AS PROMISED.... a Free Spirit Giveaway!!

Okay, so I promised you all a FREE SPIRIT goodie-bag giveaway today! Here you have it! First I'm going to share some more amazing pages and projects... 

First, check out this FUN page from Laura Vegas, who found Free Spirit to be the perfect collection to showcase her teen daughter's favorite things and what she's into...  

Cute, huh?? Nice job, Laura~

Then, a couple of nice little works of art from Biker Chick Renee Foss... How's this for throw-back?? Remember these acrylic photo cubes on Grandma's coffee table?? Right next to that cluster of giant glass grapes?? :) Renee's is updated and fresh.... What a fun way to showcase some favorite photos~ 

... and then a tastefully simple, striking layout from Renee again.  What teen or tween (or free spirit of any age, for that matter) wouldn't love this page?

... and last, but not least, for today.....  a fresh little card from our Cardmaker Extraordinaire and Biker Chick Jen Gallacher. 

 
 Okay, okay, now for that giveaway.... Hmmm.... Here's what I want to hear from you... Tell me, in 20 words or less what your favorite possession was during the 60's or 70's, and why. :)  This should be fun.  I love hearing from you all!

Loved those groovey fashions back then! {wink}

My fave possession was also a big secret! It was my soft yellow blankey I had since I was born.

I totally love the new collection, my bedroom was done orange, lime green and yellow--such memories of the 70's!
