Something Old, Something New - Day Three and a Giveaway!

We hope you have been enjoying our week's worth of "something old, something new" projects from the Xyron Design Team - today in addition to some fabulous projects we've got a little giveaway to hep you get inspired!

Summer is coming and Jessica Barnett helps us get ready with a fun kids' craft idea. Jessica took this spider flowerpot project:

and created these darling butterflies using the same cool flowerpot idea! On her blog today Jessica shares a tutorial on how to create these (and how to simplify them for smaller children).

You know we love calendars - and Ann Corbiere-Scott does too!  She took this magnetic calendar idea:

and took it to a new cool upcycled level using smashed bottle caps for the dates in her own calendar! On her blog today she gives us a tutorial on how create this project yourself.

Jen Goode took a cool and different approach to the challenge - she loved these Halloween goodie bags as they were:

so she decided to add another cute character to the collection with these darling mummy bags! Jen treats us all on her blog with a FREE printable so you can make these little cuties yourself.

Linda Neff took this Christmas ornament idea:

and created a fun star ornament that would be perfect for 4th of July celebrations.  Yay summer!  On her blog today Linda shows you how to create your own using scraps of cardboard and shares a lovely story on how she was inspired by the events in Boston.

We hope many of you caught Beth Kingston on HSN yesterday with our 2.5" create-a-sticker deal.  In case you didn't, we're going to give away one of our own!

Leave a comment here on the blog and one lucky winner will receive a machine of their very own.  Deadline to enter is midnight Sunday - the winner will be announced on the Xyron Facebook Page on Monday morning.  Good luck!
