Giveaway #13: Hippos and Dinosaurs – CLOSED

August 4, 2010 By Char @ Crap I've Made 154 Comments

There are a whole lot of camera strap covers out there, but any cover that uses Anna Maria Horner’s beautiful fabric takes the bait.

The strap should fit any standard digital SLR (like my Canon Rebel XT). Dimensions are about 21″ x 2″.

Made by Katie of Hippos and Dinosaurs

Giveaway #12: Mini Quilt and Book – CLOSED

August 4, 2010 By Char @ Crap I've Made 129 Comments

How many dots do you think are above? Go on…guess!

If you said 10 thousand you would be absolutely right! {I might also need to borrow your freakish talents for a little gambling at the casino later on…}

Now, take the picture above, and imagine ONE HUNDRED of them. Now imagine those dots are people and you have ONE MILLION PEOPLE – the number of visitors to Char’s amazing blog! Isn’t that simply mind blowing?!

Ok, ok, enough exhibition of my number fetishes. My name is Kelly and I LOVE to make stuff! Hence the name of my blog:

At the moment on my blog we are just finishing up our {Make} A Bag Sew Along. Next I plan to delve into the wonderful world of mini quilts! I am really excited to start exploring all the different blocks, colors and layouts of the quilting world in its smallest form. In helping Char celebrate her 1,000,000 visitors I thought I would have a giveaway with a mini quilt theme!

I have TWO prizes up for grabs for TWO lucky winners!

The first prize is the book ‘Whip Up Mini Quilts’ by the very talented Kathreen Ricketson of Whip Up. This book has the patterns and how-tos for more than 20 contemporary small quilts. It is quite fabulous! You can read more about it {here}.

The second prize is a mini quilt I made, featuring a screen-printed panel of ‘Anne-Sophie’ by the wonderful Rebecca of Blinking Flights. The quilt is about the size of a fat quarter.

Here is a close-up of the panel:

She’s sweet, huh?

Would you like to win one of these two prizes? I’ve made entering very simple, albeit a little cheeky. Ok, so maybe I am piggybacking a little off Char’s success here, but I think she’s strong as an ox and she won’t even waver…

TO ENTER:

Please visit my blog and become a follower, and then scoot back here and leave a comment saying that you’re now following me. You can also tell me anything else you would like to say, I LOVE reading comments almost as much as I love chocolate with almonds!

This giveaway is open to EVERYONE INTERNATIONALLY!!! Hooray!!!

I’m assuming Char’s got all the giveaway details like closing dates and drawing dates covered. She’s clever like that.

Good luck!

Woohoo, it’s giveaway time! Isn’t Char awesome! I’m super stoked to have an opportunity to post on one of my favorite blogs of all time:) I’m Staci from Just Sew Sassy. I’m a busy married lady with three crazy adorable kiddos five and under. Crafty things make me happy and keep me sane. I’m still pretty new to the whole craft blogging concept, but I’m sooo hooked. I’m so happy to be hanging out with all you super cool Crap I’ve Made followers today:)

So normally my projects include fabric, thread, a sewing machine, batting… You get the picture. But lately I’ve been stepping out of my comfort zone to try other fun crafty projects. I just discovered that I’m completely addicted to chiffon ruffled flowers. And I think they look amazing attached to a headband.

So that’s what I’m giving away today! You’re choice of a chiffon ruffled flower headband.

Buttermilk
Charcoal
Ruby
or Blush

I would LOVE for you to come stop by my blog for some more fun tutorials and recipes. Or do a little shopping in my Etsy shop!!

Giveaway #6: Funky PolkaDot Giraffe – CLOSED

August 3, 2010 By Char @ Crap I've Made 260 Comments

Hi! I’m Kyla and I’m a former 2nd grade teacher turned SAHM that is the creative lunatic behind Funky PolkaDot Giraffe. When I started Funky PolkaDot Giraffe over 2 years ago I was making burp cloths and diaper/wipe caddies. I only had a little boy and didn’t have much need for bows or clips. I chose the name Funky PolkaDot Giraffe because my son ADORES giraffes and I love polka dots and we’re a little funky, so it fit us perfectly.

When I found out in June of 2008 that I was having a girl my wheels started turning and I started making bows. I started with korkers and it has evolved from there. I owe most everything I know about bow making to my friend Ashby - she’s a great teacher and tutorial writer.

From there is has snowballed and I started making headbands, princess clips, seasonal ribbon art creations (like my Turkey, Snowman, and Chocolate Bunny), car seat canopies and camera strap covers. It’s been a fun and exciting journey into the creative – there are so many things I want to make, but only so many hours in the day!

I’m so excited to be here on Crap I’ve Made and help celebrate her 1,000,000 hit! So, to help celebrate such a momentous occasion, I’m giving away a $15 gift certificate to my shop!

Here’s how to enter!

Mandatory Entry:

Visit Funky PolkaDot Giraffe, then come back here and leave a comment on this post along with your email address (so I can contact you if you win), telling me what your favorite item is from the shop.

Giveaway #5: Original Watercolor Painting – CLOSED

August 2, 2010 By Char @ Crap I've Made 54 Comments

Hello everyone! I am Natalie, a painter/wedding invitation designer and I am so excited to offer all of you a chance to win one of my original framed watercolor paintings. I received a painting degree from Brigham Young University and I love painting about my family and my cute 1-year-old baby boy. I am especially fond of this painting that I am giving away, titled “Waking Baby up from a Nap.”

This painting was inspired by the daily routine of taking care of my family, and the little things that I do everyday that are special to me and make all the difference. The unique geometric design was inspired by the floor plan of my baby’s nursery room.

This painting is watercolor on Arches watercolor paper. This piece has been framed in a completely 100% archival quality. The frame is white painted birch wood, and the mat is 100% cotton museum board. This painting was hung in my solo exhibition this last April-May that was themed “Hearth and Home” — all paintings inspired by my home and family.

There is a scratch on the glass in the upper right hand corner, and even with that discounted, this painting is worth $125. The finished size is 16″x17″.

I am so excited to give this special painting away. You can all buy my paintings on my etsy shop, and follow my painting journey and win more of my art on my art blog. I’d love for you to stop by and say hi!

Click on over to Natalie’s Etsy shop. Come back and leave a comment ON THIS POST with which of her paintings is your favorite!
