Enter Your Party Crown or Hat to Win a $50.00 Gift and Links to Patterns!
We are also hosting a Party Crown/Hat Contest and we will be giving away a $50.00 Gift Certificate on June 15 and 2 runner up prize packs! So far no one has entered but I hope lots of you will join in the fun and use our Free Tiara, Crown Pattern or Party Hat Downloads to create a party crown or hat. Just email your crown or party hat photo to sandy@craftysecrets.com I will post the samples and winners on June 15th.

Here is a sample that DT member Vicki Chrisman whipped up last night using the Tiara pattern, with an image from our Girlfriends Image & Journal Notes Booklet and paper from our Radiant Paper Pad.

If the patterns I've added below don't enlarge for you, please click HERE to download the Tiara and Crown Pattern from Yousendit.com . This is a new link as last weeks went over 500 downloads! The pattern works great on our 6 x 12" papers (because they are thick) but will work with any paper or cardstock 12" long. Simply print the pattern on plain paper and cut it out to use as a template to trace on.


If you would rather enter a Party Cone Hat, HERE is the link to our Party Cone and Party Hat Pattern, which was posted last year on our website and here is a hat sample that DT Member Lisa Zappa created using paper from our Radiant Paper Pad, image from our Seasonal Booklet and a Mini Chipboard Frame (19 pcs).

Win This NEW Mouse Party Stamp Set!
Speaking of parties, we are also working on a bunch of new Clear Art Stamp sets for the CHA Show next month and we just got the proofs back for a new Mouse Party Set and I have an extra one I'm going to give away! This totally cute medium size set won't be available until next month but one lucky winner will get one when we choose a random winner also on June 15th. To enter to win this fun stamp set just leave a comment HERE on this blog.
Thank You Texas!
We just got home last night from the Great American Scrapbook Show in Texas and we had a great time and met many old and new friends! Everyone was so friendly and they loved the Make-n-Takes Vicki Chrisman taught and all the fabulous samples our Design Team have created. I will post photos and info about the CHA Wholesale Trade Show and the Craft Super Show we are attending next month in Orlando Florida.

Wishing you all lots of joy & creativity!

    Your mouse stamps are so darn cute. Reminds me of a dear friend who uses a little mouse for her preschool class mascot. How fun they would be to use on a variety of cards!

    I love all of your products, I am new to them and saw you for the 1st time at the Puyallup Fair, where I went to "check things out". Your by far was my favorite!
    I love these mouse stamps they are so cute, and I have been looking for years actually for a set that has cute faces on them...They would make a excellent addition to my growing addiction to stamps....

  44. MichJune 9, 2009 at 11:48 PM

    I got to know your products about 1 year ago and I have to say, I have already quit some different things from you. I adore your booklets and certainly the great quality stamps with always very nice designs. These mouses are the cutest. I really would love to win these, but if I don't, I'm sure they will end up in my shopping bag anyway, as I really adore the design and I'm sure I can use them on lots of my cards and layouts. But of course, it would be great to win them ;-))

    Keep on going with your great brand !! I'm a big fan !!

    I love this stamp! It reminds me of the Santa Mouse book that was read to me as a child. Seeing this stamp brings back childhood memories that gives me a warm, loving feeling inside.
    Thank you, this cheered me up on a rather down day.
