!
ReplyDeleteIts hard to pick just one, but I really like the little girl holding the flowers (with the orange and green background). Looks so nice and cheerful! Deb S.
ReplyDeleteThey are all so lovely how can I pick a fav. I do love the sweet 13 layout, just so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but if I had to single something out, I'd say that the layout titled "Son" would be my favorite! It's such an inspiring masculine layout, and you used the nesties in such a cool way that I would not have thought of (under each letter). Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI am only choosing a favorite because you're making me ... love the "13" LO .. the use of the dies as journaling spots and accents is awesome ... I am totally stealing this idea. Thanks for the chance to win goodies ... you do very nice work
ReplyDeleteI love all of the ones with the flowers, and I love the doilies on the '13' LO, but if I have to select a fav, I guess the little girl holding the flowers. Besides loving the flowers, it's so bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteWow! All of your projects are beautiful so it is hard to choose just one...I really like the "Congrats, two peas in a pod" one tho...it is absolutely adorable. Thank you so much for the chance to win this generous give-away. :)
ReplyDeleteWell they are lovely from start to finish, but my favorite is the bookmark with the Dr. Seuss quote. I just love that little bird and the word across the top. :)
ReplyDeleteOMGravy...are you SERIOUSLY gonna make me choose just ONE?!?! Are you aware just how hard of a task this is, Mam?!?!
ReplyDeleteWell, since I need to just list ONE...Im gonna do a 'eeny meeny, miney mo' sorta thing here and say the frame with the fun little flowers/flower pot in the center...SUPER-D-DUPER CUTE!!!
They are so beautiful!!! Choosing one is like asking me to only eat one peice of chocolate or one chip!!! I'm going to choose the summer savings jar! It reminds me of my youngest who loves saving her money. I'm going to try making saving jars with my kiddos they will love them(:
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your gorgeous creations
Wow your incredibly talented and I love all of your work. I have 2 favorites, the birthday one and the son one. I have an 11 week old and I am always looking for new layouts for pictures of children. I can't wait to go through the rest of your blog to see what other amazing work you have. :)
ReplyDeleteWOW, what a hard thing to do, pick 1! I would have to say the Birthday Girl LO and the READ bookmark really caught my eye, altho I DO love the paper flowers, no watering and they wont ever die!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win, I havent started my obsession/collection with Nesties yet, but this just may do it! LOL!!

ReplyDeletegreat projects - my fav is the "READ" tag/bookmark - thanks for the chance to win
ReplyDeleteAll are awesome projects but if I have to choose, I'd say the "fun savings" jar and the "two peas" card. It looks like something that I would enjoy doing with my 4 year old...Thanks for the opportunity!!
ReplyDeleteGIGIGI30 from Scrapbook.com
Love that two peas in a pod card. So very clever...
ReplyDelete(traceyjean at gmail dot com)
Love your creativity, you are truly blessed! The peas in a pod card is genius, I love the way your brain works! How can you not love them all? Seriously!
ReplyDeleteI love the Read tag. I love the quote and the elements you used for it. I also love the notepad. The colours really caught my eye and its a practical project. You have some lovely projects on your blog. I'll be visiting again. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite (this was hard) is the green Congrats card...love that one. The 'Son' layout is next in line. Thanks for this giveway..wowzer.

I love all of them, but my favorite is the Sweet 13 layout. I love the look of the doily cutouts. My Grandma used to make doilies and I have always had a love for them. Thanks for the opportunity to win!!
ReplyDeleteI love your projects, the two peas in a pod is so cute. You did a great job on all those projects. Spellbinders is my favorite tool and I use them all the time.
ReplyDeletecswagner@sympatico.ca
Pam W. (pwiswell@roadrunner.com) I love the Dr. Seuss tag. As a teacher, I am all about Dr. Seuss. Great job and thanks for doing this.
ReplyDeleteBecause of My 3 Sons...my fave is the "Son" layout and second is the blue dot w/mini pics LO...that one is very sweet. I tried out for the Spellbinders DT for this yr, but my dies are so limited, there just wasn't enough to wow them. Maybe next yr? Thx
ReplyDeletecraft-tastrophe
I absolutly adore the Family frame. Thank you for the chance to win this great prize.
ReplyDeleteJust ONE favorite? Ok, then... I LOVE the "read" bookmark! :). I'd be over the moon if I won these dies (used or not!). Lol. Thanks for the chance to win! :)
ReplyDeleteI love several but the tray is so cute and I love the simplicity.
ReplyDeleteThere were so many amazing projects that it really is hard to pick just one! I think the sweet 13 was great and such an inspiration!! thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so lovely but the one that REALLY stuck out for me was the fifth one, Summer Fun Savings jar. It brings home to me that I need to start a jar just like that. It's been 16 years since my hubby and I have been able to take a trip away with each other without the kids. I think a pretty creative jar just might be the way to start getting focussed on saving for a weekend away somewhere. Thanks for such an awesome giveaway~

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
They are all great, but I especially love the 4th of July t-shirts!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite project is the two peas in a pod card. Using the die shapes to form the pea pod is genuis. I love getting inspiration from projects made by thinking outside of the box. So cute!
ReplyDeleteAll of the projects are awesome! I cannot choose just one! Truly inspiring! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI really love your season's greetings card but all your projects are beautiful... Thank you for being so generous.
