Who wants to WIN a Cuttlebug?!!!

Don't forget to pause my blog music (way down bottom) before watching.

I've been hyping up this giveaway for a while now...and for good reason! Right before our trip to The Creative Connection we struck up a relationship with some sweethearts at Provo Craft...this is the company behind the famous Cricut cutting machine. We got the newest Cricut right before we left for Minnesota. The 5th Anniversary Cricut Expression arrived at our door literally on the day we left for TCC...and we couldn't wait to get back home so that we could play with our new toy. Well, surprisingly enough, it turned out that Provo Craft occupied the booth next to ours at The Creative Connection vendor market. So, we actually got to preview our new toy before even opening the box...we got to play with the display model right there at the vendor market. We were amazed at it's capabilities! And the gals working the booth were total sweeties. Upon arrival back home we read the Cricut directions and toyed around with it...amazing stuff! But once again, we had to leave home...this time for Art is You. So our Cricut had to sit at home and wait for us again. We're back home now and playing with it...we will have much more detailed examples of how we put Cricut to good use...but for now let me just say that it will be instrumental in the way some of our future kits will be put together...custom stencils, die-cuts, etc...I can't wait to really get this thing cranking.
So, I know what you're thinking..."what's with all this Cricut talk?...I thought there was gonna be a giveaway."
Well, there is. As I said earlier, the Provo Craft peeps are sweethearts, and we started a little relationship with those guys. They are so sweet in fact that they offered me The Cuttlebug to give away to one lucky blog reader!! This is huge! It's a $90 item! And it's a fantastic piece of machinery. I've included a video for it here...and a video for the Cricut Expression just so you can see what I've been talking about. (and the vid for the Cuttlebug is 5 years old...man, things age fast! That's some "exciting" music!)




So this is it...the Giveaway you guys have been waiting for! The Cuttlebug!! It's sitting here in our studio still safely sealed inside the box it was shipped in. Sure I was tempted to open her up and fiddle with her a bit...but I stopped myself every time. I want the lucky winner to be the absolute first person to lay hands on this beauty! It's a die cutting and embossing machine...total professional quality. It can cut felt, chipboard, metal, papers, etc... and it's completely hand powered. The compact size of it and the fact that it's hand powered are two aspects that get me most excited. It would be so awesome to pack this little cutie for art events like Art is You. If you're the sharing type, you'd be the hit of your table!

Anyway, let's get to it. Here's how you win your Cuttlebug: I'm giving you THREE chances to win!

And one more thing. We just put our Beaux Gateaux kit in our shop. After teaching some classes that featured our Cake Art we've been getting tons of requests for kits featuring our Cakes. So Beaux Gateaux is now in the shop and we are currently working on two brand new kits featuring fabulous cake art...I hope the first one is in the shop by tomorrow. It's a super fab kit...we're just putting the finishing touches on it and we are psyched...it's one that we would buy for ourselves if we saw it for sale somewhere. That's the standards we keep for our Cake Art...it has to be something that we would adore ourselves.
Ok, that's it for now...good luck with the giveaway...and get busy with some Cake Art. Beaux Gateaux is a great kit to start with...excellent for Mom and Daughter to create together.

Good Luck!!!!
