Xyron, Simple Stories and May Arts - Day Two and a Giveaway!

It is day two of the Xyron blog hop with our friends at May Arts and Simple Stories and the fabulous projects just keep on coming!

 What is better than creating your own wall decor?  Creating your own wall decor that allows you to change out the photos!  That is the genius behind this project from Arin Flynn - and on her blog today she gives you some tips and tricks for making this at home.

Know someone who is having a baby and thinks they don't have time to scrapbook?  Then head on over to Jessica Barnett's blog!  Today she shares an album that has 52 pages (yes!  52!) that need nothing more than photos to make them complete.  Imagine what joy it would bring someone to receive this as a gift - they would treasure it forever!  Jessica shares a bunch of the inside pages with us on her blog as well as some quick tips for creating this for someone you cherish.



Hello Summer - and hello acrylic! We totally dig this tri-fold frame from Pinky Hobbs - the Xyron adhesive and the double sided paper means it looks great from every angle!

Leave a comment here on the blog throughout the week - we are going to select one lucky winner from all comments to receive a big ol' prize pack that includes a Xyron 2.5" Create-a-Sticker, a Simple Stories Good Day Sunshine collection pack and a spool of May Arts ribbon (winner's choice)!  We'll announce the winner on our Facebook Page on Saturday.

We've got even better news - head on over to the Simple Stories blog and the May Arts blog - not only do they have some fabulous creations to share with you, they are giving away the same prize pack!  That is three chances to win a box full of goodies that will bring your Summer crafting to a whole new level!

    Just saw Vicki's fish card on Simple Stories blog and that would have been difficult had it not been for good adhesive like yours.

    I love the sonshine layout. The boards make a great background.
    You have to really love someone to make an album for them with 52 pages. It has to be someone you know will appreciate your time and creativity.
