Artful Delight Giveaway!

Back in July, I won a $40 gift certificate from Artful Delight via Let's Get Sketchy.  I had been holding on to it for almost 2 months, waiting for the perfect time to buy a kit or two.  I was waiting for something "new" to me - a brand I wanted to try or a line I was dying to have.  Then I saw that they had part of the June scrapbook kit available with Simple Stories Summer Fresh in it.  I knew I had to jump!  I had been wanting to try Simple Stories for a few months, and Summer Fresh was the first line of theirs that got me drooling.  Well, they had it for a great deal - $15 with some solid Bazzill cardstock.  But, that left $25.  So, I looked at what else was available.  I decided to go with the September card kit - many of my friends love October Afternoon, and that kit included some Cakewalk.  Plus it had some Echo Park and Fancy Papers papers that I liked, so it was a pretty easy decision.  I threw in a hexagon mask just to put me over the $40.

The scrapbooking and card kits normally each run $35 initially.  Often, if a kit doesn't sell out, it is discounted to $23.50 the next month.  And shipping runs $7.50 to the US and actual cost to all other countries - which makes these kits a great bargain!  Plus, she has some fun little extras periodically in stock - mists, masks, stamps, etc.  Definitely worth checking out what is in stock when you are ordering a kit!  

Well, unfortunately when the box arrived (3 days later - fast shipping!), I accidentally got the August card kit instead.  I thought about not saying anything, but then I noticed that it said September was sold out and August wasn't.  I had a feeling the wrong items were totally by mistake and might cause other problems later.  So, I sent a quick email saying that I got the wrong items on Saturday.  I got a very quick response back that Leanne was sorry and would look into it when she got home later.  A few hours later I got another email - this one saying that I could keep the August kit AND she was sending me the September one I wanted!  What great customer service!

So, I quickly decided I would giveaway the August kit to a lucky follower of my blog.  But, then I thought about what was int he kit, and realized that I could easily make it two giveaways!  I am splitting the kit in half - each half will have 1 of each of the papers and a mix of the embellishments.  Take a peak at what I am including in this giveaway:

"A" side of 13 pieces of 6x6 paper

"B" side of 13 pieces of 6x6 paper

4 8.5x11 pieces of Bazzill cardstock

Hero Arts background stamp, Prima flowers, MME Fun Day bling, Discover chipboard, and KaiserKraft rub-ons 


To make the giveaway easy, I am using Rafflecopter.  Just complete the items below, and you will be entered into the giveaway!

And stay tuned tomorrow to see the layout I created using the Simple Stories Summer Fresh I got (and the new Let's Get Sketchy Challenge!).

  1. That is great customer service and a great giveaway! I'm a scrapbooker and a cardmaker, so I kind of like them both, maybe a slight nod to the card kits because they always have some really cute stamps in there.
