Hi there, Layle with you today for another round of Pick a Card, Any Card!
Each month, 5 of our design team members and I will be picking one of our favorite Simple Stories or SN@P! 3x4 or 4x6 cards and sharing them with you - in more ways than one! We've introduced so many GREAT cards over the last few years that I thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite cards each month, tell you why they're our favorites and then give you a chance to win not only the specific cards that we picked, but the other cards they're paired up with as part of the set (more on that fun giveaway at the end of this post)!
If you missed last month's picks, you can see them here.
To kick off this month's version of Pick a Card, Any Card, here's one of my favorites -
This 4x6 card is from our Love SN@P! Set. I love the chalkboard background of the card, the contrast of the white upper case text and that cute little red heart. Here's a quick layout I made using this card -
Next up is Yuki Shimada with this 3x4 card from our Christmas SN@P! Set -
When I asked Yuki why she chose this card, she said -
This card is just cute and it makes me smile. White whipped cream on the top of the red cup reminds me of milk foam on my kid’s upper lip. This card is perfect for the everyday scene in the winter season. I’d like to use it for my layout of warm and loving home!
Alissa Fast chose this 3x4 card from our Her SN@P! Set -
When I asked Alissa why she chose this card, she said -
I love all things chalkboard and the old phone is just so cute. Also, I'm still loving the song from 2012. It's just a fun card.
Next up is Tonya Dirk with this 4x6 card from our Baby Boy SN@P! Set -
First of all, how can you go wrong with those darling elephants? The versatility of this card is what I love most though. It is one that can be used on any type of project…a layout, a card, Life Documented, or home decor. A bonus is that it would work for baby all the way up to a young boy. Let's not forget that backside with those diagonal stripes in a great color scheme!
Vicki Boutin selected this 3x4 card from our Everyday SN@P! Set - Vicki picked this card because -
The Insta Love card was made for me!! It is from the Everyday Life SN@P! Set which happens to be covered in all of my favourite colours!!!! The card also has lots of mini cameras and cameras are one of my fav design motifs! And finally, I love the ability to take and edit photos with all of the fun aps available. Love. This. Card.
We wrap it up this month with Allison Landy's favorite 3x4 card, from the Daily Grind SN@P! Cards -
This is Allison's current favorite card because -
Being a big fan of the Life Documented process, but not having much beyond school, work, and dogs in my life these days, the simple everyday moments are truly all I am about. This Everyday card is simple and understated, recognizing that not every day is the "best day ever." Sometimes, it's just the simple, everyday cup of coffee, or the everyday commute to work, or the everyday hello that the stranger on the bus gives us each morning that make up a beautiful and full life. I can't wait to use this card in my album for exactly that - to celebrate all those simple everyday moments.
So, what do you think? How about those picks - pretty fun, right?!
OK, now to more good stuff. At the beginning of this post I mentioned something about a giveaway! Enter below by end of day Friday, December 6th (WHAT! December already? !!) telling me which of our 6 cards is your favorite and why. Check back on this post on Sunday the 8th, where I'll announce the one random lucky winner to win ALL of these cards -
Love 4x6 SN@P! Cards
Christmas 3x4 SN@P! Cards
Her 3x4 SN@P! Cards
Baby Boy 4x6 SN@P! Cards
Everyday 3x4 SN@P! Cards
Daily Grind SN@P! Cards
The randomn lucky winner is Collins! Congratulations!

Posted by: Angie | December 03, 2013 at 11:02 AM
I love all of them but having to choose one I would say it's the love story one. It's very simple, love the chalkboard design and the little heart for the period gives it a touch of color.

I love the love story card. It reminds me that I need to document my love story with mt husband.
Posted by: ConnieC | December 04, 2013 at 10:36 AM
They are all great cards but "Everybody's Love Story Is Beautiful..." is my favorite! My hubby literally brought me back from the dead a few years ago and things have been very chaotic health wise since then but our love has just grown stronger through it all. He shows me every single day how much he loves me. He does not say those three little words very often but his actions are what means the most to me!
Posted by: barbara macaskill | December 04, 2013 at 07:26 PM
All cards are awesome but I like the baby boy set best for my little one!!
Posted by: Ray Lewis | December 04, 2013 at 09:14 PM
The 'love you a ton' is adorable, I'd have to say it's my favorite.
Posted by: ESB | December 05, 2013 at 07:23 AM
