Have you been checking out Fiskars Summer School? I hope you like it – I’ve been putting in mega hours (behind scenes) getting the designer projects together & getting them up on the site each Tues & Thurs. I have to say – my little ‘what if we…’ thought about doing it has really turned out better than I anticipated! I *love* what all the ladies are bringing to the table AND seeing how crafters take the ideas and make them into their own creations.
Why bring it up now? I’m taking part as a ‘teacher’ as well, and today you can check out my projects here: http://www.fiskarscrafts.com/projects/t_pagesforsummer.aspx
First- it should come as no surprise that I share a cardstock-only layout. I’ve been loving on those so much I made a whole project now class for Big Picture (that should open ANY DAY!) Oh, and I didn’t even realize it until after I was done, but my sketch that I use is totally a ‘recipe’ I use in scrapbooking this summer!! In case you’re wondering about what my Recipes for Scrapbook Success is going to be like just know I’ll be sharing a post all about it SOON.
In the meantime I promised a give-away and here it is. A fan-tabulous Fiskars portable rotary trimmer (I’ll even throw in some spare blades!), a L star squeeze punch, a 3-pack of Fiskars adhesive, and a border punch of your choice (boundary waters or apron lace). Want more? Odds are there will be some surprise goodies too! (THANK YOU FISKARS for letting me give away fun stuff!!)
Just leave a comment here to be entered – I’ll draw a winner on the 29th!
You always have such great LO’s, May. I really enjoy seeing them. That is a wonderful bunch of goodies too! Very generous!!
As always, you (and Fiskars) completely ROCK!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
I love your layouts, and I love the summer school (even though its winter over here in NZ lol).
I am getting so much inspiration from the projects.
Thanks May and Fiskars for all that you do for crafters around the world.
Seeing your summer school layouts is getting me excited for the recipes class!! Cannot wait!
Oh, oh, oh…PLEASE pick me. I just recently bought my first squeeze punches and I (and my kids) are in LOVE!!! And I’d love to add another border punch to my lonely (but well used) Threading Water border punch!
That is a ton of stuff girl, I am all about the cardstock only LO’s too.
THANK YOU FISKARS for letting YOU give away fun stuff!! Teehee! They sure are generous, aren’t they? So are you, May, always having great giveaways.
I’d love to win! Duh.
Love summer school and would love the giveaway!! Thanks
Totally can’t wait for your Recipes class! But WOW–what a FABULOUS giveaway! Fingers crossed……..
Wow – fun giveaway! I’ve often said I could live in a world without cardstock (I’m such a patterned paper girl), but maybe your Projects NOW class will convince me otherwise!
loving the summer school. I have gotten som great projects for my girls in 4-H this summer. Also love cardstock only layouts that is almost all I do. Would love to win a border punch as I don’t have one and have never used one. Oh the horrors.
What great products and all in one giveaway! Cool! I could really use a border punch as I don’t have one, just have some deco scissors. And love your recipes. They’ve helped me get my creative juices flowing. Took your Recipes class last year and loved it!
I’m loving the cardstock only layouts too. Thanks for some more inspiration…and the chance to win!
I enjoyed looking at the Fiskar’s page and reading your how to about the page layout. Would love to win.

Your summer school layout is great – simple and budget friendly. And I love to sew on layouts. Thanks for the chance at a giveaway!
I’m totally digging the summer school sessions. I’ve goten so many creative ideas. I also have been using many of your scrapbook recipes as I took one of your past classes on BPS. And I can’t wait to check out your new projects now class on cardstock. One of my personal favorites is a layout I did for my son’s 6th birthday which was all cardstock.

Love your recipes May, and use them a lot since the BPS class last year. Thanks for another one to add! I really like the ‘cardstock only’ approach – economical and keeps the focus on the photos and story.
Wow I only just saw this , my daughter sent me an email about your lessons and I was just checking out your blog. And yes I think this Fiskars cutter would be very happy here, if not a little lonely , because I haven’t got any! But this could be the bebinning of a love affair with Fiskars products!!!
Great giveaway. Thanks Fiskars and May for your generosity.
