Very Merry!

Posted by: Lain Ehmann
What could make for a happier day than a giveaway? Feast your eyes on these lil' cuties:



These, my friends, are the limited edition holiday squeeze punches from Fiskars! Fiskars' director of education, Stephenie Hamen, has graciously been hiding a small stash of these in-demand punches for, oh, three or four months for us. How did we rate? Well, Stephenie thinks Ella is cool (she's got good taste!). Also, it doesn't hurt that Stephenie is the absolute fave cuz of our own Jodie McNally. We're connected, baby! 

An assortment of punches will go to one lucky Ella reader. All you have to do is tell us, what topic(s) would you like to read about on this blog? Behind-the-scenes stuff? Day-to-day hijinks? Design ideas? Hmmm???

Contest closes Sunday at midnight-ish.

I like the idea of behind the scenes & day-to-day hijinks. . .I think of the actual website for ideas and inspirtation - but blogs I think should be a bit more personal. . .like a conversation. . . awesome punches btw! Hillary

More project ideas and tutorials. I love finding new ways to use things. I also love the vintage inspired things that have been posted in the past. Keep 'em coming!

I love to get some design ideas. Specially using these cute-MUST-HAVE punches. Would you mind to send them my way? ;)

I like to read about behind the scenes stuff. But, I would like to see more design ideas, pages from readers, and stuff like that. Thanks for the giveaway!

I like reading about behind-the-scenes stuff. Who is working on what, new products that may or may not hit the streets soon... I like Hillary's comment about the blog being personal and conversational, though. I like reading blog comments when they are more than "Cool idea! Yay!" or "I agree."

Day-to-day hijinks sounds good. What Ella and Friends do to fit in scrapbooking/crafting time. Where is it sprinkled throughout your homes, beyond the albums. Where you craft (basement, living room, dining room). What kind of scrappers are you LOM, chronological, album for each child. I guess the 5 W's on scrapbooking in your life. These punches would look amazing in a variety of patterned papers.

Hey Lain :) (don't put me in for the contest); but I'd love to see pages, pages, pages, and more pages. I love clever, creative, simple, beautiful scrapbooking pages, projects and mini-books - basically want some (ok A LOT of) scrapbooking eye candy from a reliable source like Ella!

I feel like such a stalker sometimes when I read blogs and Facebook, but I love reading everyone's day-to-day stuff, favorite recipes, up's and down's, favorite shopping finds, etc. And I always love to see clever ideas on how to use the latest and greatest tools and supplies in the scrapbook industry. I see stuff on store shelves, but have no idea on how to use it on layouts.

I'd love to read about design ideas :)

Love behind the scenes kind of stuff.
Posted by: jenniferlynnhansen on Thu, 12/10/2009 - 10:36
How fun! I'd love to see more design ideas.
Posted by: Britiney on Thu, 12/10/2009 - 11:05
Thanks for asking. I would love to see design ideas for pages and also for mini albums. I also love hearing about dat-to-day lives of crafters. Love the punches. Good luck to all! Leora

I always appreciate new page design ideas.
Posted by: cathy on Thu, 12/10/2009 - 11:33
I love seeing tips and quick tricks to help me be faster at this stuff - LOL!

I like all of the behind-the-scenes info. I loved the "In this issue" stuff that Angie did for SS. But also love design. I'm king of a hybrid scrapper but lean more to digital. I'm now about how much can I get on a page. Totally subscribe to the Cathy Z philosophy.
Posted by: digitaldad on Thu, 12/10/2009 - 12:30
I'd love to see more clever tricks and tips on the blog....how to stretch a buck at the LSS, clever uses for punches, etc. Behind the scenes stuff is great, too.
Posted by: kristig on Thu, 12/10/2009 - 12:39
I like behind the scenes ... and I'm also a fan of tips - using products in an untraditional manner (holiday paper for non-holiday LOs, etc.) for projects!

What cute punches!!! What do I want to read on Ella? Just about anything goes. I enjoy reading about everyday hijinks, behind the scenes (love the Q&A with the new authors), the Angie intro to Ellaments, and would love to see an Ella Friend hijack the blog for a day once in awhile. I would love to see things that people are submitting to Ella too.

I enjoy the behind the scenes AND the design ideas. If I weren't so cheap, I'd print out the articles from the e-zine, you can't look at a computer in the bathtub ;-)
Posted by: Christinethecurious on Thu, 12/10/2009 - 12:56
I would love some posts about what's inspiring you guys. Fun finds and great places to find design and scrapbooking inspiration!
Posted by: supertwinkle on Thu, 12/10/2009 - 13:17
I love behind the scenes type stuff, design advice, technique tips, a little of everything I guess :)
Posted by: rebeccak on Thu, 12/10/2009 - 13:53
I really love the behind the scenes aspect, but I also love love love technique tips. I love the ins and outs of how to do something. Thanks a ton for the chance!

I'd like page design ideas and sketches and the process of turning an idea into a page.

I like design ideas and hearing about how projects come together. I love behind the scenes stuff, especially about new products and publications. I like fun too!! I just like everything about Ella!
Posted by: albertacrystal on Thu, 12/10/2009 - 15:33
I enjoy the "behind the scenes" tidbits as well. I do like podcasts (hint*hint*) even short ones! I enjoy this website very much! Keep up the good work!
