How’s My Hair Giveaway!
Filed under Giveaways, Kits, Marie Antoinette
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list of items that are still available on the new site.
This kit is based on a beautiful, little accordion-fold book that Design Team Member Laura Carson made using the new How’s My Hair? Rubber Stamp Set.
And Laura recently created a tutorial for the book.
You could put together this kit to make a little accordion book like Laura’s (with lots of components to spare), or use them on other French-themed projects. Note: finished sample not included in the kit!
And if you’d like to buy more of the parts from this kit (or additional ones Laura used in the 3(!) books she made with the frames from the Rectangular Fleur de Lis Frames), here’s a link to all the separate components.
Read more about what’s in the kit on the How’s My Hair Kit page.
Back to this Giveaway and how it works: One of these lovely kits will be awarded to a lucky person chosen by random number drawing.
To enter the Giveaway drawing all you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post (don’t forget to leave your email address, too, so I can contact the winner; note, your email address does not need to be made public). (I’m even including free shipping… though only in the U.S.A.)
After 12:01 a.m. on Monday morning, February 6, 2012, I’ll randomly pick the winner (you have until Sunday night at midnight, February 5, 2012 to enter).
So leave me a comment and tell your friends!

What a great little kit and great project. Thanks Laura for sharing and thank you Leslie for putting such a fun kit together!
I used the idea and images with my high school special ed. social studies class on Friday. We were discussing cultural styles and the pressure to meet those images – even if they were ridiculous or dangerous. We got quite a laugh over the stamp and it was a lot of fun. I’d really like to win and be able to take it to class.
