Giveaways

We love giving away prizes on our blog! Knowing these prizes will have a new home is almost as fun as getting to know you better in the process. We’ll always tell you within a blog post when new winners are listed, but feel free to check here at any time for a list of current winners. The winning names will stay on this page for two weeks from the date they were announced, at which time any unclaimed prizes will be put back in our prize vault to be used at another time. All non-Creating-Keepsakes prizes were donated by manufacturers, and we appreciate their generosity.

If your name is chosen, please e-mail us at ckblog@creatingkeepsakes.com with “Blog Winner” in the subject line. The message should include your full name and mailing address, as well as the title and date of the winning blog post. Thanks!

Note: Unless otherwise indicated, our winners are always selected at random. Also, we apologize that we are no longer able to ship prizes outside of the U.S. If you are an international commenter, instead of winning the prize that’s being offered, you’ll receive a one-year subscription to Creating Keepsakes magazine. Guest blog prizes will be sent directly from the guest blogger’s company, and they may use their own discretion in regards to international prize fulfillment.

Winners posted 5/24/2010

Laura — 05/19/2010: I love both flowers and butterflies and find it hard to make a card without one or the other. (But I’m currently making Father’s Day cards, so having to forgo both for the moment!) All the collections you showed are lovely — I Do is my favorite.

Belinda Langner — 05/19/2010: I’m loving all the rainbows and banners that I’ve seen in a lot of spring collections (like Dear Lizzy). Swoon! Pinwheels are lots of fun too!

Kristen — 05/19/2010: I’m still in love with the banners/pennants…being a boy mama they go better on my pages than flowers usually. But the butterflies I’m seeing everywhere are really catching my eye and I might have to bust out.

Tina Phillips — 05/20/2010: I am loving COLOR!!! Anything bold and bright….and the trends I am loving right now are clouds, birds, and the banners!

Kim M — 05/19/2010: I love those collections. Having girls I am a big fan of anything pink, especially when florals are involved!

3. Carol M: All of these articles made me smile. I especially enjoyed the flower-making as that’s so fun to do. It’s great to learn new techniques that can make my pages/cards more beautiful/interesting!
