Elmer's Crafting Challenge Giveaway!

Yes, that means free stuff for you, coming right up!!

A couple of months ago, representatives from Elmer's contacted me through email and asked if I would like to participate in the Elmer's Crafting Challenge. I quickly agreed because their crafting supplies rock and the prize is a meaningful one!

Here is what arrived.  And this is only a small sampling!



Here is the challenge that was issued to me:
Use the new Elmer's CraftBond and X-ACTO crafting products within this kit to create a craft that matches the theme of your blog by October 8. It can be anything from a family-oriented scrapbooking page layout to a trendy piece of home decor (if you need a little inspiration picking a project, just let us know)! Elmer's will make a $1,000 donation on behalf of the winning blogger to the national educational-based charity of her choice! Don't forget to share your craft with your readers and have fun giving away the three Elmer's prize packages we promised. Good luck!

I decided to make a layout that focuses on all the ways my family plays, creates and explores.  That is what scrapbooking is for me...  Here is my project!


To complete this layout, I used the very cool circle cutter from Elmers...think of it as a compass circle cutter but even better!  I love to add circles so this tool is perfect!  I am so in love with the cutting board they sent...it is a little bigger than 12X12 so you can fit your whole project on it.  The vibrant pink helps me to line things up...this mat will get used every day!  I incorporated their glue dots, foam tape and glitter pens on this layout as well.  See how I colored the cardboard in...I will be using these pens a ton!  Everything is made with the scrapbooker in mind!



I am so honored to participate in this challenge!  If I am chosen to be the lucky winner, I would ask that the donation be given to the Autism Society of America.  I am a special education teacher and have worked with many students with autistim over the years.  My students are gifted, unique, amazing kids who have taught me so much!  It is a cause that is near and dear to my heart!

HOW YOU CAN WIN:


I have been granted three prize packs from Elmer's and X-ACTO to giveaway. Each prize pack contains:

X-ACTO:
4-pack Decorative Edge Scissors
Self Healing Mat
Retractable Craft Knife
Craft Swivel Knife

Elmer's CraftBond:
Scrapbooking Tape: Repositionable
Extra Strength Glue Stick
Wet & Dry Dual Tip Glue Pen
Permanent Tape Runner

Stacey, wow what a gorgeous layout and what a gorgeous prize from Elmer's to do, Autism is just over here becoming very talked about and explains lots of childrens behaviours that have gone by undiagnosed.
