This weekend, one commenter will win a Wooden heart pendant from Love Cat Creations. You get to choose which design you would most like to win, the floral or the geometric design.
Stephanie from Love Cat Creations has been creating beautiful and unique wooden jewellery for the past year. She explains, “I have always had a creative side. I am inspired by everything! From nature, vintage imagery, bold bright colours, pattern, texture and interesting forms. I’m always looking to create new and exciting pieces of jewellery.” You can see more of Stephanie’s work in her shop or you can like her facebook page to stay updated with her gorgeous work.
To enter, just leave a comment on this post with your favourite of the two designs, the geometric or the floral heart.
Entries close at midnight Sunday UK time and the winner will be posted Monday evening, so be sure to check back to see if it’s your lucky day!
Good luck!

This weekend, one commenter will win a Tealight Lantern from Cat’s Ceramics.
Cat’s Ceramics is a beautiful shop full of hand crafted items in clay, ranging from jewellery to little ceramic snails, all finished with complementing glazes.
Cat started working with clay purely by chance when an American clay sculptor asked Cat to be her apprentice. “She trained me up and taught me the techniques, and I helped in the studio with her sculptures. It was one of the luckiest of adventures, not only for the experience, but there and then I found out what I was meant to do.” You can read more about Cat and her Ceramics on her blog.
To enter, just leave a comment on this post describing to us where you would put this beautiful lantern.

Although the scrapbooking challenges from this past weekend are still open until Sunday, there were a few prizes to be won just by leaving a comment and one extra-special prize for someone who really made the most of the weekend. A drumroll please – here are those winners!
Ali is the winner of the Proud to Scrapbook giveaway.
Inga is the winner of the Saturday wake-up call giveaway.
Wendy is the winner of the Sunday wake-up call giveaway.
Congratulations to each of you! I’ll send you an email with the details needed so I can send you your prizes.
And then there’s that other prize… a $100 shopping spree to Two Peas in a Bucket to spend on whatever scrapbooking supplies you might like. It was so difficult to choose. I’ve loved looking at all the layouts posted and reading your comments and seeing so many fabulous mentions of being proud to scrapbook on message boards, Twitter and Facebook. After much deliberation, I think this lady deserves a big round of applause. Sabine has posted pages for eleven challenges so far and joined in the discussion on pretty much every post and just been so enthusiastic and positive all weekend! I’m so happy to send you $100 to take shopping, Sabine! I hope you find something lovely!
The scrapbooking challenges don’t close until Sunday so you still have time to enter and there is a new challenge (with a video tutorial!) each day this week, so there is even more to keep you creating. There are prize packs to win from all those fabulous companies who have helped with this weekend: Jenni Bowlin Studio, American Crafts, BasicGrey, Pink Paislee, Studio Calico, Pebbles, Lily Bee Design, CosmoCricket, Simple Stories, Little Musings and Two Peas in a Bucket. I couldn’t make everything so shiny and fun without them. And I really couldn’t do this without all of you. Thank you so much for being proud to scrapbook and happy to create things by hand! You make this the most awesome job in the world, I do believe.

Good morning! There’s a challenge coming right up to start the Saturday cropping, but first of all, a new giveaway! I have a big box of scrapping stash to send to one lucky commenter.
TO ENTER leave a comment on this post saying one thing you want to scrapbook today! Easy, right? But this is a Saturday only giveaway and it ends tonight (13th August 2011) at midnight UK time. The winner will be posted on Monday!
And don’t forget… participate all weekend long, share your work and comment for the chance to win a $100 shopping spree at Two Peas in a Bucket OR use code SHIPSL for free US shipping on a $35 order (non-digital, non-phase out product) this weekend only!

Welcome to three days of scrapbooking fun here at shimelle.com. I’m so glad you can join in! Throughout today, Saturday and Sunday, you’ll find regular posts here with challenges, giveaways, mini-lessons, special guests, free downloads and all sorts of things to keep you scrapbooking.
Two very important things to know from the beginning:
…you never have to do something just as it’s shown. Please use your own stash, embrace your own style and feel free to make any changes you like. Just because I love layers and butterflies and kraft cardstock doesn’t mean you have to. And you definitely have my permission to use all the older papers and stickers in your collection that need to find a home on some layouts rather than continue to age in your stash, so don’t feel any pressure to use the latest and greatest if you want to focus on using your older supplies.
…the vast majority of the challenges have a full week until the deadline, so you can enjoy scrapping rather than racing from one project to the next. Work at the pace that you enjoy and complete the challenges that speak to you!
And one other thing: on top of all the specific giveaways and challenge prizes this weekend, one person will win a $100 gift certificate to Two Peas in a Bucket. It can be spent on anything in the Two Peas store, and that’s a lot of stuff, plus there are new CHA releases arriving there daily right now, so it’s an extra good time to have a shopping spree! The $100 gift certificate will be awarded on Monday (15th August) to someone who really gets involved and shares the spirit of scrapbooking throughout the three days. It’s not a layout contest, there’s not anything in particular you need to do. In the past, every crop has had its own personal cheerleader in the form of someone who shared their love of scrapbooking and had fun with each challenge, and I think it would be pretty cool to share a little bit of scrappy happiness with someone like that this weekend. So that’s the deal on the $100 prize!
And now… a giveaway to get things started! I have a prize pack here with all sorts of things in it – papers, stamps, a minibook, stickers, brads – and it will go to one person who comments on this post. To enter, leave a comment on this post saying why you are proud to be a scrapbooker. Your name can go in the hat an extra time if you share the link via Facebook or Twitter, so if you do that please say so in your comment or leave a second comment if you prefer. Entries close midnight Sunday (14th August 2011), UK time. The winner will be posted on Monday.
By the way, if you are proud to be a scrapbooker and want to share that in your blog sidebar or message board signature, do feel free to grab this. It has been popping up in signatures over at Two Peas and I love it so. I’m definitely on a quest to make it something we’re never shy to say! (It only took me a gazillion years to figure this out!)
Once you’ve entered the giveaway, there’s a sketch if you want to get started right now, or come back throughout the day for more challenges and fun!
