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 card is one of the 3x4 SN@P! cards from our new Cat SN@P! Set that we introduced as part of our Winter 2014 release. Without going into a reallllly long story that spans 3 cats over 20 plus years, we currently have 2 cats. And I'm NOT a cat person. Like I said, long story. If we ever meet in person and there's a lull in our conversation, ask me about cats... Anyway, I love this devil cat card. If you've ever had a cat, I'm sure you know what I mean - sometimes they can be little devils!
Next up is Andrea Corriveau with this 4x6 card from our Everyday SN@P! Set -
When I asked Andrea why she choose this particular card, she said -
I love this card because it totally relates to my life. I laugh when I think of all the times my kids have rolled their eyes at me when I say, “Hold on while I get some pictures"! I totally have a snappy life 😊
Alissa Fast chose this 3x3 Insta-Squares card, from our new Homepsun Insta-Squares -
When I asked Alissa why she chose this card, she said -
I am still loving the chalkboard trend and I am really in love with the new square sizes of cards! Perfect with all the Instagram photos out there! The outline fount is also a favorite of mine. LOVE this card!
Allison Davis selected not one, but TWO 3x4 cards from our new Dog SN@P! Set -
According to Allison -
I picked the two cards with the wiener dog (or dachshund). The first card has the head of the dog and the second card has the tail end of the dog. We have two dachshund's, Oscar and Abbey, so I was especially drawn to those two cards. I love that the dog is split, head and tail, between the two cards! I can't wait to use those!
Next up is Cari Locken with this 4x6 card from our Everyday SN@P! Set -
When I asked Cari why she selected this card, she said
First of all I absolutely adore the chevron background and the fun font colours. That makes me happy. Second of all, this phrase is just a great reminder that everyday doesn't have to be incredibly awesome. I can always find something good in my day, no matter how small it may be - perhaps enjoying that morning cup of coffee or my kiddos making their beds in the morning!
Last up this month, but certainly NOT least, is Angella Peardon, with a twist on her card selection! Her current favorite is this 4x6 die cut card from our Say Cheese SN@P! Cuts -
Angella created this amazing house minibook, using this card as the cover!
Don't you just love that; what a great way to use one of our SN@P! Cut cards!
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 via the Rafflecopter widget below by end of day Thursday, February 6th telling me which of our 6 cards is your favorite and why. On Friday I'll draw one random lucky winner to win not only the cards we selected, but the rest of the cards that are included with each package the cards are from - that's 180 fabulous Simple Stories cards, people!
Cat SN@P! Set - 3x4 Cards
Everyday SN@P! Set - 4x6 Cards
Homespun Insta-Squares
Dog SN@P! Set - 3x4 Cards
Say Cheese SN@P! Cuts
WOW! That's a lot of card goodness if I do say so myself. Good luck!

Posted by: Miriam Prantner | January 31, 2014 at 05:01 AM
Great cards! While the stars may be the most useful to me, the devil cat just makes me laugh- he's a riot!

My Favorite is the card chosen by Cari from the Everyday SN@P set. I love real life quotes that make you stop and really think. I love to add them to my album in random places!
Posted by: Chris Pereira | January 31, 2014 at 08:06 AM
My favorite is the cat card, but I want the dog set -I am not a cat person either. Which is why the card is so cute & funny. LOL

I pick the CAT....because CATs RULE! I especially love this card because all felines have a little devil in them from time to time....and this one is especially cute!
Posted by: Cheryl | January 31, 2014 at 08:53 AM
I love Allison's choice of the two dog cards! I am drooling over the entire dog set though, so it was an easy choice for me. :)

Tuff to choose just one... I'm going with the 4x6 Everyday because the quote says it correctly! The colours are cheerful too which is a good thing in my day :)
Posted by: Sleigh | January 31, 2014 at 09:56 AM
I think the house album with the camera card is my favorite. You can stand it up as a decoration as well as being a place to store memories. All of the cards were great - hated to have to pick just one. thanks for the chance to win the house.
Posted by: marylouh | January 31, 2014 at 10:01 AM
I really like the "it's a snappy life cards".

Love the Everyday…card it describes my life perfect! Great quote
Posted by: Vanessa Babin | January 31, 2014 at 10:13 AM
So fun! Must be hard to pick just one. I think the "It's a snappy life" one is my fave of the ones above, though.
Posted by: Samantha T. | January 31, 2014 at 10:14 AM
I LOVE the one that Cari picked from the Everyday SN@P set... it is pretty much my daily motto. Love all the card picks!
Posted by: Nicole Bell | January 31, 2014 at 10:22 AM
The dog snap set...oh so cute!
Posted by: Cathy Harper | January 31, 2014 at 10:34 AM
So hard to pick just one as I LOVE all your products!! Am so eager to get my hands on all the new stuff!! I guess.... I'd have to choose the dog card - too cute, split on two cards, even cuter! Plus I can't wait to get the new dog kit so I can do an album on my adorable dog!!!
Posted by: Christine Kelly | January 31, 2014 at 11:00 AM
May favorite card is from the Say Cheese collection. You can do so much with the open ended stars!!
Posted by: Janetta Zeimetz | January 31, 2014 at 11:03 AM
Oh I just love the Dachshund cards too. I have a Basset Hound, so although she would make several doxies the cards would look so sweet in my pocket album beside her photographs.
Posted by: Lynn McG.-E. | January 31, 2014 at 11:11 AM
I love the "Everyday" card. What a great sentiment to send to others. We all need to be reminded to find the good in life when things are tough! Thanks for the chance to win some goodies!
Posted by: Amy Cooley | January 31, 2014 at 11:16 AM

Posted by: Vicki Wigton | January 31, 2014 at 11:21 AM
I'm totally in love with the camera card because it's in color! And I take a million photos (like most ladies here I'm sure)
Posted by: Lauren shiflett | January 31, 2014 at 11:41 AM
I like the Everyday may not be a good day...beacause of the rainbow colours and chevrons but also because of the truth to that saying.
Posted by: Mary-Anne V. | January 31, 2014 at 11:44 AM
Love the cat card. It would be perfect to document my fur baby, Capt Chaos. I think his name says it all. LOL!!
Posted by: Janet MacKay | January 31, 2014 at 11:51 AM
I LOVE that Devil Cat card!
I adopted a cat from our local shelter this past October. His name is Houdini!! I so love him, but he can definitely be the little devil sometimes!
Posted by: Lynn F | January 31, 2014 at 11:58 AM
I love the dog cards. My dog is in my Project life album more than the kids and can't wait until our shops start stocking this one. :)
Posted by: Vicki Parker | January 31, 2014 at 12:17 PM
My favourite is Cari's pick. The neutral background and multi coloured taxes means this card could go with anything.
Posted by: Jo-Lee Kelly | January 31, 2014 at 12:21 PM

SUCH A HARD choice - I have shortlisted it down to two:
Cari's EVERYDAY card because it makes me look for the goodness in everything
and
Angella's starry die cut card because it adds a touch of magic and dimension.
=> my favourite is Angella's starry card because I am new to die cutting, loving the dimension they add and these pretty stars are perfect to go with all of my family, who are the stars of my life!!!

Posted by: Hattie | February 01, 2014 at 07:16 AM
The " Everyday " is great I really like the quote because it relates to Real Life. The chevron pattern with bright colors is Awesome!
The " Snappy Life " is also awesome because without all of the photos we would not be scrapers.
Thanks for sharing and a chance to win.
