My favorite thing about crafting is seeing all the things I create. I especially love to make cards!
My first love has always been stamping!! It is still my favorite, but I love enhancing stamped images/sentiments with die cuts and all the fun things that are offered today for making beautiful cards! Sure would love to win this fab collection of goodies.
Wow, that is one awesome prize!
Congrats! You’re almost there! My favorite thing about paper crafting is creating something beautiful out of paper and supplies.
My favorite thing I like about crafting is the complete and udder satisfaction and joy I feel when I’m creating!
I love trying new color combinations – and making something beautiful!
My favorite thing about paper crafting is that no matter how stressed I feel or how creatively deficit I might feel when I sit down and begin to work with paper, ink and embellishments a sense of peace envelops me! The next thing I know a creation has come together and I am filled with a sense of accomplishment!
My favorite thing about stamping and cardmaking is seeing someone tell me that they “saved” my card because they couldn’t throw it out! It just makes my day!
The appreciation and complements I get from people receiving my cards.
What a generous giveaway! I love stamping and creating something unique, and I love the look on the recipient’s face when they see that it has been made especially for them.
I didn’t realize how much I love playing with paper and scissors until I started scrapbooking about 10 years ago. It made me recall how much fun I had in kindergarten and first grade making crafts and also made me realize how important it is to express my creativity in the form of scrapbooks and personalized cards. It gives me so much pleasure to be able to make someone a scrapbook album to preserve their special memories or send a handmade card to someone knowing how much it will brighten their day. I’m thankful to Papercrafts for inspiring me to learn new techniques and for spreading their Mojo around. You’re awesome, Papercrafts, keep it up!
My fav thing about paper crafting…. after pouring all my love and creayivity into a project the best thing is giving to the recipient and seeing the joy on their face makes it all worthwhile.
I love being able to repurpose things that would otherwise be wasted or recycled.
My favoriate thing about crafting besides sharing my projects is it is a great way to relax after a long day at work. Even 5 minutes of play is betting then nothing.
What I like about paper crafting is EVERYTHING! I enjoy your blog too, thanks for the chance to win an amazing prize package.
My favorite thing about paper crafting is the quiet down time to relax and just create for my friends and family. I don’t know if they do, but I keep all of my correspondence to look at and remember good things when I am feeling down or blue. I hope that they do something of the same. I also love looking at and buying supplies to create with. I guess you could say I’m a bit of a hoarder when it comes to all things to be crafty with! Thanks for the chance to win a super HUGE collection of goodies! Even then thought of a chance to win is exciting!

As a papercrafter, not only is the finished product deeply satisfying to me…it’s also about the entire process, beginning to end. (Although at the end, I really hate cleaning up!) Papercrafting allows me to play with color, engages my head, hands and heart, and deepens my creativity! Thank you for this amazing giveaway!
My favorite thing about papercrafting is being able to make something completely unique, such as a card or a mini-album, that will make someone happy. I love seeing them smile when they open it

I have been a Facebook fan for some time and I just checked and there are less the 1000 fans needed to reach 10000 – WTG!!!
I love to use paper and stamps… love the textures and colors you can add, the pretty embellishments… it’s nice to make something and put a smile on someone’s face with my creations.

I love paper crafting because I have made some amazing friends because of our shared interest and I love making things for all those special people in my life
Thank Paper Crafts for your never ending inspiration!!!
I think (one of) my favorite highlights in papercrafting is that “aha moment”, when i get the idea for my upcoming project and the details start forming in my mind. Even if I’m following a sketch or using a technique for a challenge I still need to have my own inspiration hit and until it does I have to remind myself to be patient. But once the idea comes alive, that’s when the fun starts!
I love making cards, and I love to see where my creativity and inspirations takes me

My favorite thing about paper crafting is….making cards and sharing inspiration.
So awesome! Congratulations on nearing and surpassing this goal!
My favorite thing about paper crafting is making something from scratch. I love the feeling of taking odds and ends and creating something (hopefully) beautiful with them! The paper crafting community has been pretty great too!
Crafting is my “me time”. Its when I can sit down and let everything drop away and just focus on playing with pretty paper and making beautiful things. Its a creative outlet where there is no right or wrong answer and I can just do whatever I feel like doing, even if that’s just looking at all stashes of goodies. That is what I love the most
