Giveaway: Win entry to the Pretty Paper Party at shimelle.com

Hello you.

It's no secret that I like paper. In fact it's the exact opposite of a secret. There's not a day goes by when, in some form or another, I don't work with it, shuffle it, admire it or desperately look around for places to keep it!

And now I get to attend a party held in its honour ... and so can you ...

You know Shimelle ... right? Well after finishing teaching her Learn Something New Everday class [the one which I made my recent journal for] she's throwing a four-week online party... a Pretty Paper Party to be exact!

Here's what the hostess has to say about her new party/class:

 

"This is the party to attend if you:

• have a collection of paper stacked up for a rainy day;
• if you have more scraps of paper than you know what to do with (but you know you don't want to throw them away!) and;
• if you've ever put a piece of paper back in your stash because it was just too special for the photos at hand.

Through printable prompts and tutorial videos, me and dozens of special party guests will share beautiful and innovative techniques you can achieve with the paper you have already collected."

And you needn't worry that you won't know anybody there, because at the very least ... you know me.

I'm going to be appearing at the party as one of Shimelle's guests and, as I don't have any other party-tricks,  I've created a  scrapbook page especially for the occasion.

While I can't show you the page here ... I can show you the supplies I used to create it. If you know my work pretty well, you might be able to guess what some of them will be before you even take a look!:

Did you guess anything? Lots and lots of patterns [including animal print!], paint, postage stamps and old book pages. Yes, I'm nothing if not predictable!

[p.s: I'll be offering packs of reclaimed book pages, as seen in the photo, from my etsy shop very soon!]

So, now you know there's going to be at least one familiar face at the party all you need do now is sign-up .. or enter my giveaway for a free pass!

------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO ENTER:

• Leave me a comment on this post making it clear you'd like to win!
• That's it!

OR

If you'd like your name entered into the draw TWICE then also tell me:

• which crafting supply you think would make a good party outfit or accessory;
• For example: is there a particular patterned paper you'd like a dress made from? Or a kind of embellishment you could dangle from your ears?!

Edited to add: I'll announce the winner ASAP after the closing date however - please bear in mind that I'll need to be able to contact you if you win. So, if you need to leave an Anonymous comment that's OK, but please direct me to a blog/Twitter account or something so I know who you are and can let you know you've won!

DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES:

• 08:00 [UK time] Thursday 20th October 2011

NOTE:

•  If you have already signed up to the Pretty Paper Party you can still enter!!
• If you win, Shimelle will either refund your sign-up fee OR donate the pass to a friend of your choice.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The class itself began this morning but hey ... as with any good party, it's okay to arrive fashionably late.  Also:

• The class has no deadlines;
• Everyone receives permanent access to all the class materials;
• So anyone can RSVP to the party at any time.

Good luck! And if this class isn't for you ... please consider passing the details of the giveaway on to a friend.

I'm going to go and get my party frock on ...

Julie :-)
