Super Joy Loves Her Super Friends Day – GIVE AWAY


Don’t miss the Give Away at the bottom of this post.

I set aside the 14th of every month for a GIVE AWAY to thank YOU for being a part of Joy’s Life.  I appreciate you coming by, your comments (here, on Facebook, You Tube, Twitter and Pinterest) and knowing that we’re crafty friends.  Well, this week I have an announcement to make.  Those of you who get the Newsletter already found out (but act surprised anyway, LOL) that I have a NEW SET OF STAMPS out!  Woo hoo!  I think you’re really going to like them.  I used some of them already in the project I’m using in the blog hop here Saturday.  Without further ado, here they are:

Many of you will also be really happy to know that YUMMY PUNS is back!  Both sets will begin shipping next week!

I want to take a second to brag on a previous Joy’s Life Designer, Annette Witherspoon.  She just got a card published in the July/August 2012 Paper Crafts magazine using the “Let’s Ketchup” stamp from Joy’s Life Yummy Puns stamp set!

Paper Crafts Magazine July/August 2012

Here’s what she made:

Yummy Puns, you're famous!

That’s adorable, Annette!  Congratulations!  You can find Annette’s card on page 42.

I’d also like to congratulate current Joy’s Life Design Team member Megan Aaron for being published in the same magazine!  That’s awesome, Megan!  You go, girl!  Check out pages 39 AND 41 for Megan’s creations!

Want some stamps to get your craft on?  Check out the Joy’s Life Products page for some fun stamps!

AND NOW?  It’s definitely TIME FOR A GIVE AWAY!

 

Friends, leave a comment telling me what you like to make when you craft.  I’ll use Random.org to pick a winner for the newest set of Joy’s Life stamps, Pun in the Sun, AND the July/August 2012 issue of Paper Crafts magazine, in honor of the awesome ladies who are in it. 😉  I’ll announce the winner on this post Tuesday, June 19th.  (P.S. If you buy the stamps and also are the winner, I’ll refund your money OR you can pick another set of stamps.)

AND THE WINNER IS:

I have been scrapbooking for over 10 years. I love to go into my scraproom and get lost for a afternoon, I love new techniques and have some old faithfulls. I am making my childrens lives come to live in the books I create, for their memories. I love to pass these on and I love to make things for others as well. Thanks for the chance to win, oh and I LOVE POPCICLES!

Have a sweet day!  Today I’m out with my kiddos having our weekly mini-uno-day-cation adventure.

  1. The funny thing is, I don’t have to “make” anything when I am in my craft room to have a fabulous day. Just playing around with new techniques and designs that I have seen on the web puts me in such a “happy” place lolol. At the moment though, I am working on the 150+ card sketches for Operation Write Home. I just learned how to apply vinyl to my walls so I am ready to create something with Cricut and see what else I can embellish lol. Have a great day 🙂

    1. Michele,
      I feel the same way! I enjoy the creative process as much as the actual creation. Sometimes I just try a few things out that never see the light of day. That’s fun too!
      What you are doing for Operation Write Home is wonderful.
      Have fun vinyling!

    Thanks for the chance, Joy! Tried and true, I’m a card-maker. I have not ventured into scrapbook layouts…yet. I do like to scour the internet and see what’s out there and try to create something similar with my own personal flair to it. I also have to do a lot of my crafting on my kitchen table because the craft room doesn’t have a lot of table space. So even though I have “two” rooms I craft in, both give me the space to create something fun for those around me! 🙂

    thanks for the chance to be a winner. I am an avid card maker for a couple of years now. I don’t sell my cards just enjoy sending them to anyone and everyone! I am still learning and trying somthing new as often as I can. I take pictures of each project and I have close to 500 images of cards I’ve made for family and friends.

  5. I’m like a lot of the posts here. I come to my craft room and think “what will I make today?” I look around to see what I have and then decide. Sometimes it is sewing, embroidering, card making. I don’t really do “scrapbooking”. That’s my sister’s “thing”. But I do love to create cards for all occasions to give to relatives and friends.

    Maybe one of these days I’ll be a lucky winner of one of your give-aways. *keeping fingers crossed*. It is very kind of you to offer to do these give-aways. Happy “flag day”, BTW

  6. The ketchup card is adorable!

    When I craft, I usually make cards. There always seems to be a need for them. Right now I have about 30 Thank you cards to make.

  7. I really, really like to make cards. The past year, I have developed a passion for stamping and coloring with Copics. Such a challenge to learn all the wonderful coloring techniques. Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful package.

  8. scrapbooknut67114 says:

    I enjoy making cards. I started out with scrapbooking; but, seem to have lost interest that. When I discovered card making, it seemed to transform my creativity. Recently I have discovered stamping and coloring (but not with copics). I now use card making and stamping as an outlet to find my “happy place”. Thanks for the opportunity to win. Hope you have a great day!

  9. dtrippeda4 says:

    I love making mini albums. It gives me the opportunity to catch the personality of the person I am making it for. I really enjoy distressing and girlie grunge. It gives my projects a little bit of my own personality and together the finished product is always very unique. I think it is a great opportunity to win this package. I think the pun phrases are great!!!!

  10. First, congrats to the Ladies! Being published is always such fun and a huge accomplishment!! Now, Joy, as usual, you ROCKED the stamps! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your stamps and they are the first ones I always grab when I am card making or scrapbooking! Thanks so much for making this “Pun in the Sun” set, since I live at the beach I make lots of cards and scrapbook pages that these stamps will be perfect for!!! Thanks Thanks Thanks!

  23. Hi, Joy! I love the new stamp set! I sure could have used it a couple of days ago. LOL Congrats to you on the new release and to my former teammie, Annette, for being published! That’s so exciting! Thanks for the chance to win your newest stamps. I read your post every day still, even though I don’t often leave comments. Take care! xx

  24. Hi Joy – love this latest set of puns! I am a scrapbooker turned cardmaker and in the past year have become a Copic addict! Congrats to the ladies being published! I did notice that was one of your stamps! I’m a subscriber to all of your blogs, but not usually a comment maker. But since I really like this set, thought I’d take a chance! Happy Flag Day!

  25. I love making cards, 3D projects and alter stuff. and I oh-so-hope to win this! thanks!

  26. sweetpea6053 says:

    I love all the fun ideas on this blog. I scrapbook, almost daily. My favorite thing to use is my Cricut. I think I now have over 100 carts!!! I love Joy’s stamps!

  27. dolphin6859 says:

    I do cards exclusively. I did rubber stamping last year until my husband introduced me to the cricut which I am totally addicted to. I have not done any rubber stamping since. I now own 26 cartridges and have done at least a card a day since February I love my cricut. Thanks for this opportunity to win.

  28. I love to make cards! I have several of your stamp sets and love them! I think this new stamp set is too cute! – Thanks for a chance to win!

  29. I enjoy making cards and scrapbooking, or any thing else my mind thinks of. I think your idea of taking the kiddos on a mini-vaction is a great idea. We are doing that this year with the grand-kids. We just took the two oldest to the local zoo. Thank you for a chance to win.

  30. mousemomma says:

    Love the new stamp set! It’s super cute! I like card making and mini albums. Like many others I just love being in my crafty space with my “stuff”! Trying to organize it seems to be my new hobby these days though… 🙂

  31. I am new to your site but sure do enjoy cardmaking . Congrats to the published ladies and I hope to win your adorable stamps.

  32. Hi Joy,
    Love the new stamp set! My craftiness changes day by day. I am a teacher and some (most) of my crafting time is devoted to making things for my school and students. When I do have a chance to craft for the love of crafting I like to make cards and altered items. I have developed a recent addiction to YouTube crafting channels, I am quickly becoming inspired to do other things. I have several scrapbooks that need to be filled, but I haven’t tried to do a layout yet. I am thinking that my next adventure in crafting will be a mini-book. I am thinking that this summer vacation(ie: three weeks before summer school starts) will be the perfect time to spread my crafty wings:)

  33. Love the new stamp sets – each set you come out with is better than the last! thanks for giving us such witty, creative ways to say we care.

  34. Oh, forgot to say how much I enjoy making cards – they’re a quick way too use some creativity AND show others how we care.

  35. Congrats to the ladies on being published! Must be super exciting for you Joy. When I’m in my crafty room I like to make small gifts, like wrapped candy bars and the like. Repurposing items is also a fav. Thanks for the chance to win Joy 🙂

  36. I love to be in my craft room! But i create just about anything. I love to revamp old stuff. Or remake things. But i do cards and layouts. I even make hairbows. Anything as long as i can craft. Thanks joy for the wonderful give away.

    Thanks so much for the chance to win! I really like to scrapbook and make cards, but I’m also venturing into making docorative stick pins and even decorating a few things with vinyl. If only I had more time to actually do the crafting I envision in my mind instead of just thinking it up.

  38. lewistruth says:

    I do all sorts of crafting, and you blog inspires me to try even more crafty things! I love card making , and scrapbooking especially. Jewelry making probably comes in third place right now. Just depends what mood I’m in!

  39. I am part of a card ministry at church so I mainly make cards. In the fall I do craft shows at some elementary schools so the kids can buy gifts for their family and I make a variety of projects.

  40. I love making smaller chip board albums and cards. I also do make layouts but not so much anymore. I love all the new products especially all the dies for my big shot. I really need stamps so I can make more cards but I’m easily distracted and buy more tools and paper.

  41. I started out scrapbooking and that led to making cards. Now I need to go back and finish up my scrapbooking! Thanks for the opportunity to win these stamps!

  42. I started out doing scrapbooking but soon found cards. I love them both for different reason. Thanks so much for the chance tow in Joy. TFS AJ~

  43. I am mainly a card maker these days. I love making cards for family and friends all year long, at a rate of a couple hundred each year. Thanks for a chance to win this great prize. Look your site.

    Hi Joy,
    Thanks for the chance to win! I starter as a scrapbooker, but have enjoyed card making as well.
    But my ultimate, favorite thing to craft is treat holders and treat containers. I love making 3-D items, re using/altering containers and filling them w/ yummy treats for friends and family!
    Cheers, rocio

  45. I am so excited to have joined your site and to have a chance to win. I love scrapbooking and making cards. I am a seamstress and love to sew and embroider as well, although my machines haven’t seen me for quiet awhile 🙂 unless I need to sew on a card. So I guess you can say that I am addicted.

    Happy carfting
