Their online store has some of the latest scrapping stuff around. They also offer lots of other fun stuff on their site from challenges to an awesome COCO-LICIOUS GALLERY with some great projects made from their Design team...So do stop on by and do a little COCO-LICIOUS SHOPPING.
Our 2ND prize sponsor is another online store called:
and oh my their stamps are totally SWEET AND SASSY
They have some of the most sweetest stamps I have ever laid my eyes on...Here is a little bit about
In the fall of 2007, I was on a mission to find a cute knight stamp I could use for my son's 5Th birthday party invitations. I scoured the Internet, but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, so I decided I'd try my hand at drawing one.
I thought my knight turned out pretty cute. My intention was to photocopy my drawing, but after sharing one of the invitations on my blog, I found that others wanted him, too!
The encouragement from my family and friends was all it took and I decided to pursue the creation of my own line of stamps. So here I am, and it's been one awesome ride! I hope you'll join me as I continue on this journey.

Isn't this Moose the cutest ever, it comes from their new Christmas Collection...I think I might have to get this myself...
OKAY now for the DETAILS of the CONTEST
This one is going to be easy and a lot of fun.
Because I like EVERYONE to be able to participate with certain cartridges that I know everyone has, you need to use either the circle cut from either of the following cartridges:
PLANTIN SCHOOLBOOK
GEORGE CARTRIDGE
ACCENT ESSENTIALS
BUT
you need to make the CIRCLE into some type of
CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT
You can do a layout, card, altered item, etc.
You just need to make sure that there is AN ORNAMENT on your project
made using either of the cartridges...
by the way on the ACCENT ESSENTIALS cart. there are several solid circles.
so
1. Create a Christmas Ornament using the CIRCLE cut from either of the listed cartridges above.
2. You can only enter 2 projects per person.
3. Everyone is welcome to enter...no matter where you live (smile)
4. Please link your project in the comment section of this thread...also your link should go DIRECTLY to your project...please don't put in the comments you can find my project on my blog....because sometimes I can't.....
5. Prior bbtb winners are welcome to enter.
6. BBTB team members are not allowed to enter. (sorry)
7. Contest will run from 10/06 - 10/27 at midnight (pacific standard time)
8. HAVE FUN

Good luck everyone! We are looking forward to meeting some great new Coconut Friends! :)
good luck to all... I dont know if I'll have time to enter. We'll see.
Would the circle from the Plantain Schoolbook cartridge be acceptable? I bought the Expression and it came with that cartridge instead of George. If not it isn't a problem. I am looking forward to see what everyone comes up with.
I just found your blog and am so excited to participate! I'm sad I missed the pear challenge. I actually just made a card and am working on a layout using the pear. If you are interested in see them here is the link:

Be back with more soon!
Hi Beate, yes you can use the plantin schoolbook. I need to put that in the rules for the contest...I thought the expression came with the accents also....
Thanks Regina. I'm really excited about the contest. I think that some of the Expressions may come packaged like that. Mine did not though :( I can't wait to get started!
This one was so fun! Here's my entry. :) Cheri

I have a LO that I would like to enter into this contest, however I don't have a blog. I was just wondering if there is a way to enter without having a blog?
Hi Christy, you can either email the layout to me or upload it to a gallery somewhere on the internet and then put a link here in the comments as to where the layout can be found...
I love seeing all the fabulous creations you have all done for this contest. Good luck everyone.

Thank you!!
I wasn't sure about this ... I thought of a few different things and this came to mind after hubby and I wanted to do something a little different with our son this year. We made an Activity Advent Calendar. We have used advent calendars in the past, but this is a family activity one. I have explained a little more on my blog the picture is here. http://leahscarddesigns.blogspot.com/2008/10/bbtb-contest-christmas-family-countdown.html
I've been an admirer of the site for awhile now, but have never posted/submitted anything. Well, here's my entry, I took a few pictures to get a more complete view of it. I included descriptions of everything with the pictures on Photobucket. Thanks, Melissa ;)
P.S. Everyone else's entries look wonderful, I've certainly had my work cut out for me!

Here is my first entry for the ornament contest. I embossed the circle with the circle cuttlebug embosser and sanded to show the white core of the cardstock. I used silver stickles on the snowflakes to make them stand out. I don't think my picture show these details very well.
http://i419.photobucket.com/albums/pp277/scuba4two/FSCN1194.jpg
Here is my 2nd entry for the contest. I embossed the circle wiht the swirl cuttlebug embossing folder and inked with gold ink and inked all edges. It says Merry Chrismoose. My pictures did not turn out very well. I hope you can see them well enough. Thanks and good luck to everyone.
