Welcome to Freebie Friday! I hope you’ve enjoyed Stamp It! Week just as much as we’ve enjoyed bringing it to you here and on the Moxie Fab World blog. (Judging from our page hits and your wildly enthusiastic comments, you’ve had a mighty fine time! And all the free product doesn’t hurt, right?)
For those of you just joining us today, make sure to read all of our stamptastic posts this week. From a wonderfully candid interview with designer Teri Anderson to Susan Opel’s “green” confession to an inspiring tutorial on dye ink sprays from PC Pro Alisa Bangerter, we’ve truly been favored by the stamping gods. And a special thanks goes out to all the manufacturers who’ve donated their fabulous product for our daily giveaways – especially yesterday’s! You’ve made a lot of people very happy!
So should we get on with the giveaway? I told you it was going to be a BIG one. I believe my exact words were “the crème-de-la-crème of all stamping prizes”. I’m hyperventilating right now just thinking about and I don’t even get to take it home. Take a deep breath, ladies. Now let it out. Okay. Here. We. Go.
One random winner will receive this grand prize package including: Cropper Hopper Stamp Station, Copic Basic Brights marker set (MSRP $70.00), six Close to My Heart exclusive dye inks, two background stamps and the Butterfly Beauty set from Unity Stamp Company, Teacher’s Apple and Spiral Bouquet stamp sets from Papertrey Ink, and the five stamp sets we featured in the “Say it with Stamps” section of Stamp It! Cards. And, of course, a copy of Stamp It! Cards autographed by all the Paper Crafts editors. Whew! Did you get all that?
One lucky winner will take this home! Maybe it will be you!
And because I’m feeling very generous, five additional people will each receive this prize package including: five clear stamp sets and idea book from Adornit Carolee’s Creations and a copy of Stamp It! Cards.
Are you officially drooling? Good! Then I’ve done my job. Since today marks the first day of spring, leave a comment telling me your favorite spring quote. It can be from a song, a poem, a movie, etc. All comments must be received by midnight on Monday, March 23. I’ll announce the winners on Tuesday, March 24.
Five lucky winners will each take this prize package home!
All in all, I’d have say there’s a lot of stampers out there who are beyond passionate about their craft. One common thread I picked up from all of your comments (yes, I read every last one!) is there are endless creative possibilities when it comes to stamping. And when there’s no limit to creativity, that’s when the real fun begins!
Thanks for making Stamp It! Week so much fun!
Kelly

Oh my gosh….I am so drooling right now that I can’t believe this. What I would give to be one of these lucky winners. I am crossing fingers, toes, legs, eyes and anything else I can think of!!!!
“Plant a flower and give it love but only God can make it bud”- this quote reminds me of Spring
Ohh, I hope I am not too late. What generous blog candy! My favorite spring quote “Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain” – a great new stpam semtiment I found at paper makeup Stamps.
I hope I still made the cut. My spring is taking it’s time getting started around here but when it comes I am ready for the garden. My favourite quote:
The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month. ~Henry Van Dyke
Thanks for the chance to win.
We have a saying suitable for this spring that doesn’t want to sprung and is giving way to a cold rain: One swallow doesn’t bring the spring.
Oh, I see now that I’m a little late, being in Europe. Rats
Well I have two quotes…My spring one would have to be
A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have. ~Author Unknown
Now my next one has to do with the scrapbooking and cardmaking…
I would prefer my alcohol in a marker…Copic that is!
It’s not exactly a spring quote… it is really one of my favorite quotes of all time. It makes me happy. Ferris Buhler’s day off… “The question isn’t what are we going to do – the question is what AREN’T we going to do!”
Great candy! Good luck everyone – but mostly me
Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush. ~Doug Larson
Yay for Spring and giveaways!
What an awesome offering! Thank you for the opportunity.
My favorite quote goes like this: Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn. ~Quoted by Lewis Grizzard in Kathy Sue Loudermilk, I Love You

I personally like the quote, “Happy Birthday!” Because I was supose to be born on the first day of spring but didn’t arrive till the 26th. I think this would make a wonderful birthday present.
I’m more into visual items then verbal and I love seeing the baby animals in the spring and the Easter candy in the stores.
My favorite quote, quite appropriate for spring I think, is “Just because they make spandex pants in your size, doesn’t mean you have to wear them….”
Not sure where it comes from, but it is a favorite of mine!

My favorite quote from spring is from a children’s song by Georgia W. Bello
titled “Popcorn Popping”
“I looked out the window and what did I see? Popcorn popping on the apricot tree! Sping has brought me such a nice surprise, Blossoms popping right before my eyes!
Some of our trees in the Portland, OR area are starting to blossom ” although the apricot trees don’t have popcorn popping yet. I am so ready for Spring!
Wow what awesome give away!
I don’t know if this is a famous one or what but we have always said…
Spring has sprung
The grass has rise
Wonder where all the flowers is?
We use all incorrect grammer here because we came up with this after we were in a store and the clerk used one of my most hated sayings…
He you be! Like what is that supposed to mean? I always answer back when they say here you be, yes I be here. They give me this strange look. I believe the person is saying here you are as they hand me something but that is certainly not what they say!

The first thing that came to mind when thinking about Spring is from the book “Anne of the Island” by L.M. Montgomery:
“March came in that winter like the meekest and mildest of lambs, bringing days that were crisp and golden tingling, each followed by a frosty pink twilight which gradually lost itself in an elfland of moonshine.”
That makes me sigh with relief! Let Spring begi
Wonderful gift package. Lots of inspiration forthcoming.
The quote is a child’s song: Little Ducky Duddle went wading in a puddle,
Went wading in a puddle quite small.
He said, “It doesn’t matter how much I splash
and splatter. I’m only a ducky afterall!”
THAT is the essence of spring!
the original Poem? is:
Spring has sprung
The grass is Risz
I wonder’s where’s the Birdies Iz?
The Bird is on the wing
Aah but that’s absurd!!
The wing is on the Bird
