Freebie Friday RAK & Chocolate Delight Card - 2S4Y

With all of the crazy "busy-ness" this month, it's been so refreshing to have the time to be able to create a little each day!  Here's another card that I created using K & Company's Cut and Paste collection and this week's sketch by Kazan at 2 Sketches 4 You:

Chocolate Delight Card
Cardstock: Stampin' Up
Patterned papers: Graphic 45, K & Company
Border punch: Martha Stewart
Flower punch: EK Success
Flowers, pearls: Michael's
Rhinestones: Prima
Other: vintage dictionary page and lace, button, heart doily

I have been on a shabby/frilly/bling-y mood this week with all of the projects that I've been creating that I thought I would share some of the same items that I've enjoyed playing with this week. Since it's the first Friday of the month, that means it's Freebie Friday here on my blog! 

I want to thank you all for visiting today, and I hope that you will enjoy seeing this month's RAK:

 

 

You've seen a few projects that I've created with some of the pretty K & Company Cut and Paste patterned papers this week, and I wanted to share some of them with you along with a few clear gift boxes that can be altered and embellished (and filled with treats...that's my favorite part! LOL!).  The lucky winner will also be treated with a scallop circle chipboard mini album, a length of lace, some pretty Prima flowers and crystal swirls, and some Spring/Easter tags, journaling tags, and journaling notebook pages from Making Memories. There's also a couple of glittered chipboard words included in this RAK as well.

If you would like to have your name added to the drawing, simply leave a comment today telling me your favorite line of patterned papers and why they're your favorite. If you can add a link to a sample of the papers as well, that would be great (I'm very visual, and always appreciate seeing a photo of what you're talking about...LOL!) I know that there are so many new collections that have been released since CHA in January, but I most likely have missed a few (like the Webster's Pages Magical Wishes paper pack that I received from the Scrapbook Club that I just joined last night at Pink Pineapple...lovely papers and stickers...I'll share more on this later!) . So share with me which ones you've been loving the most lately.

You will have until next Friday, April 10th, to leave a comment here and be eligible for the drawing, and I'll have a drawing for the RAK next Saturday, April 11, 2009. 

Thanks so much for dropping by today! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :-D

First, thanks for a chance to win.
I like K&Company papers/albums because they have so many different patterns. But lately I saw papers by Imaginisce(http://imaginisce.com/ProductDetail.aspx?id=820) at Michael's and I totally fell in love with them!

[Krista]

So many favorites to choose from.....I LOVE PP :) If I had to choose one right now, I would say Pink Paislee Captivating, but I love ALL of PP's recent releases! :)

Keep creating Christine...I love all of your creations and they inspire me :)

[Olga]

Wow, what a great RAK. Thank you so much for this opportunity.
M favourite paper is probably My Mind's Eye (some examples here). It's hard to explain why, it's just that I like most of the stuff they come up with. Oh, and Basic Grey, of course... The Urban Prairie series is incredible: http://www.basicgrey.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=91&page=2

Hi Christine! Again... a beautiful card. I haven't commented in a while, but I am always checking in on your blog! I love the new Webster'S Pages paper... my favorites are between the Graphic 45 and Sassafrass Lass 'Life is Beautiful! http://www.sassafraslass.com/subcategories2.cfm?catname=*New*%20Life%20is%20Beautiful%20-%20Anthem&page=1

Enjoy!

I have been loving your projects and this card is awesome. Great job! My favorite paper line is one that you can't even get until later this month. I am giddy waiting for it to be available. It is the Cherry Hill line by October Afternoon. Definately saving my pesos for that one.
You can find it here:

Thanks so much for the chance to win. My fave line is not new, but it is one I keep running out of and re-purchasing time and time again.

It is "More to Adore" by CTMH: https://mmachado.myctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=3182&CatalogID=991

I just love pink and brown, so this is perfect for me.

Thanks!
Alicia

What a gorgeous card Christine!!

I'm not sure what my favourite line of papers is. There are so many - October Afternoon, Fancy Pants, Scenic Route, etc.

[Tina]

Wow-- thanks for the chance to win this amazing RAK. I would have to say my fav. paper line is Basicgrey's Ambrosia. Although I love most things BG, there is something exceptional about that particular line.

[Paola Norman]

It's hard to pick just one favorite line but if I had to it would be Creative Imaginations Narrative line.
Here is antique cream.

Have a beautiful day!

My most recent favorite paper is the Colorbok Friendly Forest line. I blogged about it not too long ago. I kept seeing it at our Michael's...I finally gave in! Awesome RAK and I love your blog!

[Kazan Clark]

Yay - I get my Christine fix! This card is almost more addictive than chocolate. Beautiful as always

I've tried 4 times to put a photo here and it isn't happening. My favorite papers so far this year was the Fancy Pants Happy Holidays. It has a gorgeous pink in it that does it for me. It's hard to find Christmas papers with pink. I know it is available at Two Peas.I hope this will link you there:
http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/fancy-pants/6/ . If not go to Two peas ,shop by brand ,Fancy Pants , page 6 and check it out... my fave of the line is the 12x12 Wonderland but I bought several of it all.
The RAK you have put together looks wonderful and I would love to pop it from my mailbox and dig in! Thanks for all the inspiration I find on your blog and for the giveaway offer. ms.cheryl

[Maria]

gorgeous card!!! I just love your work :)

[Kristie]

This card is stunning...I just love it ♥
And what an awesome RAK, you are always so generous with your giveaways :)
My favourite DP at the moment is Basic Grey Bittersweet...the colours are divine, the patterns are gorgeous, and I have been using it so much that I've decided I need to stash some (or maybe just buy some more!)

[Mary]

Hello Auntie Christine!

If I had to choose a kind of paper, I would just have chosen one of the pink papers that you gave me. I'm so happy your doing the RAK right before my birthday!! Thank you!!

Love,
Mary

[SuZeQ]

Wow - choose? How can anybody choose just one fave line. K&Company Blue Awning, anything Basic Grey, Melissa Frances or Graphic 45. Thanks for this opportunity!

[Laurel]

I am new to Pattern Papers other than Close to My Heart (I used to try to use just their stuff since I am a consultant). However, I have ventured and lately I seem to be buying a lot of My Mind's Eye and Bo Bunny. I am an earthy, neutral kinda gal that is venturing to brighter colors.

[reflections:0)]

It is hard to pick... Really do I have too? maybe K&Co. or, ... .... ....LOL

You get the picture...Or, is it paper?...

[Tracey K]

I am a patterned paper addict :)))) I love so many companies, but always find myself buying Basic Grey and Bo Bunny. Sorry I dont know how to link up an example...will put that on my "bucket list" lol. Thanks for the chance to win this lovely RAK...you are very generous!!
