Today’s giveaway is all about orangy-reds.

This is another item I’ve just removed from the site. But there are 2 sets left, so today’s Giveaway will have a first-runner up (who’ll receive this set of stickers, plus a Red Pepper Paint Dabber and a Phrenology Card).
The next 3 items are not in the giveaway, but related and on Sale!

I’m thoroughly addicted to your site. Actually, I just wrote about Alpha Stamps on my blog the other day. Check it out:

Such cheerful colors to liven up a stark winter! The beautiful koi cards remind me of our own koi, now living way down at the bottom of our fishpond. I won’t see them again until we have a spring thaw!

I am brand new to scrapbooking. Everything this site has looks fantastic! I’m very anxious to start my first scrapbook and this would fit in great!
What a colorful mix of goodies! Great giveaway. donnellrs@embarqmail.com
I love this color combination. This is really a thoughtful and wonderful idea. Thank you.
I am a miniaturist, still need to write something here about me in my profile. My miniatures (1:12th scale) are completely furnished cabinets, furniture, tables, and hutches. And, you know, sometimes it is hard to come up with a new color combo.
Plus, I make my items for the furniture from found objects so this is really so neat.
I love your blog. I think those Eiffel Tower cut outs are nifty, just to name one item.
Thanks for doing this. It is really great of you, plus it is fun.
Don’t stay up too late. Ha!
