BetterScrap October Prize Offerings

It has happened yet again!  We have so many WONDERFUL prizes to give away this month, we had to list them in a post of their own! We have an unbelievable selection of goodies to give away this month.  What do you have to do to win them?  Simply participate in all four of our October challenges (instructions on how to enter are located at the end of each weekly challenge post.)  So without further ado…

Daylight™ Company

We have an absolutely incredible prize to give away from Daylight™ Company!

Love colors just the way they are. Daylight™ technology not only reduces eye-strain; it gives you the best colour matching ever. With full spectrum Daylight™ technology, your eyes will still be fresh at the end of the day! No headaches, no red-eyes, working under Daylight™ becomes as relaxing and natural as a walk in the park. All Daylight™ bulbs and tubes use 80% less energy. When you work with your lamp, you reduce your electricity bill and do your bit for the planet.

Daylight’s™ popular portable lamp now comes with an ingenious Easy-Twist™ shade for maximum light angle & maximum work space! The ‘Easy Twist’ shade has been designed by Daylight™ to give you the ultimate spread of light across the whole of your work area. This means you can achieve the best colour matching ever with the sensational light delivered by Daylight’s™ 13w energy saving tube. The lamp itself is lightweight and designed to fold neatly away, making it very easy to transport. Now for the technical bit – this top lamp boasts even more practical features, all designed to make sure you craft in comfort. The lamps detachable base makes it extremely stable and with Daylight™ technology there is absolutely no strobe effect so eyestrain is reduced and potential headaches are eliminated.

BetterScrap September Prize Offerings

Yep, that’s right.  We have so many prizes to give away this month, they needed their own post! We have a veritable treasure chest of goodies up for grabs this month.  What do you have to do to win them?  Simply participate in all four of our September challenges (instructions on how to enter are located at the end of each weekly challenge post.)  So without further ado…

Graphic 45

Our design team sponsor for the month of September is Graphic 45.  Since their inception just a few short years ago, Graphic 45 has enjoyed phenomenal growth and popularity within the scrapbooking community.  With their unique and innovative lines mirroring the designs and patterns of bygone days, Graphic 45 embraces and encourages the love of all things vintage and heritage.

Our designers were excited to receive Graphic 45 products to use on all their projects for the month of September, so be sure to look for glimpses of these fabulous papers during our challenge reveals for the next four weeks.

To encourage Better Living Through Scrapbooking, Graphic 45 is giving away a 12×12 paper pad of their brand new line, Christmas Past.  These papers have just started to ship to stores after debuting at the CHA summer show, and you could be one of the first to get your hands on them!

This paper pad includes two each of the 14 double-sided papers in the collection, one of each double-sided die-cuts tags and borders. To see the individual paper designs included in this paper pad, check the Christmas Past collection page at the Graphic 45 web site.

Quick Snippers™

One lucky winner will be the recipient of the Quick Snippers™ tool.  We discovered this brand-new tool at CHA last month and just fell in love with them!  There are SIX crafting scissors tucked away in this pocket-sized tool (see the image below for the scissor edge designs). The Quick Snippers™ are well made, and include solid metal blades that can withstand some pretty tough crafting and cutting projects, all while fitting easily into your pocket, tote, or caddy.

From the Quick Snippers website:  Quick Snippers™ is an innovative, new product from LIMIRI LLC that transforms and combines 6 popular design scissors into 1 tool for the on-the-go artist. Offering convenience, portability, organization, storage and ease, Quick Snippers is a valuable inclusion in every craft kit. Plus, it’s fun and easy to use. Creative cutting combinations are quickly at the tips of your fingers…or, more accurately, thumbs! Quick Snippers will allow every scrapbooker, card maker, crafter, designer and stylist to take art making to a new level.

Colson’s Tool Tots from Ey’m2Cute

And speaking of tools, what little boy doesn’t love to build with blocks and legos, and pretend to use all those “big-boy” tools that he sees in his dad or grandpa’s toolbox?  If you have a “little helper” in your house, then this adorable and fun line of scrapbooking papers and embellishments from Eye’m2cute is for you!

This prize pack from Colson’s Tool Tots/Eye’m2cute includes ten sheets of 12×12 patterned cardstock-weight papers in vibrant colors, a pad of matching 6×6 papers, a sheet of cardstock stickers, matching paper-pieced die-cuts, and a pack of coordinated buttons!

I know you want the chance to win some of these scrap-a-licious products, so what are you waiting for?  Go check out our first September scrapbook challenge!  ;)
