This give-away is now closed! Congrats to the winner!
Balzer Designs has started a craft book club and because the first book she has reviewed in her book club series is my book, Scraptastic! I have decided to give away a copy here on my blog.
Give-away is now closed! Thanks to all who entered!
To enter to receive a copy of Scraptastic!, post a comment right here.
For a second entry, post a link to this blog or post on your blog, and then post again here saying you blogged about this give-away or my book Scraptastic!
Entries will be accepted until midnight on Monday April 9th, 2012 and I will randomly select one winner to receive a copy of Scraptastic! on Tuesday April 10th.
Please include your email so I can notify you! The winner will also be posted here on my blog.
Thanks so much for your interest and playing along!
This book was such a pleasure to create, and the Memory Makers team so wonderful to work with. Years later, when I look through this book I am still surprised that it is mine! I don't pick it up often, but when I do, I always have fun remembering the late nights and spilled paint and all of the FUN that went into creating the projects. Even though it was published a few years ago now, when I look through it I still think it feels contemporary and can still be enjoyed today, I think because the projects are more technique based and less product based, they don't feel as dated as some of the other projects I might have made around the same time.
Maybe I am highly biased, but I still enjoy Scraptastic! and I hope you do -- or will, too!

Hello lovely one!!! I saw Julie's post and it made me think of you :)
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and your splendidly uplifting words. If you are happy to ship to Australia I'd love to enter as I know I have borrowed your book from our local library many many times :) Hugs and thank you again, for dropping by, you made my day much brighter
I'm happy to find your blog via 2Peas. I hope you're still scrapping. Your book was one of my favorites and I still have it so need to enter my name! :)
PS blogged :) http://skruijver.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/scraptasticinspire-tastic.html
I found your blog through 2Peas. Your book looks great! Thanks for the chance to win!
This is SO cool Ashley! I love JFFB, love your book, and love how this all comes together! And thanks for YOUR fabulous comments! What a big thrill for me!!
Hi! Would love to win a copy of this book! :) I am a new scrapper and have finished one book for my daughters 21st and made a few cards so far. This book would be a great help for a beginner scrapper. E-mail: wight02@hotmail.com
Thanks from Rose
I just love the subtitle on your book, as that's a perfect way to describe how I love to scrapbook!! Messy, sparkly, toucy-feely and snazzy...... sounds wounderful in my mind! Would love to win a copy.

Always looking for inspiration so it would be lovely to win a copy :) thanks for the chance
I didn't even know you had a book published. Congrats, however belatedly! :) I took a look at it on Amazon and it looks amazing.
Your book is hard to find once Julie's book review went up. Amazing isn't it? I would love a chance to win you book. I love messy!
I remember seeing your book once and thinking it looked cool; but haven't seen it again. Would love the chance to win.
I remember thinking that your book looked really cool when it was published, but I wasn't into messy stuff then. Now, of course, I'm all about messy and can't find it!

I learnt about your book and this give away from my online friend Sharmaine's blog. I've just started scrapping again after 2years of no scrapping! Your book is just what I need to get my mojo back -that's IF you are prepared to ship to South Africa. :)
I foundyour book and blog through balzardasigns. Thank you for this great giveaway.

I read about the great reviews on Julie's blog and really want this book now. Thanks soooo much for this chance to win. I'm one of those that don't buy crafty books so really hoping to start my collection with yours.
rikm@adelphia.net
THANKS!!
Enjoyed reading about your book in Julie's blog. Was tempted to buy it, but $$ is tight and have to pay off the Feds first...they think I am rich! Anyway, I admire the way your book is so much more than scrapbooking.
Thanks to Julie who lead me to your blog. This book is just what I am looking for. I am always looking for new techniques. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the opportunity, I found your blog through Julie Balzer
hi. I'm here by way of Julie Balzer via Judy Wise' journaling class. Isn't traveling blog land exciting! Julie picked a great book for her first review.

I love art books that are technique driven. So it would be wonderful to have your book among the oft perused books that I have. Keep being messy beacause thats where the great ideas come from. julie@timetocreate.com.au
I love the cover of this book. t looks like I could get a lot of inspiration from this. Thanks to Julie for featuring it!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
SERIOUSLY, I have an addiction to books - even had to have floor to ceiling shelves built in my house when I moved here.
I know, I know...can't help myself.
HOW IN THE WORLD did I miss
SCRAPTASTIC????? Maybe because it's been sold out everywhere I've been?
Don't know - but MUST have a copy.
Thanks for the chance.
Looks like a great book. Thanks Julie Balzer for introducing it to us!
Thanks to Julie's book club I pulled mine off the shelf the other day - nothing dated about it, and I probably have more of the supplies now than when I first bought it a couple years ago. Just wanted to say thanks for giving us a resource that has stood the test of time; I'm looking forward to diving into some techniques previously untried. How sweet of you to share the inspiration with someone who doesn't already have it!
So fun to be able to share this creative lifestyle with so many through all the online rabbit trails...without Julie I would not have found you or your cool book!
Found you through Julie's blog. A girl can never have too many craft books and yours looks great -- would love to win. Thanks.
I love messy and i love books. The cover of this one makes me curious. Thanks for the chance to win. majasestig@gmail.com
I read Julie's review and I need to get a copy of this book - it looks awesome!
