stamptember - big copic discount & giveaway

Because I am bursting at the seams here's a sneak peek before I say hi!
Hello Friends! How was your weekend?? I am so happy that you are here today and thanks for taking the time out of your day to visit me. Today is a day that I have been looking forward to for months and I am so stoked and honored to be Simon Says Stamp's  STAMPtember™  Special Guest today!! 

The word about STAMPtember™ has been out for ten days so I have a feeling you already know about it. It's a pretty cool month that Simon Say's brings to it's readers and my head swims what it must take to have a month long event with so much amazing content, prizes, discounts etc. just to celebrate STAMPING!! Simon Say's Stamps STAMPtember™ intentions are to" inspire, educate, and celebrate rubber stamping! What's not to love about that! The best part about Simon Say's is HEIDI ! Heidi is always full of joy, enthusiasm and has such a zest for life that I so admire. If you guessed it you are right...she brings all of that to stamping. Love you Heidi :) 

I HAVE TWO MORE EXCITING THINGS TO SHARE ..... just FOR YOU!!
 A coupon code for 25% off all Copics at the SSS store!!!
AND a Giveaway!!
That means all Copic brand products are on sale 25% off now until 9/14/12. Just enter code KRCP25 when you check out at the Simon Says Stamp Store here

When you hop over to the Simon Say's Stamp blog here. You will see a cool way to use your mini misters and FOUR cards that I created with a fun technique :) These are the colors I used in my projects. 

NOW FOR MY GIVEAWAY 
(thanks to Hero Arts & Penny Black for their donations) 
What do you need to do to win the stamps and spellbinder die below?  
(A TOTAL VALUE of  $70.00 )

Amazingly effective with the Mini Mister application highlighted by using the same colour marker next to the image. Love the idea of the wobbly head too. Your sentiment with that toaster is priceless!

Kathy, I'm a follower but don't have a blog, facebook page or twitter account to sing your praises on. I know I'm the only one on Earth to truthfully say what I just said.(chuckle). I told SSS that my fav was the "Hello" card but I liked the "Let it Snow" second best. The technique was very effective.Your artistry amazes me, Girl. Thanks for the tremendous prize pack.
