Super Joy Loves Her Super Friends Day GIVE AWAY

by

Two words.  SO … EMBARRASSING.

I don’t know how it suddenly became April 17 but here we are.  I forgot to celebrate Super Joy Loves Her Super Friends Day on the 14th.  I’ve only missed the day one other time in over two years.  Pitiful.  So, what was I doing?  I was throwing a family b’day party, one day I was sick and one day I cooked like a maniac from morning until night (but I didn’t feel good so I took pieces from every dish and then felt even worse).  I tell you this whole list of things just to say, I’m sorry I missed SJ Loves Her SF day!!  I’ll make up for it right now!

GIVE IT AWAY GIVE IT AWAY NOW…

The First Prize is…

The first prize is the AWESOME Xyron 2.5-inch Sticker Maker with Permanent-Adhesive Cartridge.

I have Xyron’s in many different sizes and they are all great and useful!  Here is a post where I just about wore my Xyron’s out.  It’s the first (and only) scrapbook page I’ve ever made.  I did it last April.  I enjoyed making it.  I really ought to try my hand at scrapbooking again.

The 2nd & 3rd Prizes ARE…

Two more winners will receive the April Cricut magazine.  Woo hoo!  Me like pretty pictures.  Me talk like Cookie Monster again.

Ok Super Friends you leave a comment and I’ll pick some winners.  Sound like a deal?  Sweet!  Wait, let’s make it tricky.  You answer this question in your comment… “What is your favorite die cutting machine?”  I’ll pick THREE WINNERS (one for the Xyron and 2 for the April Cricut magazine) who answer the question.  I’ll list the winners on this post on April 24, 2012.

AND THE WINNERS ARE…

I’ve had my Silhouette Cameo for several months but have only used it a few times. I was thrilled to find your blog post about it because from there I found the link to MTC software, which I’ve purchased and am loving! Especially the Trace feature. It never dawned on me there would be cutting software other than the one that came with the cameo. So glad I happened on to your blog!

I started with a Sizzix and swore I’d never need a Cricut. So glad my son talked me into the Cricut! Don’t know how I would craft without it. Love your posts Joy. You’ve given me the confidence to cut vinyl and It’s one of my favorite things to do now!

I love my cricut but I love my hubby of 19 years today more! I’d better to stay together that long! I sure don’t know where all that time has gone but it is truly hard to believe!
God bless and thanks for the chance to win! Janet

Good Luck!  I’m off to the craft room today.  Wheee!!

  1. I have a Cricut and a cuttlebug and love them both. I probably use the Cricut more for diecutting than the cuttlebug. I have had the Cricut for a long time now and still have so much to learn. I appreciate your posts for that reason!! Kathy

  3. You are so forgiven. Thanks for the opportunity to win something. The giveaways are great. I hav a cricut and a big shot. Im pretty new at a lot. Just learning and having fun fun fun. I always wanted that Xyron, perhaps this might be my day. I love all your creations. Keep them coming and remember, don't sweat the small stuff. but we don't mine winning the big stuff.

    • Ladyvalery, I love your quote, "...and remember, don’t sweat the small stuff. but we don’t mine winning the big stuff." LOL! ~Joy~

  4. Awesome giveaway, Joy! My favorite cutting machine would be the cricut expression. Thanks for all you do such as sharing your time, ideas and talents with us. scrapbooknut67114 at gmail dot com

  6. Wonderful giveaway! I love my cricut & cuttlebug. These are the only machines I have right now but am hoping one day I will be able to venture out into the world of SIL, Imagine or any of those other wonderful machines. TFS angiehbug at yahoo dot com

  7. Thanks for the funness you offer. If you asking about strictly which machine do I enjoy cutting with the most, it's the Cricut Expression. But my Cuttlebug is my favorite machine that also cuts because I LOVE to emboss with it LOTS!

  8. What a awesome give aways.....Love that Cricut magazine.....My favorite cutting machine is my Expression...I love the tumbler idea..so cute!!

  11. I've had my Silhouette Cameo for several months but have only used it a few times.

  12. Joy, I'm glad you're feeling better! All I have is the Cricut and Cuttlebug (which I love) but I would like to have another cutting machine that I can use with SVG files. I have my eye on the Cameo. Thanks for all of your giveaways and the time you put into your blog. You're one of my favs!! Can't wait for the teacher gifts blog hop!

  13. I absolutely love my cricut expression would be lost without it; LOL! Thanks for a chance at this great giveaway! debz831 at hotmail dot com

  14. This is my first time commenting on your blog - gotta put my name in the hat for this great giveaway! I think I'm one of the lone crafters out there using a Craftwell eCraft cutter. I love it because it's matless! However, I'm actually upgrading to a Cameo very soon because I'd like to make more detailed cuts than I can get with the eCraft. Wish me luck!

  15. I only have one machine - the Cricut Create...and I love it! But I think I'm ready to start designing my own cut files and doing bigger projects, so would love a Silhouette Cameo one day. Same with the xyron - I have the little X one...would love the bigger one! Thanks for the chance!

  16. I have the Craft Robo (The Silhouette before it was Silhouette) and a Cuttlebug, I had the CR 1st but bought the Cuttlebug for embossing and now I think I use the CB more. I think I love them equally though because I can do stuff with one that I can't do with the other.

  17. Love the giveaway. I have a few month ago got the small xyron and have fell in love with it. I love my cricut and have fallen really in love with the Imagine that I got for Christmas. I have the Cuttlebug, but only use it for embossing. My little girl has the Cuttlebug for kids and really enjoys it.

  18. AWESOME giveaways Joy! I own the cuttlebug and Cricut expression, and I like them both, but I am dreaming of owning the Cameo. DH knows I want one BAD, so here's hoping he gets his butt in gear and orders one soon!

  19. I have a Cricut, Cameo and a Cuttlebug.....love them all!!! Thanks for the awesome giveaway! Love visiting your site for inspiration.

  20. I started with a Sizzix and swore I'd never need a Cricut. So glad my son talked me into the Cricut! Don't know how I would craft without it. Love your posts Joy. You've given me the confidence to cut vinyl and It's one of my favorite things to do now!

  21. I love my Cricut and Gypsy. I don't think I'll ever want a different machine, but never say never, right? Thanks for the chance to win!

  22. I Love my Cricut and my (Gypsy I don't leave home without it.) Thanks for the Great Prizes and for the chance to Win!

  23. Oh, my favorite machine has to be my Cricut! I have discovered cutting vinyl and now contact paper to use for glass etching. Making some beautiful monogrammed candy dishes for Mother's Day gifts! I recently bought a Cuttlebug and am having fun with that also. Just so pleased with my Cricut Expression that I purchased a Cricut Create to take with me on vacation! Thanks for the chance to win!

  25. I like my cricut, but I will be buying me a new machine. Thanks so much for this giveaway

  26. I only have the Cricut expression and I really enjoy it. However after looking at the cut files for other machines I find myself wanting to try the other options out there.

  27. Hi Super Joy! I love my cricut expressions and my gypsy. I also have the cricut E2 but so much technology intimidates me! still learning that one! I had the gypsy for about 1 yr before I really began to get the hand of it and since the "contour and hide" features, it is my best way to create. Every shape and cut have so many new possibilities now. I absolutely love my ciciut and gypsy together. Thanks for the chance to win! Cheers Rocio

  29. OHHH! What a fab giveaway! I love my Cricut--but I have a brand new KNK sitting on my desk waiting for me to use it! I've had it for almost 5 months! I'm just tooooo nervous! Thanks for the chance to win:) sbmmhoover at yahoo dot com

  30. I use my cricut most often although my favorite is my craftrobo pro because it has so much more versatility. I need to get the drivers and programs for it loaded onto my new computer so it can get back into action again.

  31. WOw! What a great giveaway.. I would love to win. My favorite Die-Cuttin Machine is the Cricut. I love using it to make stuff for my cards and layouts. New follower THanks for the chance to win. Hugs, Patty creativediva98.blogspot.com creativediva98 at gmail dot com

  32. My favorite die cutting machine at THIS very moment is the ***** Cricut CAKE Machine ***** turned "crafting" machine. It's the only one I have as it was a Christmas/Birthday present from my daughter. It WAS supposed to be specifically for fondant cutouts (I'm into making cupcakes look purty!) but ever since I got the crafting bug with the Cricut last year, it's been my go-to "tool" at the moment. I had the chance to grab another Cricut Cake Machine at a bargain and THAT one is for strictly fondant cut-outs. Thanks for the chance to win!

  34. My Favorite Die Cutting machine is my Cricut Imagine.. I do also have the Cameo but so far it has just been sitting on my desk I have cut ZERO with it.... Thanks for a WONDERFUL Blog Hop and a chance at some WONDERFUL Giveaways!

  35. EVERY day is SFLHSF day!! :-) Thank you so much for the chance to win! I do not have a Xyron but would love to try it! I only have 2 machines, the Cricut Expression and Spellbinders Grand Calibur. I love my Cricut ~ I have only had it about a year and I am about to get the hang of it! There are so many things you can do with it and if I ever get up the nerve to use CCR, I know it will be awesome! Have a wonderful day ~~ ((hugs))

  36. I have an Expression, which I love!! I am thinking of another machine one of these days... if hubby lets me spurge again :) I've been eyeing you the Xyron the last couple times I was at Michael's. I think it would make a great addition to my crafting space!! Thanks for the chance to win it~

  37. Hi... I love my Cricut Expression. Thanks for the chance to win this lovely giveaway. Val Rodrigues www.crieartezzanato.blogspot.com Hugs
