PARIS page and some blog candy!

Hi everyone!  I have a scrapbook page to share today and some blog candy!

I mentioned when I started with the Spellbinders team that part of my duties is to make a scrapbook page every month.  I won't lie, these are tough for me.  I love the smaller "work canvas" of an A2 sized card.  Filling up a 12x12 page is a challenge for me!  But, as the months go on, it gets a bit easier.  Here is a layout I did a couple month ago.  It is now shown in the Spellbinders Idea Gallery website, so I can share it here with you.  

This picture was taken 9 years ago when Bill and I went on our "pre-honeymoon" (due to our work schedules we went on our honeymoon before we got married).  I am pretty matchy-matchy with the papers I use and the colors in the photo when I do a page.  I just can't help it!  So, I used the Antiquities 12x12 pad from GCD Studios which had a perfect mixture of burgundy and mauve colors!  The flower embellishments were created from the Grand Peony Creations die templates.  I also used the Classic Bracket Edgeabilities edger die and the decorative insert from the Classic Triple Scallop Edgeabilities to create my edges.  It's hard to capture in pictures, but there is a lot of glitz on this page.  Not only are the papers are glittered, but I used stickles on each of the flower blossoms I created as well.

Now, on to the blog candy.  OK, so when my BFF Teresa and I went to Winter CHA (last January), we collected some goodies from the various booths (this post shows some pictures from that trip).  I had it in mind to offer these as blog candy, and I am embarrassed that they sat at the bottom of a box for 9 months!  pfft.  Anyway, I have a sampling of little chachies from various booths. 

There are (Lot A):

A set of gift cards from ???

3 single stamps from Unity Stamp Co

Sample of glitter cardstock from Paper Accents

Instant Journaling vellum sheet from Quick Quotes (I found some others that are not in the picture)

A couple pin/broaches from Paper Crafts (on my blog post linked, you can see a picture of Susan Opel wearing one of these pins!)

Ribbon broach from Making Memories

Fabric flower broach from Hero Arts
I will also add some KaiserCraft and Cosmo Cricket pattern papers from my stash to this lot!

I also have up for grabs a couple stamp sets from Inkadinkado (Lot B).  There is a Halloween set, new and unused and a Christmas set (1 stamp used).

I thought I would offer these to 2 commenters.  I realize Lot A may not appeal to everyone, so leave me a comment letting me know which Lot you would appeal to you, Lot A, B or both.  I will chose 2 commenters on Tuesday evening and post on Wednesday.  I have one request, if you do not follow my blog and you leave a comment, PLEASE check back to see if you are a winner.  The last several times I had blog candy, the winners never came back to claim their prize.
EDITED: you don't have to be a follower to enter, just please check back to see if you have won if you're not a regular visitor.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
