A Giveaway! Sponsored by SJ Crafts

The Giveaway is now CLOSED! Thanks to everyone who entered. The winner will be announced on Thursday 5^th July!

This weekend I'm thankful for some lovely people who are going to sponsor a few giveaways.

The first exciting sponsored giveaway comes to you from the wonderful Sarah at SJ Crafts:

I love Sarah's shop, and not just because I'm lucky enough to be on the design team! It's mainly because Sarah stocks fantastic items (and the fact she's such a lovely lady is just an added bonus!).

Here's some of the things in stock right now that I'd like to get my hands on:

1. The Dear Lizzy Neapolitan 6x6 Paper Pad - I already have a couple of the stamps from this collection, but I'd love to have this paper pad too, for summer crafting:

2. It's no secret that I like using gems on my projects, especially lately - I just can't resist scattering them around my layouts! I'm always running low on blue gems, so these Hero Arts Light Blue Gemstones that arrived recently have caught my eye:

3. I've been wanting some K&Co Smash products since they were announced, and now they're in stock at SJ crafts, whoop! There's lots of bits I want, including the tape with different patterns, but the item I'm most keen on is the 'Travels' Smash Pad:

Which I know will be great for documenting the trips we go on over the holidays!

In the spirit of this organisational weekend, Sarah's going to tell us a tip about storing her supplies:

Keep your most used and favourite tools and supplies in a handy basket or box so they are always near at hand!!
 

These days I find I have less and less time to scrap my photos, so whenever I do get an hour or two to sit down to scrap, I want to be able to get straight on with a layout and not spend too much time gathering together my tools and supplies. 

Unfortunately I'm not lucky enough to have a dedicated craft room or even a worktop specifically for scrapping, where I can leave my supplies out. The table I use often has to be cleared for my daughter to do her homework or for us to eat dinner. 

I have a tiered cake stand which holds my adhesives, acrylic block, favourite punches, scissors and whatever else I am tending to use a lot of on my layouts. For example at the moment I can't seem to make a layout without adding some washi tape so I currently have 3 rolls sitting in the middle tier! This may change - next week it might be paint dabbers or a stamp set. I can grab my stand from the shelf where it lives when not in use, and place it on the table so I have all my tools close at hand, and ready to start scrapping. 

My stand came from Homebase but a basket would work equally well! 

Thanks Sarah, brilliant tip! I have a little basket on my desk for a few bits and bobs, but now I really want a stand like this to keep even more items within my reach. I can see how it would make things so much faster having this near to hand!

SJ Crafts is giving away a £10 gift voucher!
