Giveaway: Christmas Paper Packs

A fun little giveaway for the Holiday Season :) (And my first time ever using a Rafflecopter for a giveaway - yay :)). I'm giving away two Christmas Paper Packs! These cute little packs are a delightful mixture of Holiday papers and bits & pieces. Each pack is chocked full of papers such as: new scrapbooking Christmas papers from top brands (Studio Calico, October Afternoon, Bazzill, Basic Grey, etc), vintage papers from hymnals, salvaged holiday storybooks, envelopes, doilies, tags, and much more.

These packs are perfect for adding fun details to your Holiday Album or Journal, or to Project Life. Or create some handmade Christmas cards to send to a loved one! 

Each pack is packaged in a 6.5"x9" clear cello bag and contains 30+ pieces and some sequins sprinkled in for good measure :) 

Can't wait to get one? Find them here in my shop. ***I will be closing my shop for the holidays on Tuesday, December 10 and will reopen after New Years :)

It is chocked full of new papers like scrapbooking papers, calendar and notes pages, graph paper, as well as vintage papers including maps, advertisements, sheet music, flash cards, playing cards, papers from ledgers, school books, books and children's books.

Daisy Decals: a review and giveaway

Several weeks ago, Kati of Daisy Decals contacted me about reviewing one of their super cute decals and hosting a giveaway for some of them. They have an etsy shop full of retro and vintage-inspired decals - from vintage typewriters to the old-school Nintendo controllers to Polaroid cameras. The decals are shown on computer devices (laptop, ipad, etc) but can be put anywhere - windows, mirrors, notebooks. I was excited to try one out :)

I picked this vintage camera (My parents had one similar to this while we were growing up. I love it :)). It arrived quickly in the mail in a lovely little glassine bag with very clear instructions. 

Having never worked with decals before, I was delighted at how incredibly easy it was to peel the backing and apply it to my laptop.

The clear plastic part peeled off easily and voila! A fun vintage-inspired camera decal for my laptop. I thought the whole vintage and camera thing was fitting for my love of vintage and documenting life thru a camera :)

So, would I recommend these Daisy Decals? Absolutely. I thought of several pros and one con:

Pros: An overall great-feeling high-quality product - the decal is super sturdy and not at all cheap feeling. Fast shipping, nice packaging (I always love to look at packaging), clear instructions, great customer service (emails, asking questions).

Cons: There were no instructions on how to remove the decal. I emailed Kati and she quickly replied with instructions on how to remove (use a hairdryer to warm up the vinyl and peel off!). I have NOT tried to remove the decal at this point and do not plan to for quite some time, so I cannot accurately review that process. I personally have little to no reservations about it coming off well.

* I received this product for free for review. My opinions are completely my own thoughts. I reviewed it honestly with both pros and cons listed.

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

GIVEAWAY :)

Kati has graciously offered to give away a decal of winner's choice from their shop to two readers. Yay! :)

To enter: Go look around the shop, Daisy Decals, and leave a comment about which decal(s) you like best. Be sure to leave your email address in the comment so I can contact you if you win. One decal per winner. International entries are welcome.
