Let the Celebration Begin - 6th Blogoversary!

A little over six years ago I started this blog as a way to share the designs I created in the (then new) Cricut Design Studio software.  Many different machines and software programs and lots of other topics have gradually found their way to these pages, but I still enjoy sharing my projects and helping other people learn how to get the most out of their crafting tools.  Thank you to everyone who reads my blog - whether you have been with me from the early days or just found this blog today.  I hope you find lots of inspiration and help here!

 It's time to start the blogoversary party!

As in the past, I have three boxes that I will be filling with gifts and I will send one of the boxes to three lucky blog readers.  During February, there will be at least seven days when I will add things to the boxes until they are full and ready to ship.  Starting with this post, you can comment on every post until the boxes are full to maximize your chance to be chosen by random draw.

This year I am starting off the boxes with a pack of 12 x 12 Core Couture cardstock by Core'dinations.  I will be photographing things in the large square boxes but actually shipping everything in the medium box because the paper pack has the extra hanging tab area and won't fit neatly in the square box.

I  have used this cardstock for years.  It is very sparkly and adds a lot to any project.  The glitter is embedded in the cardstock and does not come off when you cut it or brush it with your fingers.

  

These packs contain 20 sheets of Core Couture in 20 colors.  I did not want to open the nice new packs that I bought for the prize boxes so I can't tell you the names of all 20 colors inside but I am sure you will love them!

Here is one example of a project I made using this cardstock.  Click on the image or HERE to see the original post.

Here is one more example of this sparkly cardstock in action - you can find the post about this design HERE.

So - how can you win one of the three boxes?

There are three ways to enter...

First entry:

I am starting a new email newsletter.  This will be where I share free designs and files and other special items of interest with my readers.  One of the winners will be drawn from the list of my newsletter subscribers.

To sign up please complete the form at the top right of this page and click submit.  You will receive an email asking you to verify that you signed up - once you do that, you will be on my email list for the newsletter.  This list is different than the feedburner subscription which sends new posts to your email account nearly every day.  If you still want to receive daily emails, please don't cancel that subscription. 

Second Entry:

I have a Facebook Page for Capadia Designs that has been pretty quiet but I am planning to start posting more on that page and I'd like to see more people participating there.  If you are a Facebook user you can "like" the Capadia Designs page HERE and then leave a comment here on the blog telling me that you are a Facebook fan.  Comments on the Facebook page are great to read but the winners will be drawn from the comments left here on the blog.

Third Entry:

Just leave a comment on this blog post or any blog post between now and the day the boxes are filled and that will give you a chance, even if you don't subscribe to the new newsletter (but I hope you will) or "like" the Facebook page.

You can leave comments every day so you will have multiple chances to be one of the three winners.  Please don't leave more than 2 on one day (1 regular comment, 1 to say you are a Facebook fan - I will have the newsletter list so you don't need to leave a comment to tell me that you have subscribed).

When you leave a comment be sure that you don't have the box checked to be notified of follow up comments so you don't get tons of emails clogging up your in box.  Please be sure to leave some way for me to contact you if you are one of the lucky winners - you can leave your email address and use (at) and (dot) to help avoid spam.

Sounds pretty easy, right?

There is one catch - you can't just leave a random comment - you have to answer the question in the post (so I know you are paying attention!).

The first question is... 

There is a new Cricut machine, the Explore, that will be debuting on HSN on February 12th.  What have you seen or heard about this machine and are you interested in adding it to your crafting tools?  Why or why not?

Thanks for your support over the past six years - good luck!
