Hi there blog friends!! First of all thanks for your feedback on the event I want to put together. I think some one has already coined it the No Challenge Challenge (ha -ha). I’m working on some inspiration for this to see if I can make it fly and you all have given me some great ideas.
Not sure where the day went, but I spent mine putting an old dying computer to bed. I’ve been working on an ailing laptop for months now and couldn’t find the time to transfer things. I guess we never realize how much stuff we collect on our computers and how we just can’t do without them. I’m almost done with getting the email all transferred over and have to find a couple of CD’s but just to give you an idea – the desktop I’m moving from I purchased in 2003 and the laptop (whose screen died) I got in 2006. It’s a little bit like letting go of your blankey – I know where everything is and this means I’ll have to say goodbye forever to Windows XP. I don’t think I’ve been more frugal with anything in my life. I have fixed and fixed until they can’t be fixed any more. On the bright side – no more waiting 5 minutes for each picture to come up so that I could edit it in Photoshop. That’s just a little window into my day – hope yours was fabulous.
| . . . . about the Blog Candy |
| I did take time to package up the winnings for the last blog candy winners so that it can fly out of here on Monday. So, it only seemed right to keep on with the the quest to share out this paper to someone who can and will use it! I’m giving away another set of both Prima Romantique and Prima Printery. Leave a comment letting me know what made it to the top of your new CHA releases list (no links please). Was it the new Spellbinders? Which one? The comments open today and will close some time on Thursday , February 9th – that gives you up to six times enable someone (mischievous grin). |
Thanks for stopping by today! Ill be back tomorrow, I’m sure. Crafty smooches!!
Definitely the new Spellbinders made it onto my list – I have several pre-ordered from one of my fave Canadian suppliers!
Thanks Becca….know what you mean on the computer. Sad to say we are a world of technology!
Hi Becca,
Sounds like you have been a very busy girl today, I hope you get it sorted to your satisfaction asap. I have been sorting my bead boxes today which I thought would only be an couple of hours and it took all evening. You are right when you say, where did the day go?
If I had to choose top spots for products I really want from the new CHA releases it would have to be 5 things sorry:- Spellbinders Moroccan & Persian Motifs/Accents and Tim Holtz Distress Ink Markers. I must be honest with you though Becca, I seem to fall in love with something new everytime I look at the new releases.
Well have a good day today, whatever you are up to. I’m off to bed now as its 2am. Nite Nite. Hugs Linda
I feel for your struggles with the computer, Becca. I am still fighting switching to a new one some fix and fix and refix the old tower. Wish list….oh my…finally decided on the Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles ( from a very loong wish list) LOL thanks for another chance at those gorgeous papers!
Of course, anything Spellbinders would make me happy, just wish I could afford them all.
OOhhh my laptop just decided not to turn on…..you are so right- they are like your right arm! I am using an older model that is sooooo slow……! I feel your pain- but hope your new computer will work wonders for you! I am loving the new Spellbinders dies- love the distress markers aka Tim Holtz, love the new Copic colors, love the Christy Tomilson line of she art stamps…..
Just to name a few…..now if I could just win the lottery…..LOL Thanks for a chance to win!
I have a new computer … love it!! Tim Holtz’ new distress markers have perked my interest.
Hi Becca – computers UGH – but we are lost without them! I think my favourite of the CHA new releases would have to be the Spellbinders Dies – I would be hard pressed to choose between the Persian Dies and the Ribbin Buckles – they are all divine!! Thank you for yet another opportunity to win some gorgeous goodies!! God bless you! {{{hugs}}}
I totally love the new Spellbinders, I want the all but probably the first one I get is the Floral Ovals then the Ribbon Buckles, They are to die for and I am torn between them. Thanks so much for your inspiration, your creations are so very beautiful and they make me want to be more creative. Blessing, Linda
oh, such an enabler you are. the trendy tapes caught my eye. wait til tomorrow so i can tell you more. til then bye …
My XP died a while ago, and I SO miss it! Win7 is too techy for me, and none of my XP software is compatible….sigh. Good luck with the change!
I saw a cool little tool that cuts thin strips of paper with ease, and I’d love to have a closer look, as I love to make herringbone backgrounds with strips of paper! I’m also intrigued with the distress markers as well as the Spellbinders that fold over themselves! So many cool items, such a small wallet! LOL
I know the feeling about the old computer. Everything is right where you need it, and it’s so familiar, but oh so slow. I still miss Windows XP.
What was our favorite new release? That’s a hard one! There were so many. Was it some of the new Just Rite stamps?
Or would I decide to say it’s between the Moroccan, Persian and Damask Motifs and Accents from Spellbinders???? I think I’ll choose the Spellbinders, but I could never decide which one of the three sets. I NEED them all!
I guess I chose the Spellbinders because they are so versatile. I’ve got a lot of stamps, (and a lot of Spellbinders), but there is something about those lacy dies that I love!
Thank you for offering this giveaway opportunity again.
I would have to say the Spellbinders; but as for a favorite, I gotta say all of them cause I’m just starting out using the Spellbinders and only have 2 so they are All favorites

Hi Becca,
I recently had to up date my computers…both of them, so I totally understand what you are going through. I did loose most of my stuff on the desk top as it seriously crashed and I wouldn’t pay to have info transferred But you know what, I lived without it. I have not taken to making hard copies of important stuff, and so I seem to be copying things all the time. I am enchanted with the new Spellbinder dies. Especially the Floral Burst. I love the look of folded back parts creating a two tone image. I have cut them in the past with an Xacto knife. Not fun, for sure. So I’m looking forward to that one, as well as some others.
Thanks for all you do for us.
Candy Meyers
I fell in love with the two-toned Lindy Stamp Gang mists. The colors are beautiful and add so much depth to your projects.
I always get so many crafty things for Christmas (I do my husband’s shopping for him!) that I always resolve not to get anything new for a long while. Then along comes CHA! I’m drooling over doily dies. I love all those little holes! :o)
Becca: It ws the cut and tuck flowers from Spellbinders that will be until March to get my hands on…..oh which one to get first!!! They are all so wonderful. After I saw your wonderful flower with one of these dies, I knew I was hooked.
Oh you are so lucky to have skipped over Vista!!! I am still being tormented by it. I have one PC that still works with XP on it. I hope it lasts forever! lol
The damask motif Spellbinders caught my eye along with Tim Holtz Distress markers. Thanks for the chance for the giveaway!
Hi Becca. You will love your new computer once you get used to it. It is amazing how fast the new computers are.
I have to say I thought the new Tim Holtz distress markers would be really, really nice. I saw a video of them being demonstrated and thought they were great. And of course, anything by Spellbinders (just wish they didn’t cost so much).
Thanks for the opportunity to win some gorgeous paper. I really like the Prima Romantique paper, anything with roses on it.
on the top of my CHA list is the EK Sucess new stamping tool. It looks like a cog and has a clear paddle so you can stamp a motif in a circular fashion. I am a bit of a gadget girl and would love a spell binder gadget. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am loving the new TH dies (fan, telephone and typewriter). They are just vintage goodness.
God bless,
Peggy Allen
I love the Spellbinders flower that was sort of spiraly.
I love almost all the new Spellbinders but I am especially anxious to try out the new Tim Holtz Distress markers to see how they work and if they are better than my current markers. I don’t have many Copic’s since you need a lot of them and a commitment to learning how to use them properly. Thanks for all the beautiful cards and projects you share. You and your blog are awesome! GlendaJ
Without a doubt, SPELLBINDERS!!! You didn’t really have to ask, did you? I also hear from a friend who was lucky enough to go to CHA that there’s gorgeous Want2Scrap bling to go with the Decorative Dress Forms I won, so that’s atop my Wish List now!!!
It won’t take long for you to get use to using the new machine and you will find it so much easier to not have to wait!
Cosmo Cricket Tea for Two is so sweet and October Afternoon’s Woodland Park really looks like fun.
Hope you have a great weekend! :)
I love many of the new Spellbinders ~ so beautiful! I also like the new Inkadinkadoo/EKSuccess stamping system that looks like gears ~ I saw it demonstrated on someone’s blog today ~ looks really neat for making designs with cling stamps.
Thanks for the chance to win!
The best new release is Becca’s Bow Maker!!!! I am anxiously waiting for mine to arrive. I struggle with bows and am really looking forward to creating beautiful masterpieces…..
Hi Becca. One of my favorites are the Romantic Rectangles from Spellbinders. Thank you for the opportunity to win the gorgeous Prima Papers. You have been busy with the computer! Just think how nice it t will be once you get things transferred, up and running. The price of progress is quite time consuming. Good Luck.
top of my list is the new Tim Holtz and Sizzix eClipse paper cutter that cuts out his stamps. I am sure that other companies will be given the opportunity later so I will probably wait and save up my money to get it. My more short term has to be the Spellbinders flowers. I am going to try and make most of mine this year…gotta save up for the eclipse! Vickie
You named it, Becca. The Spellbinders “Wings of Hope” with the delicate butterfly you used in your last post is my absolute favorite. And, of course, this paper would be a delight to receive. Thanks for the opportunity to win it!
My computer may be older than yours, but my RCG “resident computer genius” husband keeps it going somehow. He’s a gem in every way, and I tell him at least once every day — including special cards to say so.
Spellbinders floral ovals, just gotta have em!!! Sorry to hear about your computer troubles but you will be so much happier in the long run. There’s nothing worse than waiting on a pokey computer! Been there, done that!
Funny how a familiar computer just works for us…lol
I have added many of Tim Holtz products to my list-most of all dies. I also have my eye on a couple Spellbinders from the last hop/
The Spellbinders are definitely on my list. I love the spiral flowers but I would take any of them. I just drooled while you all were showing the peeks of what they could do! Have a wonderful weekend!
Yeap you sure do miss your old computer and they say they run slow but I’m not sure my new one is as fast ha ha and Xp there was never a better system but they say we have to move with the times. Oh Becca I’m feeling for you. You feel like you have lost an old friend. Love the papers you are giving away hun thanks for the opputunity to win some of these gorgeous papers. Now for CHA top of my list was two sets of spellbinders just can’t make my mind up :O) Romantic Rectangles or the new Floral Ovals and I still have a long list from last years CHA ha ha Ah will we ever catch up :O)
You always have the neatest papers! Thanks for the chance to win. I’m not sure how fair it is to ask for my favorite new Spellbinders because I drool over them all! I really like the new cut-fold-tuck dies. I can see a lot of opportunity with those. Love that Morocan set you used on your card today.
Spellbinders fold and tuck dies (Angle Approach, Carnival dream,Floral Burst, Round About; Spectaculas Spin) are right up there close to the top for me. Anytime I can make the card look like it has some depth, I’m all over that product.
Hugs
Picking a favorite Spellbinder is like picking a favorite child! I guess my favs would be Floral Oval Nesties, Wings of Hope Butterflies, Layered Flowers Shapeabilities and the Persian Motifs and Accents … like I say, it’s hard to pick ONE favorite :)
Between Tim Holtz and Spellbinders I will be suitably broke for the next couple of months. Thanks for the chance.
oh how I understand all the stuff we have on our computers, I just lost everything when a virus hit mine, but I just said well you know what I’m not going to stress if it’s gone it’s gone , I will just start fresh , let me say I had years and some very important things on here from doctors notes to just about everything but I’m in a no Stress place but last night I sat down goggled my issure and would you belive it , It was all just Hidden there is a button that was checked that the virus does and just makes you think everything is gone. Now I just have to get it all backed up before it happens and this time it will be gone.
As always I love spellbinders I think I’m heading towards the Spectacular Spin this time , something new to try. Hope you have a wonderful weekend Becca
I love the Spellbinders Cut-Fold-Tuck die templates. I remember when we used to cut those designs by hand with an Xacto knife. Since we live near the shore, I also love the Just-Rite sea-inspired stamps to go with their medallion dies.
I think its that time of your to purge. I have been tossing things that need to be tossed and packing up some things to donate. I really like windows 7 but you need to get used to it. Hubby was not happy when he had to change over LOL but in time he got used to it. So anyway till next time.
My favorite release is the Floral Oval Nestabilites (that was a tough choice, BTW!)
I feel your pain with the loss of your old ‘puter. We had to replace one of ours that was 6 or 7years old and I know exactly how you feel. Takes a bit of retraining to know where things are but the increased speed is well worth it :) Hang in there!!
New CHA goodies – love the leafy squares!! Fabulous for Fall cards. New paper lines are always a joy to see too :) Thanks for the chance to win and have a fabulous weekend!
It’s Spellbinders for me! I just love them and the new products are just spectacular. A hard decision, but the top of my list would be the Persian Accents followed by the Moroccan Accents. Also can’t wait to try the new Cut-Fold-Tuck dies. Hmmm will have to start putting some pennies aside.
I love all the Spellbinders products. But my fave so far looks to be the new M-Bossibilities. Can’t wait to try them out
HaHa ….. we are alot alike, I have had my baby since 2005 and the monitor too …. my husband keeps asking me how long I am going to hang on to this “thing ” of the past but I am like you…. I love my windows xp and I don’t like having to learn new things. I will hang on to it as long as it keeps on going. Maybe it will last another 7 years…. : ) Smiles….. God bless….. Denice
I’m drooling over all the new My Mind’s Eye releases. Every single one.
Definitely the new dress form spellbinders and the new cut and fold ones!!!
My two favorites from CHA that I have seen so far are Spellbinders Persian Motifs set & Accents set and Antique frame & accents. Both because I loved what you did with them. I also like the new Memento ink colors. Memento is my favorite ink.
I love the new spellbinders coming out of CHA, but something that has also caught my interest is the new “Distress Markers being released by Tim Holtz, I really want a set of those. I’m sure there are plenty of other products that will come out of CHA that will be added to my must have list though…Jenelle
The new Distress markers and the Moroccan dies. Can’t wait to get my hands on these.
‘Cheery Lynn Design’ dies: several of their flourishes, a couple of the doily dies, definitely the corner die sets, and the three rose dies…when I save money the new alphabet die set!!! WHEW…they are soooooooooooooo pretty!!!
Also like the EK Success ‘Stamping Gear!
Was really impressed with the ‘E-Bosser’ by ‘Craftwell’…it won’t be available until April, but it certainly caught my attention!
Paper Hugs,
Jan

Regards
The Spellbinders Wings of Hope and the Floral Ovals both seem to be on my must have list…and I know we will meet up in the future and make wonderful memories together…:)
I love the new Spellbinders that look like paper lace…enchanting! I can’t wait to get hold of them!
I just love all the new Spellbinders. However, the ones I “NEED” to purchase right away are the Morrocan and the Wings of Hope. You have inspired me with your creations. You are so generous with your goodies-bless your heart. Thanks for a chance to win.
I would have to say spellbinders, maybe the Persian Motifs. can’t remember all the names, lol. thanks for a chance to win some beautiful paper. I know what you mean about the computer. I have a windows 7 and an XP. I use the XP very little, babying it along becasue it will run my picture it program and windows 7 won’t. Don’t know what I’ll do when it finally dies.
On my first wish List will be of course Spellbinders, they have got to be my all time favorite and MUST HAVES, a favorite, lets see, love all the new flowers, spectacular Burst, and all the others that you can open up and layer for a 3 d dimensional look, and Floral ovals and label 25, I love them all. Going to be a very big wish list!!!
Hugs
Donna
Sorry to hear about your computer, and know exactly how you feel, I lost mine to Hurricane power surcharge in September and I am still finding and remembering things I lost as I had not done a recent back up!!! I accumulated so much over the years, and the pictures I lost of my deceased Mom and brother in law, but lesson learned, I now have an external back up and am also going to get an UN interrupted power supply soon, so I have time or the computer does to shut down in these situations.
Good luck with your new computer!! It will take time to get used to new OS, I am still figuring out windows 7, I Loved XP and was so used to it..
hugs
Hi Becca, oh it is so hard when you have to change computers and your loyal always used items won’t work on the new one.I do know all about that. lol.
I am making my gdaughters wedding invitations and having all sorts of problems cutting out the die. I have to run it through so many times to get it to cut, embossing is fine. it just doesn’t want to cut easily. So what would I like any hints on getting this die to cut. I only have to do 70 but so far its taken me a week to do 24.
Hugs Trish.
Greetings Becca,
Sorry to hear about the “curse of the electronics” syndrome! It seems like my husband is always trying to trouble shoot one of our computers.
As far as the new releases go, I cannot wait for Spellbinders Antique Frame and Accents. I had seen the frame a little while ago on a project and finally it will be available to purchase.
I also am interested in the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear. I am intrigued with it’s potential.
The third is the I-Magicut (the ribbon cut and seal system).
Happy crafting to you!
Cathie
Becca – always Spellbinders and in particular the vintage frame and he Persian motifs – both must haves
Tim Holtz’s new distress markers have really piqued my interest. And then there’s all the new Spellbinders, but to just pick one . . .
You have my sympathy on transferring from one computer to another and having to change operating systems. Went thru that earlier in the year, and was totally out of commission for a few months. But it is nice to again be up and running. As for the CHA products that I just couldn’t live without. . . . . . . Spellbinders, Spellbinders, and more Spellbinders. Everything else has been sent to the back burner until next month. Tim Holtz has several new products that I want. Those are next along with the newest G 45 paper collections. How about you? What new stuff couldn’t you just live without? Please share.
Marcie
I think Tim Holtz new Criuit cartidges rank right up there with some other CHA new things. The paper you have to share is beatiful. I had my name in the last draw for it, maybe I’ll be luckier this time.
Yes, I do like some of the new Spellbinders – can’t wait to try them out, and I also like some of the new papers.
Gosh can I relate to computer problems. I’m going to have to put mine to sleep soon and I dread it. I love the new Spellbinders, especially the floral oval and the Morroccan sets. I also like the idea of the im-bossibilities and can’t wait to see them IRL.
Thanks for more paper giveaways, aren’t computer problems frustrating and time consuming?! I love the new Spellbinders Sewing Elements, they look great (i think they are new for CHA).
Spellbinders……Spellbinders…..Morroccan sets….anytime..hihi…
Thank’s .always a pleasure reading you ….
I know you will not be missing your old computer longer than a week, maybe! New things/changes are always a little scary, but just wait!
I think my favorite find has been Spellbinders – especially how you use them in your cards. And I agree with some other posts, the Wings of Hope have got to be the best collection of dies around! I hope to be able to afford them sooner rather than later.
Thanks.
May of the new Spellbinders die made it to my list. Too many to mention! I just wish they weren’t so dear :o(
Hugs, Candy
The new Spellbinders dies have me drooling with desire. I wish I could collect them all – they cut so beautifully and add so much to our cardmaking. I always think there just can’t possibly be more designs in someone’s head and yet Spellbinders continues to offer innovative designs season after season, year after year.
Becca, so sorry to hear about your computer problems, but I know you will get a lot of good use from your new one.
My favorite release are the Prima Trinkets. Birds, bike, branches = BEAUTIFUL!!
I would love to win your giveaway of one the Prima lines of paper, as they are my favorite papers. Unfortunetly, no one sells it in my area, so I have to resort to buying it at stamp shows, or ordering online. Thank you for your kindness in everything you share with all of us.
Hi Becca, I’m glad you’re getting a new computer. If this new one last as long as your old one, look at all the enjoyment you’ll get out of it. It will really save you time too. More time to create your beautiful projects, yeah! There are so many new things to wish for in paper crafting, Its hard to decide what to want first. I can’t wait to get some of the new spellbinders. The Persian and Damask motifs and accents are on my wish list. Pretty much anything you’ve shown us, and used so beautifully, is what I want! You are a master of the die!! Thanks for the chance to win these lovely papers. Hugs and blessings! Patty W.
Sorry about ypr blankey, I know what you mean, hope it all works out. To tell the truth I haven’t looked at any of the CHA releases except Spllebinders and then only because I had hoped to win some. Thanks for another chance to win.
Blessings Bernie
I, like many before me, have to go with Spellbinders. I have a few I REALLY like – and when I say a few I actually mean a lot. The M-Bossibilities are currently out in front – Paisley design looks really good. I too had XP and was hoping it would last – then my computer got struck by lightening – so I had to get with the program – quite literally, and now I am starting to feel comfortable with it all again.
I’m looking forward to the mini spiral blossoms.
Definitely, the spellbinders, and, some of the matching stamps are in my must haves. The nesties just seem so “naked” without the stamps. It takes them to the WOW factor! And, of course, the wallet says OW!
If only, I could be good enough to be a designer and, maybe, get some of the products sent to me. I won’t hold my breath on that, cause, I could never be in league with their amazing projects. Where is a rich sugar daddy when I need him? LOL!
I think my favorite new product was the Becky Fleck Spellbinder’s dies.
I’m thinking that those markers of Tim’s are the next must-have for me. You are so generous with your talents, time and now papers. Thank you.
Hi Becca, I love anything Spellbinders and I am chomping at the bit for the new Tim Holtz Markers.
I wish I had a laptop, but I have a regular PC. I am not as proficient as I should be, but I think it’s “old age” creeping up on me. So glad you’re getting a new lap top.
You are so Creative. I got a late in life start on Stamping and all the rest, so I am a few years behind. You are just wonderful and I look forward to seeing your new creations each day.
Thanks for your talent.
Charlene
Becca, I’m also dealing with an aging computer and having a difficult time buying a new one because I’m so concerned everything won’t transfer. It’s like losing an old friend. However, the problems and programs are becoming more frequent which means it’s time to take that BIG STEP and buy a new one. My favorite CHA items are definitely anything Spellbinders especially the Moroccan and Persian accents. Gorgeous. Thanks for the chance to win the paper. I’ll try one more time. Enjoy your week-end.
Shirley L.
Roseville, CA
Papers are gorgeous! I think besides your bow maker, my favorites are the Spellbinder dies. I love the Moroccan Accents and the cut and fold dies. I also like the Tim Holtz Distress Markers and, and…do we ever not like everything? LOL Thanks for all you share with us.
DEFINITELY Spellbinders … I’ve pre-ordered the Crosses you showed on a sympathy card, I think it was. Beautiful, and I hope to get them in time for Easter cards.
THANK YOU for sharing your loot with us. I’d DEFINITELY use it (when I give up on loving it first).
Fondly,
Ellen
P.S. I’m in line for a Becca Peg Bow Maker too!
Definitely the spellbinders. I have several that are fighting for the privilege of “first purchase.” I’ve been trying to be on a no-craft buying trend to save for a bit but the new spellbinders may just be too much temptation. The new m’bossabilities (I think I have that name wrong) are currently at the top of the list.
I love so much from CHA it is hard to choose. I do know I have to have the spellbinders that fold back on theirselve. I also like the Tim Holt’s markers.There is so much I want but I to am going through the change with a laptop. I’m going to buy mine tomorrow. I made mine last as long as I could.
Well there are so many items to choose from but I think it would have to be Tim’s Stamp 2 Cut, and of course the new Spellbinder Dies. All of this of course means that I’ll be looking for a part-time job. (Tee Hee) Good Luck with your new computer. Change is good so “they” say!
Hi Becca, I know new computers are hard to get use to, but after you adjust to it you will get things done a lot quicker and easier,
The spellbinders all look great, would love a few of them in my craft room,
and theTim Holtz marker sound like they woud come in very handy too,
have a great day.
your blog always inspires me.. and i love the latest cards..
anything with detailed cutting .. catches my eye
i would love to have all the spellbinders dies… and the stamp sets that go along with them…
i really love the romantique papers and thank you for another give away.. i can keep my fingers crossed :)
big ladybug hugs
lynn l
Spellbinders, of course. I love the new sets and can’t wait to give them a try.
there were so many yummy things released at CHA and I probably wont get to see 1/4 of them but I love the New Spellbinder dies especially the cut fold and tuck dies and the M-bossibilities – i could have so much fun with these and the new Prima press stamps look like fun especially for kids
Hi Becca, I must admit, it´s totally impossible to choose just one favorit from CHA, but I can choose the brand, and that´s definitely Speelbinders, but there´s also soo many gorgeous papers comming out, and I´m sooooooooooo loving all beautioful papers too he he. If I just could make myself to cut in them, but some of those I have got, I really don´t dare to cut, if I can´t find them again LOL. here where I live, we don´t have acces to much of all these wonders you have over there, and it´s so expensive to have it mailed here, so I only use these for really special projects.SIGH.
That´s also a reason, why I hope to be lucky enough to win some ofd these beauties some day LOL.
Have a great week-end hun and hopefully no more computerproblems, which is a real pain. I´ve just had mine reformatted too, because it kept on making troubles all the time. Funny they can really drive us nuts some times, but we can´t live without them either ha ha ha. Hope yours is solved now.
So many lvoely things to choose, how can u just pick one? So i need a few.
Yes you need a new pc as the speed is not there. New operating systems are a pain to learn but you wont look back.
Good luck with it
Hi Becca – I too dread ‘leaving XP’!!! – but I’m sure you will manage to cope.
MMMmmmm – CHA releases???? – well it has to be Spellbinders of course and I have Classic Edges earmarked…. but then I liked Persian Accents & Motifs and Antique frames etc…. and of course Tim Holtz distress marker pens might just end up in my craft room!!!! Have a happy day.
Hugs

Hi Becca, I’m with you, I definitely miss Windows XP…everything was so easy to find!! If I can get this stuff, so can you…hang in there!
I totally fell in love with the new Spellbinders Morrocan and Persian collections!! Swoon!!! And the new Tim Holtz dies!! More swooning! I just recently got into Art Journaling and Mixed Media, so the one thing that tops my list, is the Caran D’Ache Neocolor II Artist’s Crayon Sets!! Oh my!!
The new Spellbinders definitely made it to my list! Totally understand your computer problems. I’m adjusting to a new one but I didn’t have an opportunity to transfer anything. Mine crashed with very little warning! I lost many files and have been busy trying to recreate. Good luck!
Yes, I think some of the new Spellbinders were so cute. Liked the dress form one. There were a couple of new dies from Tim Holtz that caught my eye as well so we’ll have to see who comes in first, lol!!! Good Luck with your new computer! I’m hunting a new car, man is that a job! Will be really glad when it’s a done deal!
Definitely Spellbinders…have my sights on the Moroccan and Persian sets. Sorry to hear about your computer troubles.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this paper. I love the new odb stamps and am waiting on my hymn background to arrive. I am making cards for my mother in love to give out to her friends at her nursing home. This paper would be great for them!
Lucy
Love the paper and the chance to win some of it! So many new items from the CHA event, what do you choose?? I did see some new markers that looked interesting, I always love the spellbinders items….I really should save up to get a few things! I have to budget my craft items very wisely so I usually only get something that I truly need and do not have already or a another way to do it. I have to be a thrifty crafter and I reuse and recycle lots of things, you would not belive some of the things that go into my craft projects, but I also feel it makes me more creative that way too! ~gin~
The Spellbinders are on top and of course the lovely prima DP. But I try to spend wisely that which my good Lord provides!! May God’s Grace be apon you today!!
I do love Spellbinders but what made the top of my list were the distress markers by Ranger and Tim Holtz. I love distress inks and this is just like icing on the cake for me. I can’t wait to get my hands on some of these!
Spellbinders certainly tops my list, but some of the new papers are a close second, including some of the new My Mind’s Eye. How to choose a favorite thought…hmmm….just can’t pick one!
It would have to be the new Spellbinder dies. There are so many new one that I would love to have. It would be too hard to pick my favorite.
the Spellbinders new Floral Ovals is on the top of the list! Sorry to hear about
the computer…I have a dinosaur that is from 2002 and it is still my fav…my DH keeps saying time for a new one…not yet….Good Luck!
The T.H.markers and some spellbinders. I still not have complete my list of last year spellbinders so I will have to reconsider which one a by.
Good Morning Becca
I love the way Spellbinders and Just Rite stamps go together like a match made in papercrafting heaven.
Thanks for the chance to win another lovely set of papers.
Have a splendid day.
I am really excited about the cut and tuck dies, every year I make paper Christmas ornaments for gifts for my friends. I can see cutting these and putting 2 back to back, and add some crystals on them.
Have a Great day Becca, Diane
I know how you feel about your computer and laptop. You will bond with your new laptop and wonder why you waited so long! CHA had so many wonderful things I need!!! I really love several of the new Bo Bunny lines, and then there is MME. I want to check out the TH distress markers too. Spellbinders always has must have dies. Thanks for the chance to win the beautiful papers. Enjoy your blog very much.
Wow Becca now this is a challenge! There was so much to love from CHA this go round. Well, I think all of the spellbinders are fantastic, particularly the Moroccan and the Persian sets, the cut and fold dies and the tea set were just lovely. I also really am excited over the TH distress ink pens, how much fun could be had with those? Graphic 45’s new paper sets, Pink Paislee’s and Basic Grey’s also. The quilling tools, I’m really wanting to dip into that technique. Someone here mentioned ODB, I’ve never seen anything that they have released that I didn’t immediately fall in love with. There’s so much more that just isn’t coming to mind right now.
And now I am drooling over the beautiful Prima kits that you have posted as blog candy!
Oh Becca, I just love all the wonderful new items that Cha has to offer! I guess my favorite at the moment are the cut and fold dies! They just have so many uses! Fingers crossed!
A new computer is always so daunting! Best of luck to you! My fav releases are the always the Tim Holtz products but I do have so favs among spellbinders too! I love the Donna S releases and am really really in love with the new cut and tucks- especially Spectacular Spin! Thank you for another chance!
It’s always Spellbinders on my list. Just when I think I couldn’t possibly need or want any more, new ones are released and I realize that I really DO NEED them!
As for computers … I honestly can’t imagine life without one now (lol).
Spellbinders win out over anything else. They have so many uses, as you’ve shown us! They seem to have taken them to a whole new level of creativity and possibilities for us to use. JustRite and ODB with their matching stamps and dies are another great addition. Thank you for your generosity!
Becca, thanks so much for the chance to win the gorgeous papers, but
More thanks for showing us your lovely ideas for card making. I look
forward to your cards ea h day!
I liked a lot of new products but it would be the Spellbinders my favorite. Loved all the new that were released. Thank you for the giveaway. Have a nice day,
Oh, definitely the new Spellbinders dies – I’m always curious to see what they come up with. My fave by far – in part because of YOU, Becca! – is the Moroccan Accents set. You’ve highlighted this set with a few lovely cards that put it at the top of my list!
It is always exciting to win something, so thanks for another opportunity. You are so sweet to share with us. Glad to hear you are nearing the end of clearing out your old computers. It always feels good to finish any time- consuming job. It is almost like a breath of fresh air when you finish! Enjoy that feeling, before you know it you will be knee deep in “aligators” again- LOL! (At least that is how it works in my life.) Of course, usually I learn a lot from those “aligators”! May you have a blessed weekend.
Becca,
I know just how that is. I also lost my computer but it died without warning. I tried to get it fixed but could not so I lost everything on it.
I have a laptop now & had to learn all over again.Also during that time I lost my email so I lost alot of my friends email address. Had to get a new address & slowly finding the other email address I lost. Praying for you that it will be easy to put everything together on your new computer.
Vicky
My top choice is the Spellbinders Crosses. The card you made with the crosses is so beautiful. I’m looking forward to working with them.
Loved the new Spellbinders but also Tim Holtz’s new ink markers totally love and would love to get them.
I haven’t had the chance to see most of the new CHA releases – but I always check out Tim Holtz – his new markers should be big – saw his new ideaology embellishments, keeping an eye out for all the new stuff in the stores and on YouTube!
What absolutely blew me away was the booth of DCWV! Holy Moly! And, how nice it would be to receive some of the boooootiful paper. Thanks and hope you get real friendly with new computer soon!! :)
Hi Becca – I’ve not posted recently but follow your blog daily, and your cards are so lovely!! The new Spellbinders are gorgeous and I especially like the Persian Motifs and Accents and have placed them on my wish list. Thank you for the opportunity to win the so pretty papers! Blessings, Jean.
I love the Spellbinder dies, the co-ordination between Tim Holtz and E-clipse. I was so impressed with the Peacock at the DCWV Booth. I looked like it was a very impressive show. I wish I could have attended.
Love the M-bossabilities folders by Spellbinders. Can’t wait to get them and try them out.

Good grief, Becca. it isn’t even 9:30 on a Saturday morning and already you have over 120 comments! Well, not to be outdone, I will tell you that I’ve been waiting for those new Spellbinders dies. I have a limited income, so I try to pick something that appeals to me on many levels and can be used in many ways. Last year it was Ironworks Motifs & Accents, this year it is Moroccan Motifs & Accents. I was shocked to find it already on the shelf at my local Michael’s last night! I bought the Accents with my 40% off coupon and plan to go back today to get the Motifs with another coupon. Next week I will be back because they also had the Ironworks Accents which I haven’t been able to find all year… where do these things go? All in all, my Spellbinder’s dreams are coming true and winning your “candy” would just be the cherry on top of the banana split! Sugar-free, of course!
I think it is great that you are clever enough to sort out and transfer everything to your new computer. . I have to rely on my son who doesn’t live nearby. As far as the new items are concerned I just love the floral ovals,romantic rectangles and moroccan accents. Hope they fly over tothe UK soon as I hate waiting for things – I need them NOW!.
Becca, Thanks to you (really, no sarcasm intended) I now need this butterfly. Absolutely gorgeous! I also have lots of butterfly stuff, and sometimes I feel that this is “immature” – I’m not sure where that comes from – except that butterflies were big when I was a teen a long time ago! The Spellbinder crosses are also exquisite and I don’t have any of those yet, so that should probably be my next purchase. Hugs to you!
I would have to say the new Moracan dies from spellbinders. So Pretty!
Oh Becca, I love both those Prima lines so it would be a blast to win! From CHA, there was soooo much to love this year but I think the little wheels you can put on boxes and 3D projects from the Tim Holtz line are my favorite. Have to get some of those. Thanks for sharing your extras with us!
Mary
I have pre-ordered six of the Spellbinders dies. I would have loved to order all of them. But my budget just said no! I also love the new ribbon holder you designed. I can’t wait to get it! Hugs, Mary
I love the new edgeabilities. I hadn’t bought any of them yet, so I glad I waited because now they have been repackaged into the inserts and the cutting edges.
Love the Moroccan and Persian dies. Thank you!
I love all the new Spellbinders. I really would like to get the Romantic Rectangles.
Hi Becca. I accidentally crashed my computer last week and lost EVERYTHING. I finally learned I must back up everything so this never happens again. lol. I have to say I’m intrigued by the new Tim Holtz markers.
I LOVE Prima paper lines. They are so inspiring to work with!
The top of my CHA list? I must have those Distress Pens. ALL of them.
Also, and it will never happen since I have a working Cricut, but I yearn for the Eclips so I can cut out those Tim Stamps.
Linda S in SC
Well, I guess I’d have to say the Spellbinders—Moracan & Perisian sets!!!!!!! Funny, it seems this year I haven’t really seen much in what was going on at CHA!!!!! Is it just me???? :)
I was dazzled, as always by most of the new Spellbinder releases and have many on my list……..BUT – I was blown away by the cool idea of the reversible embossing folders! What a fantastically awesome and simple idea!!!!!!! Two folders in the space of one AND they do a nice deep emboss!
Hey Becca, I haven’t watched all the CHA videos, but I loved the Spellbinder Moroccan dies. They are lovely. What really blew me away was the DCWV booth…That Peacock was amazing! I know it isn’t a company that you design for…but oh my heavens! I also love Tim’s new pens, and some of his new little findings. This Prima paper…I’ve never had any…and no prima flowers either. So it would be wonderful to play with it. Thanks for the chance to win. Hugs, Jess
Hi Becca ,
Back for my second day and second love of new releases, is My Memory box dies, I also love all of their new line, and NO there is not a favorite , love them all, and they were the first to arrive at my local store and I was the first there, so I got my picks, and I am going to play now!!!
See you tomorrow.
hugs
Donna
Ohhhhhhh I love enabling….bwahahahaha!!!! There is so much I’m not sure I can pin any one thing down…..for sure the new mini collections from Echo Park!
Oh there are sooooo may things I’d love to have/try…
If I could only have one thing from Spellbinders it would be the new Floral Ovals SKU: S4-356 not only are they BEAUTIFUL but they work with the large classic ovals I have…. a plus for sure!
I guess the next thing I love to have are the new Tim Holtz pens…. I’d love to try them out for sure!!
And then any and ALL papers…
Hi Becca,
My Faves are definety the Moroccan and Persian accents…………Gorgeous!
Hugs
Gail R xx
The spellbinders cut fold and tuck has me drooling. I also pre-ordered one of the M-bossibilities.
I’m so sorry for your loss of XP. It was one of the best operating systems MS ever released. I was so sad when I lost my last desktop to a rootkit virus and it couldn’t be saved.
I love the paper in the pictures you displayed this morning. I think I must have missed the day you posted them (either that or I’m terribly confused…wouldn’t be the first time). I’m getting over a horrible virus we’ve got going around here, and I was stuck in bed for a few days. (You snooze you lose? I was definitely snoozing….codeine cough syrup nearly puts me in a coma!)
Anyway, best of luck with your next computer. Having worked in IT for 10 years, I can tell you, there’s a lot of luck involved when it comes to computers.
All my best,
Trisha
Looking forward to some of the Spellbinder ‘fancies’. Will have to wait until Hobby Lobby gets them in and I can use a coupon.
Had to replace my computer last year-went from XP-which I loved-to 7 which I am still learning.
Thanks for a chance to win those pretty papers!
Still loving that Romantique paper. As far as my favorite new things from CHA; from Spellbinders my favorite has to be the Persian Accents & Persian Motifs. They are so pretty! I also like the new ribbon cutter by Imaginesce since it seals the cut so there is no more fraying.
I have a wish list of spellbinders but know I won’t be able to get all of them for quite a while. Thanks for the chance to win these papers.
Those wings of hope are amazing! And so is the Prima paper. Thanks for the info…have to find my wings!
I know how hard it is to reorganize and remove things, but there is a good feeling that follows that hard process! For me the things I have put on my must have, not just the wish list, are at least one of the new Spellbinders tuck and fold dies, the Moroccan dies and a few of TIm Holtz’s new markers!
The rest of the wonderful things will be “maybe later items”.
Hi Becca I would have to answer this in two parts….
The first would be the dream, drool extreme like and that would be the
the eclipse and TH Stamp to Cut combination but realistically it probably is only a “win the lottery” dream!
My real and can really get (over time) would be the Spellbinders dies and I love the ribbon buckles and Moroccan/Persian Motifs, sorry I cannot say just one thing…hugs and thank you for asking!
It’s easy to pick my CHA favourite and I’ve already ordered it from ODBD. It’s your clever ribbon contraption! I can’t wait to get it and make bows that might resemble yours on a very primative level. LOL.
I work on an ancient PC with Windows XP and complete understand the waiting-for-screens-to-load problem. I know the day is coming when I’ll need to retire the old clunker. I keep putting it off because we’ve been through so much together.
It is always spellbinders – all of them. I could go broke getting them all so try to limit them to newly “different.” If I have one similar I slap my hands and don’t order them. But I would have to say for this time it is the tuck and fold dies.
Spellbinders…..no contest. Picking a favorite is just impossible. Love them all. I agree with the last comment about going broke buying them. I am at 211 and counting……I do love the new edgeabilities with the inserts. There are so many possibilities!!! And you just feed the passion….:) Your designs are always fantastic, imaginative, beautiful and inspiring!!!!!!
Wow how cool is this I would love to win. the papers are so Beautiful.
Definitely its Spellbinders I love Love spellbinders I use mine all the time.. I have some and would love more. Love all of the new ones but my fav. is the Moroccan/ Persian Motif.
thanks for the chance to win this very Beautiful Paper.
The Spellbinder Dress Forms are at the top of my wishlist. Anxious to see the Tattered Angels Baseboards too. Teresa Collins’ Spring Fling and Jillibean Soup Southern Chicken Dumpling Soup are my paper picks.
I hate having to get a new computer. I have to assume that you managed to buy another one, knowing that yours were ‘on the blink’ & you didn’t lose any of your valuable data with the ‘violent death’ of your PC. That one ain’t nice! There was always the odd thing that never got backed up….. Well, I am in the UK, so will have to wait a while longer for the Spellbinder’s release here. I have my eye on several of them. LOL. I need deeper pockets….LOL
Hi Becca,
Sorry about your computer issues…we have all had them and they are the pits when we have to finally do something about it!!!
Of course I must say Spellbinders new releases and there are so many this time that I will just list the first that made my heart go pitty pat – Romantic Rectangles!
Hugs,
Beth P
2nd runner up on my wish list is to try the Tim Holtz Distress markers
Love the new spellbinder tuck and fold collectiont he best!
I would love a chance to win. My favorite things from the CHA Release is probably all of the Tim Holtz stuff, Prima papers and flowers and always Spellbinders.
Thank goodness it was just a computer! You had me worried with that title. I am in love with some of the new Spellbinders. I’ve decided I will never be able to even get close to getting all the ones I want because every time I start to get close another new batch comes out.
Everything is wonderful BUT Spellbinders are for me!! I just love them ALL!!
Spellbinders!!! Just when I think I have enough they come up with new ones that I NEED.
Maria V.
I love the paper. I don’t know how you always have such lovely paper. I would love to know whose cardstock you use or at least what weight you prefer. And about you you ‘inventions’, you go for it girl. Don’t ever apologze for being talented and sharing that talent. Especially when it is going to make our lives easier. It is a blessing to you, and an even bigger blessing to us. Proud of you.
I am loving the Spellbinder’s new Wings of Hope, the Moroccan and Persian dies cuts and Tim Holtz’s new Eclipse from CHA. We can always dream-right?? Thanks for an opportunity to win some of your gorgeous paper.
I would like romantic rectangles and marocain spellbinders.
Thanks for the pretty papers
Francine M.
I think my favorite CHA release is the Spellbinders cut and tuck dies. These are pretty and versatile, as you demonstrated. Thanks for the opportunity to win these pretty papers.
Yes, moving to a new computer can be quite traumatic. As for enabling…Becca, shame on you! HA…you are one of my worst (or best) enablers. Just when I think I don’t really need or want a certain die or stamp, you use it in such a gorgeous creative way that it zooms right back onto the list. Of course I’ll have to live till I’m a hundred AND win the lottery to ever get to the end of the list, but it’s there! This last Spellbinders release I like the Persian sets. I’d love to help you out with finding a loving home for some of your extra Prima papers.
R/
Becca,
Thank you for your generous jesture in offering the opportunity to win some very beautiful papers. I love the new Spellbinder dies and the Sizzix and Hero Arts stamp and cut products. I am starting to save my pennies-LOL
Joanne
Such pretty papers that you are offering. Thanks so much.
I have to say that the wish list from the CHA new releases is quite lengthy and near the top would be ; any of the new accents or motif dies from spellbinders, any of the new cut/fold/tuck dies from spellbinders, any of the new M-bossibilities and finally the new Tim Holtz Distress Markers.
Thanks for offering the paper blog candy. Changing computers is such a hassle, but worth it in the end. I love the new Our Daily Bread Designs stamp sets. Making a list and checking it twice to see which ones I want!
i am a new follower to your blog & i absolutely love your work. thanks for the opportunity ti win such beautiful papers. my favorite new offerings are the tim holtz items. i’m a vintage kind of girl & i like all of his products.
Thank you for the chance to win. My favorite are the spellbinders Persian and Moroccan accents…and everything they put out lol
Hi Becca, I liked the new double sided embossing folders from Spellbinders, they were all nice. Thanks for another chance to win.
Good Grief!!! I’ve been so busy, I’ve missed 2 days of this. So I guess my first pick is Spellbinders new dies. I can’t pick a favorite one. But I do need to build up my stash.
Another day, another chance to win some of these gorgeous papers here, that you so kindly has offered us again sweet lady. I just love them.
I’m back again for my 2nd chance to win these beautifuls. I was excited to see Tim Holtz Sizzix Filters for embossing folders. Many have shown, and maybe you did too, how to do this process with cardboard. I’m eager to hear how it really works.
Technology…is wonderful, but can drive you crazy.
Hi Becca,
So many fun new releases..we are so blessed to have such variety and inspiration available to us! I loved Spellbinders new Wings of Hope die set and their new M-Bossibilities folders look intriguing. Of course, I look forward to seeing your beautiful creations with any of the new products. Thank you for sharing your time and talent!
Oooh! the Spellbinders Crosses. Love them :o)
Hugs
Anne x
Haven’t seen much of the CHA stuff yet, but I was already interested in the SB edgeabilities, so the new decorative inserts have my attention.
ooo, this paper is so lovely.
My wish list from CHA peeks:
Spellbinders: Moroccan Motifs, Bitty Blossoms, Romantic Rectangles, many of the m-bossabilities folders.
Graphic 45 beauties including Little Darlings Paper
Kaisercraft Charlotte’s Dream paper
I am sure my list will grow as I see more of these new releases used.
Wow Becca there were so many great new releases… I think my favorite one was a Spellbinder…Antique Frames and Accents! I LOVE this set…. I can’t wait to get it. But there are several other ones as well, such as the jewel keys… Can’t wait!!! OH, and thank you so much for the opportunity to win such fabulous paper and for the wonderful creations you share with us all the time! I also hope you exceed your expectations with your projects you are marketing!!
I’m really loving the Aster Flower topper and Wings of Hope….can’t wait to try these…..thank you for a chance to win these goodies….
While I LOVE the new Spellbinders, I am more intrigued by the Sizzix Pop and Cuts that make doing a pop-up card easier. I really want to take my cards to that ‘ultimate’ level when it comes to 3D.
Know what you mean about your computer, I am going through the same process. I’ll be very glad when it’s done. Hang in there, Becca. You’ll be so thankful when you’re all done and can move on to something else.
I love all the new Spellbinders. I love the cut/emboss look on cards and hope to get a few of the new ones.
I know how much work it is when an old computer finally gives up the ghost. You will be amazed and pleased how well the new computer works though. It will be like driving a race car.
Thanks for another opportunity to win some fun candy. You are one of the most generous people on the web with blog candy.
Wow Becca, it’s great that you are so computer literate – both with software and hardware! I am definitely going to order some of the new Spellbinders. There is always something I “need” whenever Spellbinder releases new dies. Thank you for the chance to win!
i would like to add some qilling to my cards.
Got my eye on some of the Cheery Lynn dies this year — I’d could very easily be a die-aholic! LOL!!!
Another thing that I just loved from CHA: The punches from We R Memory Keepers, I think they were called Great 8? That punch around the page. Love those!
I know I want to get some of the cut, tuck and fold spellbinders. Glad to hear that you have your new computer set up.
A new computer is so exciting. I upgraded last fall and have Windows 7 now. I still have things on my XP that I have not brought over to my new one. The program I use for making tea bag tiles does not play with Windows 7, so I will keep my old computer just for that purpose. I do not want to learn a new way at this point.
All things Spellbinder are on my list of must haves and wants.
These papers are absolutely beautiful! I think my favorite booth was the G45 booth, love thier new papers! I also like a lot of the Cheery Lynn dies as well. Actually everyone had a little something I would I wouldn’t mind having ;) I am sure you know the feeling. Congrats on the new puter! I know I should do the same thing. Mine is so slow any more I can brew a pot of tea while I wait for something to load up, it’s crazy how we hold on. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. Now I need to get to the doing. Blessings!
Think like most others I’d have to say anything by Spellbinders – have only just gotten into these and really can’t get enough of them, but can’t afford to buy any :(, But also watched the vid with Tim Holtz and fallen in love with his new distress markers as the concept is new to me in every sense, so lots there to learn about for playing with :).
And finally any paper as I’m a paper addict LOL!
On computer things – I’m a geek with them, absolutely love everything PC orientated & LOVE, LOVE Win 7. Streets ahead of XP (which I still have as a backup), & provides me with a very stable and fast system, plus has plenty of tweaks, gadgets & other things like the ability to have a fluid dynamic desktop appeal to my childish side lol :). Enjoy!!
I love the Spellbinders dies, Becca. It is difficult to pick a favorite because I tend to like any that I don’t have! LOL The butterfly is very pretty in the new die set, that’s for sure! I love how you share so many things with those of u who are still learning. I think that probably includes all of us! I’m so excited to have a little opportunity to win something. Thanks!!!
I love Spellbinders. They add a totally new and exciting diminson to card making. The ability to create a lot a layers with such intricate shapes is wonderful. Love Love Love!
So many wonderful new releases at CHA. I love the new Morrocon dies from Spellbinders (among other things!)
I would love some of the new papers by Basic Grey. They are my all-time favorite paper company.
I had to recently say good by to Windows XP also! Oh well, life goes on, but I can scream and kick if I want to! LOL On the top of my list are the Spellbinders Persian Collections. Oh I would LOVE to give your Prima a home.
I think the top would have to be Tim’s new distress markers.
I just saw Jillibean Soup’s Coconut Lime Soup Collection on a blog – this looks great, a lot of food images and canning jars! I can only imagine what CHA is like, living in Australia, I don’t think we have anything even half the size!
[…] Crafty smooches!! Oh, don’t forget I have blog candy going on for Prima Printery and Romantique paper – here’s the link if you want to participate – https://www.amazingpapergrace.com/goodbye-dear-old-friend/ […]
I love all the new Spellbinders. I use their dies all the time on my cards.
And we´re here again, as I just cross my fingers, that I´ll be lucky this time LOL. I just adore these gorgeous papers, but can´t get them here anywhere LOL.
Wow! Becca, so sorry about the old pc, but from what I gather you are much happier with the new child on the block! It must be so much better taking 5 minutes, as opposed to 40 to get photos loaded! Love that gorgeous paper too! Of course my favs are the new Spellbinders dies….always! I am so hooked on them, that I like to just take them out and play with them!! LOL! Hugs Lori R.
Thank you for all the inspiration you share! At the top of my CHA release list are Tim Holtz’ Distress Ink pens.
Oh oh I so love these papers! I’ve ordered the Romanric Rectangles so now the top of my list are the Persian Motifs/Accents.
Goodness, choosing a favourite out of the entire CHA show is difficult, but at least I have five tries at this, right? For today I’ll say Tim Holtz’s new distress markers. I thought the were one of the coolest things I’d ever seen! More tomorrow though…:)
Thanks for the chance to win…
Several of the new spellbinders’ have made it to the top of my list. Loved your pink card today.
Spellbinders are always on my list! I love the dress forms but I would take any and all if I could. I absolutely LOVE your pink feminine card today…it’s just as lovely as can be…as always!!
ALL the new Spellbinders!!! I can’t pick just one — I want them ALL!!! Okay, okay! If I have to pick just one, it’s the Persian Motifs/Accents. But seriously — I want every single one of the new Spellbinders dies!! I can dream, can’t I!!
Hi Becca
I have just a few spellbinders & love using them in my cards.
I love the new ones & lean towards the Victorian, lacey layers.
You always tantalize me with your wonderful creations.
Bonnie
I too love all the new Spellbinder dies released at CHA. But my all time favorite is that Prima Romantique paper your giving away as blog candy Becca. I’m a big fan of anything with roses and that paper is just breathtakingly gorgeous. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Hope everyone’s week is full of joyful blessings :)

tammy
I will have to have the antique frame and accents from spellbinders. Lovely card you did today using these dies.
I think my 2nd most wanted are the new edgeabilites/inserts. I finally started playing with the ones I have – LOVE!
Becca, I love this pink card. Speelbinders is one of my favorite items to use. I love all the lacey ones. I had my 9 year old grandson here & we used spillbinders to help him make a poster. He like them as much as I do.
Vicky
I forgot to leave a comment on Saturday, so here I am today. Love your very femmie birthday card! Wish I had all those nesties to play with. Someday I’ll have more…never will have them all, they just keep releasing more and more that I love!
I’m glad I have time to get back to your wonderful creative genius!
I love the new spellbinders!
Love the new Spellbinders. I really like the spiral flower one!
Spellbinders are always at the top of my list!!
I love the new Spell binders that look like lace. I’m going to be looking for those to appear in my LSS.
Linda in SC
You are so generous Becca. I think I have a long list… I loved Donna Salazar’s new dies (the words are just awesome) and Tim Holtz outdid himself again! :o)
You just make me crazy with spellbinders. I would like some new one.
Romantics rectangles,
I think the Spellbinders Persian Motifs (and all the rest of the Spellbinders) are wonderful…haven’t had a chance to see all of the other CHA goodies, but hope to real soon. Thanks for the opportunity to win….
Hi, Becca. Oh, my goodness…. Spellbinders just keeps on “doing it right”!!!! I have quite a few dies BUT I would like to have everyone of them used on your Pink Birthday Wishes card. How gorgeous and feminine and soft and intricate and clean…I could go on and on. Loooove it!
There are way too many new items from CHA that I would like to have, but the Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles, Floral Ovals and Labels 25 are at the top of the list. As always, thank you so much Becca for sharing your wonderful talent AND your beautiful spirit. Thank you as well for the opportunity to win.
Hi Becca,
One of my fav Spellbinders new dies are the Layered Flowers. They can add such an elegant, simple embellishment. Thanks for offering such beautiful paper as blog candy. I am so glad that I discovered your blog last year…you have truly been an inspiration in so many ways…not just for crafts.

I’ve been excited about the Distress Ink Markers that were introduced at CHA. Have often thought how handy it would be to have markers to match the inks.
Becca, I think my favorite would be the classic frames….love them and love what you did with them. Millie
Love the Persian and Damask Accents but love them all, wish I could afford them all.
Love your generosity. Love your sharing! Love your creativity!
Everytime I look at one of your cards I wish I had at least one of the things you used. But neccessity is the mother of invention and I usually manage to make something work. Thanks for all the seeds of inspiration.
Another favorite at CHA was Doodlebug Designs. I just love all their bright colors!
Love the new ODBD stamp sets. Thanks for sharing your bounty!
Wow Becca! I just love the new Graphic 45 Little Darlings papers.Thank you for the inspiration you freely give to us all,and a big thank you for your generosity.
Hugs Lilian Xx.
Wow, how did I miss this post last week?? Don’t tell me all of my notices are not being delivered. I look at your blog every time I get a notice of a new post! But, on to the blog candy! LOL!! One of the top new CHA products on my list is the new Memento ink colors. I know I’ll “need” them all! LOL!! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Really loved the Spellbinders cross set, that is an absolute necessity ;)!
Definately adding romantic rectangles to my list. Love your card.
Definitely the new Spellbinders!!! I have 7 sets that are a “must have now” and then I will be purchasing others later. :) Can’t ever get enough of Spellbinders!
Love the papers you have for the giveaway. You are always so generous!
Thank you Becca. God Bless!
I drooled over the die that you based today’s pink feminine Birthday card on…but my favorite was, of course, the largest one. It’s to big for the size card that I make most of the time! That was a problem with another of the die sets I liked. OWH prefers that most of their cards be A2 since that’s what fits the best in the boxes, and what they have envelopes for. Still lots of goodies from Spellbinders to drool over!
Hugs,

Spellbinders hands down for me. I love the new crosses in particular, but all of their new products are all on my wish list. I see how sophisticated your cards are and your “out of the box” thinking of how to use them. Inspirational as always. Thank you.
Oh Becca, Your pink and vanilla card is so gorgeous! I don’t know how you keep doing it, coming up with more and more beautiful cards. I love all the new spellbinders dies, I don’t know which one to want first. Really I want them all! But that can’t happen. You so inspire me with your magnificent projects! Oh, and thank you too for the chance to win the pretty papers. Hugs and blessings! Patty W.
Love your card today Becca. Really like the layering of the tags (for lack of a better word) over the ribbon. Along with the Persian SB dies I also liked OBDB’s new stamps too!
Next on my list is the new Gear Stamp. Love the designs and how large of a design you can make on a page.
Oh my goodness, Becca, the card is gorgeous. The subtle pink and the way you put those different dies together. Words escape me right now, except …….I love it.
BECCA YOU ARE GOING TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNERS THUR.
THATS GREAT WITH ME. I THINK THE TWO SETS OF PAPERS.ETC
ARE FANTASTIC. IT WOULB BE SO EASY TO CREATE WITH
BEAUTIFUL PAPERS ETC. AND I STILL THINK SPELLBINDERS WOULD BE CONSIDERED MY CHOICE.

Truly love your cards wish I was the recipient of one of them.
I really would like to get the Romantic Rectangles and like all the new intricate Spellbinders designs.
i would like to try my hand at stamp making. i had a friend who carved the most adorable angel and gave it to me after i was in the hospital.
I don’t know maybe I won’t bye the new markers TH and i will go for more spellbinders today you show the new floral oval and it is so pretty.
Spellbinders are so expensive. I have to reconsider my choice.
I saw something JUST TODAY, it’s by INKADINKADO—I don’t remember the name of it, but it’s spiral and you add clear stamps to it & away you stamp!!!!!!! It can be used to do backgrounds & takes ANY clear stamps!!!!! It was SOOO cool & I believe had about 17 set of stamps you could get to go with it!!!!!! HOW FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I love this beautiful card you did today, those shades go so well together and it is so rich looking. I just want to expand my spellbinder die collection, they are so useful with card making.
I would love to try one of Spellbinders Cut Fold Tuck dies. Don’t they look fabulous?! Thanks for all you do for us Becca!
Another CHA favorite for me was the M-Bossibilities. Love that they come in the larger size!
Hi Becca! Back for another day! Another of my favorite new CHA products are the new Penny Black stamps. I have really come to enjoy many of her rubber stamps and look forward to new ones coming out.
And I´m just giving it another try here again today and cross my fingers, it´ll bring me some luck LOL.
Have a wonderful day Becca and thanks again for the chance here.
The new Prima line is beautiful!
Becca, A another beautiful card. I really like the spellbinders. I like the romantic rectangles. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Hi Becca,
Two CHA favorites have caught my eye this time around. One of them are the Prima products, I am in flower heaven, I can’t wait to get my hands on anything from this season.
The second is everything Spellbinders, OMG…I don’t know where to start. My first purchase will be “Crosses Two”, Romantic Rectangle and Labels Twenty-five. I will also throw in M-Bossabilites.
along with everyone else I reall y like the T H distress ink coloured pens and the romantic rectangle and floral ovals and persion amd morrocan accent and motifs oh everything really!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SPELLBINDERS!!! Those are ALWAYS my favorite tool to use and the product I buy the most of. Thank you for using them so often on your cards. That helps inspire me to use them.
Thanks for the chance to win some goodies!
God Bless
I just saw some of the great new papers released at CHA on Moxie Fab World’s blog last night. SEI in particular had some beautiful ones with rich colours. There were a lot of collections with navy blue in them, and many floral and damask patterns. They were very striking!
After reading the comments about Tim’s new markers I had to check them out…oh WOW! Just amazing…and I have to have the White Picket Fence!!
At Christmas time I paid $4.95 for a JustRite catalog that disappointed me in that it had tons of product but not so many cards done by the DT which is what I enjoy most. So yesterday I got a 2012 Winter catalog in the mail FREE! This one is loaded with samples and is like looking at a SB catalog now that JR and SB have formed some kind of partnership. Lots to see.
I am seeing more and mor products from CHA. I saw this new Stamping Gear from Inkadinkado!. Looks very interesting! I am also loving the pretty papers from Echo Park, Teresa Collings. So many lovely prints and designs. Thanks for another fabulous give-away Becca.
Thanks for offering the blog candy. I LOVE the new ODBD stamps that were just released; they’re on my wish list!.
Love both of the prints your giving away. Thanks for the chance Becca at the drawing.
I love the look of the Spellbinder’s Cut, Fold & Tuck dies. Would love to see how they look with double sided papers.
I desperately want the new Tim Holtz distress markers so that was my fav
I would like to try one of the cut and fold dies from Spellbinders but I love all the new Spellbinder dies.
I want some of the new spellbinder dies that are just coming out in the CHA show.
Spellbinder’s are always at the top of the list! My friend and I have stated that virtually every card we make involves SB of one sort or another.
l like all the spellbinders. I would like to have the persora accents
I love every one o9f yourr cards. They are just beautiful.
Vicky
my final craft is book making and i’m not talking about the gambling kind.
Hi again Becca, I’m adding another CHA Favourite to my list and that is the new JustRite stamps – as they go hand in glove with some of the Spellbinder dies it just adds to my reasons for liking them so much!
Cut and fold spellbinders for me!
Thanks for the chance to win.
I am adding another CHA fave Becca, a thing from EK success called a Stamping Gear by Inkadinkado that allows you to stamp repeated images in a circle or oval shape. A little like “spirograph” for stampers!
Anotther day and another try here, hope you´ll have a wonderful week-end ahead Becca and thanks again so much for the chance to win these wonderful papers here.
I still want the cut tuck and fold spellbinders. Thanks for offering these lovely papers.
Thank you again Becca for your generosity! I’ve been seeing these new background stamps from Hero Arts/Studio Calico… they look awesome! I also love the new spellbinders dies with sewing items (can’t remember the name of the set, even though I just saw it).
I love, love, love all the new Spellbinders!!!! Thanks for the chance to win such beautiful paper.
It must be exciting to go to CHA and see all the new stuff in person but I would be crying that I couldn’t bring it all home with me so it’s probably wise I can’t go. lol
I am so fascinated with the cool tools in the videos taken at the show. The MS board looks amazing, the Inkadinkado stamp wheel and the papers and embellishments are awesome enough to make a person dizzy.
I recently watched the video of Tims new pet project, THE Eclipse, maybe for xmas of next year!!! i JUST LOVE
Something happened and I did not get to finish my post, I was saying that I just love the concept of the eclipse and all it can do, but do i want another machine? And the vote is still out.
Still love all my spellbinders best.
Love and hugs
Donna
