First, let me congratulate Brenda B. and Iisha, the two lucky ladies who won our most recent giveaway and will each be receiving a 2-piece set of non-stick scissors. We love these scissors and we’re sure you will, too!
Now I’d like to announce our next giveaway. Jo and I are always joking about how we use so much white cardstock in our projects, because we’re always printing out tags, cards, and such. That also means we use our printers a lot, and we’ll bet you do, too. But what if you don’t have a nice color printer? Well, we’d like to help.
We’ve giving away a brand new HP Deskjet D2660 Printer!
This printer is great if you’re looking for an basic printer that’s easy to set up and use. It’s a great tool for any crafter, and can help with so many projects. It has some pretty cool features, like:
- Print Speed Up to 28 ppm Black and Up to 21 ppm Color
- 80 Sheet Input Tray and 20 Sheet Output Tray
- USB 2.0 Connectivity
- Three, One Touch Buttons / Power, Resume and Cancel
- Resolution: Up to 4800 x 1200 Optimized DPI (Color)
So how do you win this awesome prize?

WINNERS: Congratulations to our winner, Kathy Mormino! Her comment was: 12. Kathy Mormino: I found the downloads for the Crayon wrappers on Chica and Jo and was inspired to make my daughter’s 2nd birthday party theme Crayons (b/c she EATS them as much as she colors with them!)!! I used your template to make customized crayon wrappers for her party! And it didn’t stop there- I made a Crayola Box cake, complete with crayons sticking out of it and then I made Wilton Candy melt covered pretzels that looked like REAL crayons, including personalized boxes! (photos available upon request!) What fun!! Thanks for the inspiration!! Kathy, we love your crayon party ideas and your creativity.

Wow! That’s a great giveaway! Thanks for the chance. My printer at home recently bit the dust and I’m in the market for a new one. I’ll have to check out this HP!
I found the Valentine Heart Sachet…and just in the nick of time to help my daughter make something for daddy! <3
I currently do not own a printer and I would print out and use the car maintenance records – would be very handy!
I LOVE the favor box template! My printer is terrible at home so I’m never able to print your templates. Would love to win!
Super Cute! Thanks for such a fun giveaway!
I found a downloadable template for the custom favor boxes that seemed really neat. I’m going to have to use it next time I throw a party.
I also really liked the kindle cover (although it doesn’t have a template) and I’m really excited about the formula that will let me adapt it to my nook
I’ve been wanting a cover that says “Don’t Panic” on it (as I practically worship Douglas Adams) and have been trying to think of the best way to make it. 
Thanks for the great giveaway. I like the Mario party invitations because both my boys are huge fans of Super Mario. I have downloaded it – thank you! They are going to be thrilled.
I want to make the magic folding cubes. I have a printer now but it is only black and white. So I hope I win.
Like always, my favorite download is the Customized Notepads! EVERYONE loves them and EVERYONE needs them for daily life. Thank you for another opportunity to win such awesome prizes, however I am a bit saddened that the craft projects are slowing down in replace of prizes. Sounds crazy, yes, but by golly your craft projects are the best prizes anyone could get!
Love the Kindle cover and toppers for the popcorn bag! Thanks for sharing.
I read your blog every day! I love all the great ideas ya’ll come up with. One of my favorite projects would be the Crayola crayon party invitations. My youngest daughter will be 4 this summer and these would be sooo cute for her birthday!

I found the CD/DVD holder template. Now I can give those loose CDs pretty homes!
I would make the custom boxes. I am a leader of our church youth group and we are alwys looking for fun things to do and give away to shut-ins and nursing home patients!
LOVE the picture notepads!! Those are so stinkin’ cool!! Add that with the padding compound and you’ve got an amazing gift!
I like the custom crayon wrappers for my family child care as they keep each child’s crayons separate and I could use a printer. Susan
Love that printer. I love your cupcake collars.
I love your cupcake collars, and Frankie has always been a favorite of mine… so I think the Frankenstein cupcake collar would be one choice for download. You have lots of really great ideas, tho, and it’s hard to choose. Thanks for the chance to win the printer.
I love the giveaway for the printer. It would be sooooo great to get this. I’m going to make some of the notepads so I ordered the kit to make these. Thanks again for the giveaway!!

I just downloaded the post-it note boxes. SO CUTE! Thanks for the chance to win the printer, you have so many wonderful ideas on your site, keep up the great work!
This would be perfect to print up some pictures for the magic folding photo cube. Me and the kids want to make one for DH for Father’s day for his desk.
I could use that printer! I like the Valentine Pop Corn Treat bags. A very cute way to dress up a treat bag.
As a person involved in Girl Scouts I just love all the ideas that are posted and that you can print templates out for free. Now a days it is so hard to find places that have giveaways…. what a great deal.
What a wonderful giveaway. I really do need a new printer at this time. My current one is on it’s last leg, so to speak! Just in time for St. Paddy’s Day.
I love the customized picture note pads! We would give these out to the grandparents if our old printer could handle it. Unfortunately, I think that much printing might send it over the edge.
Awwwe, LOVE the heart sachet–we are totally making that tomorrow! SO CUTE! Thanks for the chance to win the printer. Mine has been taken over by kids school work and husbands business. It would be SO nice to have one for my crafty projects again!
Thank you for the opportunity! Would be awesome to use this printer for all my scrapbooking and your great craft projects.
Hi! Just downloaded the Valentine cupcake collars. So cute ! Love the rose ones too. You always come up with such cute collars. I never tho’t of doing that ’till I saw yours. Great contest too! Got my fingers crossed. ( Does that help?)
I downloaded the pumpkin cupcake collars. It is a little early for halloween, but I’ll be ready for when it comes! After reading all the posts so far, I think I have to check out the crayon wrappers. Having a colored printer would be great to print all these wonderful ideas.

What a great giveaway! I love the crayola crayon wrapper invitation. I am planning on having an art party for my daughter, who loves to get messy and was thinking of using those for the invites. I’ve already started stocking up on crayons!
I downloaded the cookie exchange invitations. I love cookie exchanges but everyone seems to have them during Christmas which can be too hectic. Well, I need some cookies NOW! What better time to have a cookie exchange as when there are no major holidays coming up!
I expect once I set the date, it will be well attended. Who wouldn’t want cookies when it is this cold out!?!
Super giveaway!
I’ve actually downloaded and will print soon the Valentine cupcake collars with the “doily” edges, those are so cute!
I would love to win this prize! please put my name in the contest. Thanks!

Valetine popcorn treat bags were the answer to “what delicious treat holder can I make this year?” Thank you for the EZPZ download.
Super Mario Bros Invitation! Oh man! I had to come up with my own in October, wish I had your design then
There are so many…. I have only printed a couple because I have to go to the library to print them out. Well, I definitly love all the collars and the photo box and crayons. I think I can on and on, there are so many great ideas.

I love the Valentines day candle made from vintage valentines day cards.
I love this technique using the clear images transposed onto con-tact paper.
I would love to use this method to create a gift for my husband. He grew up the East Germany, which was a completely different world from anything we can imagine. He had very basic toys even just 30 years ago, things that were common stateside 50 years or more ago. So I would love to research and find some images of things he played with in his childhood or common brands and logos. I am not sure what yet I will decorate. I am open to ideas if anyone has any. But I know it would make him smile. He is always so excited when he sees things from the DDr
