Work of Heart Photography Giveaway

Skye Hardaway from The Work of Heart Photography is having a huge giveaway. Skye is a Professional photographer who specializes in child photography. She shares all her photography tips and secrets through workshops and her workshop workbook.

Now I actually purchased the 'Workshop Workbook' about 8 months ago (on sale of course) Love the posing guide. As a wannabe photographer i love that she lets you in on what she carries in her oh-so-funky camera bag and most of the photos let on her blog and facebook page tell you what lens and actions she used. I think to myself "Now wait on a minute, I have that lens so why can't i do that" so then i go off with my camera in hand and practice for what i know is an attainable shot.

The workbook is great too. Sky shows you her methods for post processing her pics. There are also forms and docs to use if you are getting into professional photography. She covers everything you would need to know as a pro photographer. A guide like this would seriously save your life, well, it will save you a heap of time at the very least.

So go and check out the workbook for yourself (it's on sale) or try to win a freebie like I am by entering into the Work of Heart giveaway. Yes, yes, I know I already have the workbook but I really want a chance to pick up all the other freebies on offer as well as the update version of the posing guide.

Winner of the scrapook perpetual calendar

After lots of calculating, scribbling, and cutting we have come up with a winner for the alterable perpetual calendar. In the end I numbered the slips 1 through 50 then added 4 more slips for each of those who shared the love and took out those that didn't belong (my comments etc)
Akw graciously consented to take time out from the Disney channel to pick a random winner out of the hat (or bowl in this case) If she had things her way we'd have twenty winners by now since apparently picking winners out of a bowl is way cool fun...
Anywho... Drum roll...
#21, does anyone have number 21

I love this little calendar! How much fun would that be to create?!

Congratulation Jingle! Send us an email and Wayne from the Woodshed will send you out your wooden perpetual calendar ready for you to alter.

Thanks to everyone for playing along with us. If you missed out on winning but would like to own one of these calendars then get along to Waynes Woodshed. He is selling the cheapest wooden calendars on Etsy... I know, I checked it out, actually I received my calendar from wayne about a week ago... can you belive it is still waiting for me to show it some love... soon I promise...

make or WIN a perpetual calendar

You are all probably thinking that we are well into the new year and that the time for giving out calendars as gifts has long passed no matter how cool they may look.
Not so, I say. I have recently discovered perpetual calendars... the type that never end, or at least the type you don't have to throw out (or recycle) at the end of the year. For those of you who have no idea what they are or how they tick they simply are a set of months and dates that you change daily to reflect the date. If you take a look at the pic below you will see how they work with this perpetual block calendar set made by Wayne. It has been crafted from wood and then decorated.

Wayne makes these cool little wooden sets (amongst a million other things) that he sells from his Etsy store. But he is all for sharing the love and so he has ever so graciously written us this perpetual calendar tutorial which you can find at scrapbook-crazy.com. Covered in scrapbook papers these little beauties look great. You can totally coordinate them to match the decor in your home or office. I have one in the post on it's way to me right now, so i will show you it when it is all spruced up.

So who wants to win one of these naked calendar kits?
Do you want to cover this little calendar in pretty scrapbook papers for your desk, or home. Wayne is giving away a perpetual calendar kit to one lucky reader. All you will need to do to enter is to leave a comment on this post before 18 Feb. If you want to be entered five times then link to this scrapbook calendar give-away post from a post on your blog or other scrappy site (just tell me you if you are due 5 entries in the comments and leave a link to the post )

My dd will be picking a winner out of a hat when all the entries are in.

Truly Trendy scrapbooking competition

loving all the mini album stuff out there lately.... haven't scrapped in a little while but i came across a post for a competition over at scrapscene.... I don't usually do the scrapbook competitions (when i say 'don't usually' i really mean 'have never') I think id like to give it a go. The trouble is when i have to do something scrapbooky within a certain time frame it usually never happens. i scrap what i feel like and when i feel like it and i reckon when i try too hard to make it happen it all goes to hell. hmmm.... see how we go...
The terms of this comp a pretty loose.

Basically:
- anyone, anywhere can enter
- max of three entries per scrapper
- your entries can be layouts, minis, altered whatevers...
- your entry needs to reflect some of the current trends (according to SS i guess)
- great prizes up for grabs
- Deadline is Wednesday, April 30th, 2008 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
Check out the finer details at Scrapscene for their "Truly Trendy" scrapbook contest

Might get started now....

A mini competition

It is past midnight and here i am banging away at my keyboard....sigh.... go to bed already. I had to squeeze in this post or else i'll forget, so here goes.
Kathie over at Scraphappy Kat is running a competition for a sweet 8x8 mini album and some embellishments. All you need to do to enter is to create an 8x8 layout, take a pic and send it over to her. Sounds too easy, I gotta enter... surely i can come up with an 8x8.... For more details check out Scrappy Kat.

I have received a stack of mini album entries for last months mini album competition...excellent. If memory serves me right there is still time to enter. the comp finishes on the 15th of Jan...i think. so get your entries in quick.

Chuckles that last hours
Laughs that last days
Smiles that last weeks
Happiness that last months
Friendships that last years
But most of all...
LOVE that lasts a lifetime!
