1,000 YouTube Subscriber Giveaway!!!!

UPDATE!!!! Misty Rowland is the Winner!!! Thank you all for your support!!!

Oh my I am so excited to reach 1,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel!  I have been more consistent lately, by adding content I hope you have all enjoyed.  I must admit, it took me some time to get into the YouTube side of my business.  And I think it's because I was looking at it as a business only, instead of sharing my love of papercrafting. I needed to look at YouTube as sharing my love of Stampin' Up! with the rest of you.

And with a day job I couldn't find the time as I was  already sharing, and enjoying,  papercrafting on Periscope. (Periscope is live streaming, you can watch on a downloadable app or on your PC at Periscope.tv) I realized this weekend, I can do both!!!  If I kept my YouTube videos short and not too much fuss editing.

To celebrate this milestone, I wanted to have a giveaway.  I love RAK's (random acts of kindness), especially when it's giving someone Stampin' Up! products!!!

Here are the details for the giveaway:

1. Share you favorite video from my channel. - 1 Entry
2. Comment below "Shared" - 1 Entry

Update!!! Sorry this is open to U.S. residents only :(

What You will WIN!!!  
July 2017 Paper Pumpkin (designed by Stampin' Up! CEO Sara)
6x6 Paper Stack - Cupcakes & Carousels
2017-2018 In-Color Enamel Shapes
plus a surprise!!!


This will be open till October 30th, 5pm Central.  I will draw a name that evening and announce on my Faebook Page!



Thank you from the bottom of my buggy heart!!!

Hugs from the Bug,
Denise

Ladybug Loot



Announcing Ladybug Loot!!! Ok, this was a cute name we came up with for my new Online Class Bundles.

One definition of Loot - a collection of valued objects: example -The children shouted and laughed as they opened their Christmas loot.

Here are the deets on the Loot:

1. Access to exclusive videos, and written instructions. Tips & Tricks from Ladybug.
2. Project materials mailed to you will be pre-cut, embossed and packaged along with any                        embellishments, ribbons, etc. you to complete the projects at home.
3. Stamped images will not be provided (as per Stampin Up's Policy).
4. Everything above is FREE when you purchase the class bundle! Bundle includes stamps, and              often framelits/punches shipped directly to you.

A few Q and A's:

Q: What if I already have the stuff in the bundle?

A: The stamp set and/or framlit/thinlet/punch will be part of the package.  But if I include ink’s as part of the bundle then you will be able to swap out with something at equal value.

Q: What exactly is included in the Online Tutorials:

A:  The Online Tutorial is the next best thing to being in class with me!  I will include a video for every project (at least 3 projects (2 each) projects unless indicated!) and I will have written directions with all supplies, colors, and dimensions for each project.

Q: Can I see the projects for each tutorial before I buy?

A: No!  They are a surprise, and are exclusive to my Ladybug Loot (online class) customers.  I work hard to make sure you are getting more than your money's worth for investing in an Online Class with me!  I will share new tips, techniques, and ideas!

Q: When will I receive the tutorials and packages?

A: I will announce the class on the 1st, after the class orders closes on the 8th, I will email you the video tutorial link.  And mail the packages, shortly after the class closes, you will receive prior to receiving your purchased class bundle.

I have an offer below to celebrate, see below!!!
