It’s a SUNNY day here in Beijing! I am loving the warming of the weather. I actually walked out of the house without a jacket last night, and didn’t feel a chill! That is so nice.
As promised, here is another chance for 5 LUCKY winners! Today, I have a bunch of the NEW releases from CHA… the ‘SUMMER SUN’ collection.
Since i have a HUGE stack of ‘summer sunny’ kind of photos thanks to our Australia trip over Christmas, this has been a fav, and I am completely OUT of every shred of it. it’s fUN stuff! The PRIZE package today includes 2 of each paper (all 6 doubled sided designs) and the border sheets. Now the cool thing about these papers are the ‘built in embellishments’… some are die cut right out of the paper and some are included on the tear off flap. I LOVE that!.
You also get the matchy-match stickers, and the black and white letter stickers- and while these may not seem NEW, they are a ‘back-by-popular-demand’ product. I am also throwing in the fabulous NEW chipboard letter booklet. There are about a million letters, lots of different fonts, and sizes and the look is unique. They are a thin-chipboard, self-adhesive.. and fun to mix and match.. you can see them more upclose on the layouts I posted a couple days ago (eric and Capri on the beach). They come in 2 colors, but I am sending the blue/green ones w/ this set. The winners will also get a purse clip!
these papers are also available for purchase HERE:
the borders sheets of all the sets are my favorite... there is so much you can do with them!
this Palm Tree paper is one of my favs of the set.
in this paper, the "sun" pops up.
you can check this all out in my CHA winter catalog...
So leave me a comment telling me what memories YOU have that would look PERFECT on these papers!
and it's Q's turn to pick the LUCKY numbers!
good luck!

















These are super fun, love the embellies already on the page. I know exactly what I would do with these since family are visiting Dubai over Easter and there will be a zillion shots of the cousins enjoying time together at the beach and pool, woo hoo! Sue

I am in the process of doing the housewarming kit, I just love it. I have been taking photos around our house, we plan to build later on and I want our kids to remember where they spent their baby/toddler years. These papers are the colour of my two boys rooms, they will make gorgeous lay outs.

Our summer memories would look perfect on this paper set....first time we took the kids to the beach, playing in the pool in the backyard, eating ice cream to beat the AZ heat. That's the kinds of layouts that pop into my head when I see these papers. Love them.

I have tons of pictures of my girls in their swimsuits at the lake; playing in the water, eating popsicles, roasting marshmallows...the summer pics are endless. I would have a blast matching them up with those super-delish products!!

We're finalizing the details on a Girls Weekend to the Bahamas to celebrate my friend's 30th and I'd love to use these papers & embellishments to capture the memories we're sure to make! Question: If 40 is the new 20, does that mean that 30 is the new 10!?!?!?! LOL.

Hi Heidi,
I to have plenty of wonderful Summer Christmas photos from last Christmas. We spent it at the beautiful beaches of Port Macquarie NSW Australia.
There is nothing quite like the sun, surf and sand to soothe the soul and have plenty of fun.

I love this giveaway, so beautiful! My memories that would go great with these papers aren't exactly mine. They are my Mama's from when she went to Hawaii with her Mama in 1974. These pictures have been in my scrap box for several years. The products out their just never caught my attention, but these papers seem just perfect. Thank you for the chance. :D

I have 3 daughters (all are complete "girly girls"), and these colors are just a staple in our world!!! I have some darling summer photos that involve lots of sherbert ice cream...and this wonderful package of eye candy is ideal for a mini album to feature them. Wait!!! There are so many goodies, I'll bet I could make 3, one for each girl! YOU are so very generous Heidi!

What a wonderful collection! I know exactly what I would scrap with it. We vacation every summer with a large group of my cousins and all of our kids. To be together we travel from around the world, some of us from Canada, the United States and as far away as Ireland. It's wonderful to watch our kids all grow up building memories together and knowing each other even though we live so far apart. It takes planning, effort (and money), but it's so worth it! Photos from our latest vacation together is what I would scrap with this great collection. Thanks for offering the chance to win!

These papers would be perfect for my photos of my children learning to surf (a very funny thing to watch) last year at Coffs Harbour :)

wow, I just got back from a short break in Sydney with my four beautiful kids. Visiting their grandparents, we were blessed with some lovely warm autumn weather and spent our days at the park, beach, zoo and pool. Having snapped four hundred plus photo's these papers would be a great way to show off our carefree days in the sunshine of Sydney. Leonie

I fell in love with these papers on the Ultimate Scrapbook Cruise and have been so anxious to get my hands on some. They would be perfect to scrap all the photos from the cruise.

Iread great reviews of the black and white stickers on thescrapreview.com. We went to the Caribbean at Xmas and those papers would be perfect for all of those photos.

I have some pics that my dad had taken of our family weekend at the beach at Bolsa Chica. Family drove from Tuscon, Arizona to visit and we barbecued, made sand castles, played football on the beach and body surfed. It was a great time!
