It is the third week of my month long birthday celebration and I am giving away gifts to YOU my friends and followers! I feel so very blessed, I have so much to be thankful for and want to share. I will be posting a new giveaway on July 18, and 25, the winners will be posted on July 24, and 31. Each week I will be giving away a $10 gift card to Simon Says Stamp...whoop, whoop...let's party, shall we? I realized I did not share either week what my favorites are.....from week one, my favorite color combo is anything with aqua/blue green/teal, I really luv it paired with black. My favorite card to create is anything specific for a certain person. I also luv making cards with hearts.
This week leave a comment and share with me a new creating toy that you have to have or have already gotten. I have several.....I want the Misit, Big Shot Plus, and a Canon Rebel. I have gotten the entire collection of Zig Clean Color Markers and the add ons....I luv them! add a little glimmer to your life....sparkle & shine!
I received a MISTI for Mother's Day, and it is incredible! Don't know what I did without it! On my wish list right now are stitched rectangle dies.
ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy Birthday, Teresa!
Happy birthday month again! I really want to get my hands on those Clean Color Pens. Can't wait to see your projects using them! I am torn about the Fuse. Thinking I'll just use my sewing machine instead for now.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have a Misti. Hope it's been a wonderful BD month so far, Teresa!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday month. My hubby got me some Copics for Christmas so I am slowly adding colors. Really love coloring with them.
ReplyDeleteI have & really like the MISTI. Bought it early on when a friend told me about it. I've used it instead of using blocks and now want more stamps to be clear or rubber backed instead of wood rubber. I have a Sizzix BIGkick. Had one for many yrs and early this yr the handle broke so I bought a replacement. Not sure what the Bigshot Plus is. Had bought the Spellbinder Caliber and returned it since I did not want to get into the larger dies and the price of it was too much even on sale. I enjoy photography. I have had & like Canon cameras. My hubby bought me my first digital camera. I have had several versions of the Canon Rebel. Had the first one & on up to the T2i. I traded in 2 of them for the T3i that I currently have. I also recently bought a new Canon point & shoot SX520 and gave my former point & shoot Canon to my daughter.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giveaway chances.

Happy Birthday and thanks for such an awesome giveaway.
ReplyDeleteA Cricut would be wonderful, but is way outside my budget, so I'll stick with my BigShot and some new Dies and Embossing Folders from time to time. I got the Bigshot for christmas 2 years ago I think and it's my most used tool by far.
My crafting budget is going into new copics and distress inks lately. Maybe some new watercolors. I have my eye on the kuretake gansai tambi and the Peerless. :)
I had to giggle as my answers were very similar to yours - card for a specific person and hearts on a card. I would love a Big Shot. My Cuttlebug is seven plus years old and I would love to upgrade to the big shot. Happy Birthday month to you :) <3
ReplyDeleteI have a 24 box of the Zig markers (LOVE them!), and I have a Misti, which I don't think I could live without now that I have one and have seen what it can do. One thing I'm really wanting is a Fuse tool to make those cute shaker pockets I've been seeing on cards lately :)
ReplyDeleteI've recently gotten a MISTI and a Fuse and I love them both! They are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe Zig markers are on my wish list; sure would love to play with them. Happy Birthday, Teresa!!
ReplyDeleteME TOO! I just saw the Misti demonstrated today and it is now on my WishList! I have all the Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and several of the refills ... now I want/need all the remaining refills. Thanks again for a fun birthday challenge idea! HUGS and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTH!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Teresa! I do own the MISTI and don't know what I did without it! I just got several new stamp sets from SU and some coordinating dies. Every time I tell myself I am not going to buy anymore, something new, bigger and better comes out! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteI just purchase the Misti a few weeks ago, but have been so busy I've only been able to use it a few times. I did love using it, and can't wait for some more play time! Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday month.....on my wish list is the remaining NEW colors of dye ink from SSS. I'll also need another 60 slot Organize More unit for the new inks.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and wishing you the best all year long! I just got the fuse that I've been wanting for so long and excited to try it out and play with all the different things you can do with this. Again, Happy birthday and have fun. So sweet of you to host this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Theresa - new equipment I wish !!!!!!, mmmm well I actually had to google what a MISTI was - well it looks amazing and pretty handy, but at the moment my budget has just allowed me to accumulate slowly nearly all of TH Distress Inks - I love them. But really my good old pigment inks could do with replacing, I still use them but they are a ragged and less vibrant - well they are +6 years old. There are a few Australian themed dies just come on the market and I wouldn't mind a couple of them. Well whatever day your birthday is Theresa, hope you have a most fabulous day, get spoilt and maybe you'll let us know if you got a new piece of equipment.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday month! I recently purchased the Misti and eagerly want to play with my new toy!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have some of those Zig Water colour pens, they look amazing and can't wait to see what you do with them. I'm not sure about a Misti, would never be able to afford one but they sure look handy. And I shake a lot when stamping so it would stop me from mucking up my stamps all the time!!
ReplyDeleteI just got the Zig Clean Color markers and I absolutely love them. Everybody is getting a water color card for the next I don't know how long.
ReplyDeleteWell first, happy birthday to you! I'm turning 50 on the 23rd of July. I'm hoping to get back home in time to post a B-Day giveaway also. The crafting toy I'm currently seeking is a new digital camera, but I'm being patient until I know what to get. Thanks for a fun giveaway, and please know you and your art are always a blessing to me, and I hope your bday is a blessed one!

A Misti is at the top of my wish list. I like it more and more each time I see someone using one.
ReplyDeleteLots of toys are in my wish list! =)
ReplyDeleteBut I would want Misti, too!

my new toys this spring have been the big daddy adhesive foam roll for make shakers and texture paste and stencils. I am mad about both now!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, another giveaway! Yay! Happy Birthday to you! As for new tools, like you, I really want the MISTI! I have suggested to hubby that I would love to have it for my birthday this year. He then asked to see what the "most incredible stamping tool invented" is, so I proceeded to show him some video tutorials LOL. I was surprised he took such an interest! He thinks it looks pretty good and he has agreed that it will make a great birthday gift - woohoo! Now I just have to wait until October! Hope you get everything on your wish list, Teresa, and I hope you are having a great birthday month! Thank you for all the giveaways!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. The toy I have is the quilt cutter...can't think of the real name for it, but it cuts quilt blocks...anyway I 've had it over 2 years and have yet to open it and use it. Sad.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday month, Teresa! Thanks for sharing it with us. Currently, I'm wanting a small laminating machine so I can do foiling. Love that sparkle and shine!
ReplyDeleteOh I would like the zig clean markers! Can't wait to see what you make with them!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I don't know where to begin on what is on my wish list! :) I love Copic Markers...could definitely use more of them!
ReplyDeleteSo fun celebrating with you Teresa. Happy birthday month. I just got Brusho dried paint. So cool and fun the way they burst. I also got a few Zig watercolor markers to try.
ReplyDeleteI am dying to have a MISTI and will probably purchase one as a birthday present for myself. ;) All the cool people have their birthdays in July. ;)
ReplyDeleteI recently purchased a set of Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors and I love them! sending you more birthday month wishes!!
ReplyDeleteMy newest tool that I love is the Zutter Bow-it-all 2.0!! I am so terrible and doing bows, I think partially because I am left handed and video tutorials are always by right handed people so I get so turned around trying to follow! lol! But I have this Zutter thing figured out and it's so easy! Now I just need some more ribbon... lol
ReplyDeleteWhere to start? A Big Shot would be a nice gift to me from some one - I have seen those in action and like them - I own 2 Cuttlebugs - and one of those I won after I had purchased one - but that is OK as I hear they do not last forever - so far I am still using all of my plates even though they are not looking so good - but they work for me! Happy Birthday month to you! Enjoy each day - life is a gift that is why they call it the present!
ReplyDeleteI Just ordered a 70 set alcohol ink markers. I am excited to finally have these. All these years I have had five copic markers and that was it. I also purchased a lot of clear screens for shaker cards! who doesn't want a shaker card? LOL! I also just got a monthly subscription to circuit craft room with over 30,000 images to play with!!! I would still love so many things though. I need a new sizzix press and die cut! I have the original and the adapter. You know the huge red one with a ginormous handle. Its like the dinosaur of sizzix!!!!
ReplyDeleteI so am hoping to get a Cricut/Silhouette and a stash of Copic colors. Already hinting this to my hubby for Christmas. Much love to you for your entire Birthday Month.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Theresa! Thank you for inviting me over to help celebrate your birthday month. I think the best thing I have ever bought is my cuttlebug and as I love my Distress Inks so much...I have decided that I NEED some...aka all of the Distress markers!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday month! thanks for the invite! I'm wishing those watercolor brush markers that are all the rage right now end up in my craft room soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Month!! I have my eye on the Zig markers but want to see them in real life before I hit the "buy" button.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday month....mine is next month but I think I am giving up celebrating birthdays anymore!! I just recently bought my first bunch of Copics and am learning how to use them. I do like coloring with them....it is relaxing after a hard day at work.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely ADORE and HAVE to have my Copic markers!! At first, I thought I didn't need them, but now I can't live without them!! I only bought a few at first, but then I recently realized I need them ALL!!! LOL! I'll get there eventually. Happy Birthday month!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Teresa! Great idea to celebrate the whole month, maybe I would try it next year. A Misti would make me happy, some good classes on Copic, I love to color and for some reason I'm not comfortable using them. :(
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Teresa! Thank tou for your sweet comment and for inviting me over here! Your blog is fab!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting the Zig Clear brush pens for some time now and with a pay day approaching I might treat myself to a set ;) I got a few TCW one of which I used on the messy yellow file journal you commented on earlier on.. They are gorgeous! I'm definitely goinng to create some more with them.
I hope you have a fab birthday month and may your birthday wish come true!
