My Two 200 Followers Giveaways

These giveaways are now closed.  The winners are announced HERE.

It seems like i have been waiting for this day for so long!  No, not necessarily because it's the eve of Valentine's Day although that is reason enough to celebrate on its own, but because i am finally able to share this post with you!  To be honest, this post was only supposed to go live on the 14th, but i couldn't wait one second longer! ;)

It's time to officially celebrate my 2nd Blogoversary (it was really at the start of January) and, most importantly, celebrate YOU, my 200+ followers!!!

Back in 2011 when i started Scrap-Utopia, i never thought i'd achieve so much out of blogging about my favorite hobby.  Since then, i have been part of many challenges and have been lucky to win my fair share of prizes and giveaways.  I have been accepted on amazing DTs and gotten to know so many talented and awesome people.  The amount of inspiration i find daily on all the blogs i visit (just look at the extensive and always growing list on my sidebar) is phenomenal and never-ending!

And, most of all, i have been blessed with so many wonderful and loyal followers!  I do appreciate and thank each and every one of you!  Your comments always put a smile on my face and the thought that any of my posts and shares might have inspired someone to create something dear to their heART is an awesome feeling.

So to celebrate my love and gratitude for you all, i am giving away a prize to not only 1 but 2 lucky followers.

Make sure to read ALL the instructions on how to enter at the bottom of this post.  I will only pick among the people who did all 3 requirements!

Giveaway #1
 There is so much stuff in this giveaway that i can't begin to list it all, but you can mostly find a little bit of everything as in BoBunny, Magenta, Prima, MayaRoad, BasicGrey, Dusty Atic, etc...

Here are close-up shots:




Sorry for the lousy pictures - i didn't have time to remove the products from their plastic packaging and i work during daylight hours so my pictures are never as good as they could be :(

Giveaway #2
This prize is a little more color-fun!  In this prize, you can find some Imaginisce, My Little Shoebox, BasicGrey, Momenta, My Mind's Eye and miscellaneous other goodies.

Close-ups:


So what do you have to do to win, you ask?

It's very simple!

1 - become a follower of my blog (if you're not already)
2 - look in my online gallery by clicking HERE
3 - come back to my BLOG and leave me a comment telling me which one of all my projects is your favorite

You are also very encouraged to post, share, tweet, whatever your social media heart desires about these giveaways although this is not a requirement to win.

I will pick a random winner out of all the commenters for giveaway #1, and then a second one for #2.
These giveaways will close at the end of day on February 28th, and are open both domestically and internationally (i am willing to go broke by paying the shipping fees!  ha!)

You will have to check back on this blog to see if you've won.  The winners will then have 1 week to contact me via email to give me their shipping info.

Please note: if you comment, and your comment doesn't appear right away, do not fret.  I have set up my spam filter so that i have to approve every comment before they show up on my post.  So it might take a couple hours to a day before they show up, but i will definitely keep that in mind near the end of the giveaway period.

Good luck everyone!

  11. Hey Nicole, congrats for the awesome achievement. I am just starting out as a blogger and crafter and glad to see that it can be done... if you work at your craft and participate in challenges, so thanks for being an inspiration! also - congrats on winning the awesome C'Est Magnifique bits giveaway. You lucky duck! I love so many of your projects but two stand out in my mind - the Story of us (Waterfall) - maybe because it is full of MME goodness and so many wonderful layers and textures... and Man - love the blues and the layers in that one. Way to go! (Yep, I am a blog follower... all the way in Oakville ON:-)

  16. Hi Nicole! You have a new follower here. I found your blog because you won the C'est Magnifique prize. Glad I did. Your work is beautiful, and I had a hard time picking just one favorite, but, I finally decided on "From This Year Forward" I love the colours and the layers, and maybe because it's Valentine's Day, I love the sappiness of it :). I'll be checking back in on a regular basis. Nice to see a "local" blog too. I live in NS.

  18. Greetings from the other side of Canada! I've been a fan and a follower for quite awhile now and the reason is because I LOVE your style of scrapping! It is very hard for me to choose just one layout of yours that I love because I love them all. I love anything with lots of color so the layouts like Wild Thing really stand out for me, but I also love the ones that just seem to blend and flow so easily with more muted color like The Story of Us. Your work is truly inspiring to me and I always find so many great ideas.

I love your two page LO's, but as far as favorites go, I would have to pick Precious furry angel and Always and forever, since that one is how I found your blog in the first place.
