We have a brand new giveaway that starts today. And this one is from friend of papernstitch, Laura Evans who runs the photography shop Love.Laugh.Believe. Her photography is stunning, which is probably why I talk about her so much here on the blog.
Anyway, back to the giveaway…Laura is giving away a $30 gift certificate / shopping spree to one lucky winner to spend in her photography shop on whatever they would like (prints, notecards, whatever)! All you have to do is enter for your chance to win. Details below…
There are three ways to play and you can enter up to three times. Here are the ways to play. Each entry should be a separate comment…
1. Browse Laura’s photography shop. Find your favorites. Come back here and tell us how you spend your $30 gift certificate if you won.
2. Subscribe to the papernstitch blog by clicking here and then leave a message in the comments that says “subscribed”. **I’ll know if you really did or did not subscribe, so let’s play fair.
3. Twitter, facebook, or blog about this giveaway and leave a link in the comments.
**Giveaway will end on November 30th at 11:59 pm eastern time.**

tiffany commented on November 16th, 2010 at 12:30 pmSeeing as cupcakes are one of my favorite things in the world, I’d have to frame a cupcake print and give it a home in my kitchen so I can be reminded every morning how magical sprinkles are.

Kacia commented on November 16th, 2010 at 1:19 pm2. I would definitely go for “a fairy tale castle and the dream of a happy ending.” It looks like a secret place, suitable for epic games of make-believe.

1. Wow! What a stunning selection to select from! I’d probably pick either http://www.etsy.com/listing/38434751/you-and-me-whimsical-fine-art because it’s so colorful and reminds me of when my husband and I first met, or http://www.etsy.com/listing/25574863/before-the-days-of-the-yellow-pages — it would look great in my studio!

Briar commented on November 21st, 2010 at 12:05 amIf I won, I’d definitely go for ‘The Lonely Boat’ print. I spent some time in Spain earlier in the year and loved the beaches – they made me feel at home again even though I was far from it. This image takes me back to those times
Beautiful.
