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 3x4 card is from our Daily Grind 3x4 Journaling Card Elements. I love the versatility of this card; it can really be used for anything! Between the kraft colored background, the light colored months and then the brightly colored months mixed in for random pops of color, it just makes me happy :)
Next up is Donna Jannuzzi with this 3x4 card from our new Travel SN@P! Set (shipping in March!) -
When I asked Donna why she chose this card, she said -
"I love this card because I happen to be drawn to travel lines. I thought the combination of the map background with the pretty script font was interesting. Plus, this card could be used for a few different themes, not just travel, which makes it both cute and versatile"!
Emily Lanham chose this 4x6 card from our A Charmed Life collection -
When I asked Emily why she chose this card, she said -
"This is one of my favorite cards because the saying is SO true. I treasure all of my friends, though they have thinned out over the years, the ones that have stuck around through thick and thin are TRUE friends and I feel very lucky & blessed to have them in my life".
Heather Leopard selected this 3x4 card, also from the A Charmed Life collection -
According to Heather -
"I love it because it's a new twist on making a list for your journaling. Pie charts are still oh so trendy and I love that you can add elements of your day, your trip, or whatever moments or events you are documenting in or around each section of the pie chart and journal about that part of the moment in the color coordinated lines below. How cool is that?!?! I love it and am using it the next time I sit down at my craft table"!
Next up is Kim Kesti with this 3x4 card from our Baby Girl SN@P! Set -
When I asked Kim why she selected this particular card, she said -
"As a cardmaker, anything that makes my life easier is a big plus. I just love all the cards in the SN@P! Baby Girl pack, but this "Love You to the Moon and Back" card is extra special. It has a cute graphic design and a great sentiment all rolled into one. I know that I can add a card stock mat, a few stickers and some ribbon and end up with a really special card in no time flat".
Last up this month is Kristine Davidson with this 3x4 card from our new Cat SN@P! Set (also shipping in March!) -
Kristine loves this card because -
"As a cat lover I laughed when I saw this and remembered a trip my husband and I took last summer. This older gentleman was on a motorized bicycle and his cat was sitting on his lap. As he crossed the busy street he said " Hold On Mr. Whiskers" and of course hubby and I thought it was the cutest and funniest thing ever. We could just imagine the chaos our cat Eddie would cause if we tried this with him! This card makes me smile ;-) ".
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, March 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 all of these fabulous Simple Stories cards that you see below, people!
WOW! That's a lot of card goodness if I do say so myself. Good luck!

I would choose the Travel card. But then I saw the cat - love it.

I loveeeeeeeee the Lucky/Friend card!!!!!!!
Posted by: Julie Tucker-Wolek | February 28, 2014 at 03:50 AM
The baby cards are so cute (I'm using the boy version now) - but I would choose the Travel card. I love that it's really good for anything - and not a specific type of trip (road trip, too beachy/tropical, etc ...).
Posted by: Amy W | February 28, 2014 at 04:09 AM
LOVE the travel card! Anything with a map catches my eye since most of my scrapbooking is about our travels. Cute sentiment, too!
Posted by: Peggy A | February 28, 2014 at 04:20 AM
Love the Love you to the moon and back. Love it's colour and perfect for pages I usually do for my DD.
Posted by: Irma | February 28, 2014 at 04:37 AM
The cat in the bicycle basket is my favorite! My cats love to squeeze into all kinds of baskets, boxes, nooks and crannies to feel safe and secure. I think the Cat Snap cards are the cat's meow!! ;)
Posted by: Lu L. | February 28, 2014 at 04:37 AM
Travel cards definitely - I love anything with a map!
Posted by: Patty C | February 28, 2014 at 04:47 AM
Love You To The Moon and Back! That is what my little boy tells me everyday!

Posted by: Rebecca Burnsworth | February 28, 2014 at 07:13 AM
I love the months card. Could fit that into a pocket on pretty much any type of page!
Posted by: Theresa | February 28, 2014 at 07:34 AM
I love the one with the cat! Mostly because I put my dog in my bicycle basket and take her for rides :-D
Posted by: Maddie | February 28, 2014 at 07:52 AM
I love you to the moon and back, It reminds me of my kidos, True love happens when you become a parent. I never understood that until I became one. It is an endless love.....I just love the saying.
Posted by: Heather Thompson | February 28, 2014 at 08:05 AM
I love the friends/lucky card! The saying is so true and a perfect got for all of my friends :)
Posted by: Jillian Austin | February 28, 2014 at 08:07 AM
All of those picked cards are sweet! My favorite is the Travel card..."I'll go anywhere with you." This was not an easy pick! Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Janetta Zeimetz | February 28, 2014 at 08:07 AM

Posted by: Tanya Wilson | February 28, 2014 at 08:18 AM
The Cat card is my favorite...it put a smile on my face when I saw it.

Posted by: sandy sh | February 28, 2014 at 08:34 AM
I love the friends card! The green is an eye catcher and the saying is so true!
Posted by: Ashley Counts | February 28, 2014 at 08:34 AM
I love the cat card! It seems like something my dad would do - taking his cat Daisy on a bike ride.
Posted by: Kacy Tewell | February 28, 2014 at 08:39 AM
My favorite card is the Daily Grind card with the months printed on it! It's so versatile for lots of projects!

The cats are so cute but I don't have one so I'd definitely pick travel! That is my favorite besides scrapbooking! :-) Thanks!
Posted by: Kelly Massman | February 28, 2014 at 11:03 AM
Love, love, love the cat card!! I actually am in love with the whole cat set and can't wait to get my hands on the whole kit-kat and kaboodle!! Hee!Hee! The set is going to be the perfect backdrop for our cat, Caillou, who is settling quite nicely into our family.
Posted by: Aurelie | February 28, 2014 at 11:04 AM

Posted by: Laurie | February 28, 2014 at 01:09 PM
The LUCKY card from Charmed Life is my favorite. I am so fortunate to still have my best friends from high school in my life. Our high school mascot is the shamrock! So that doubles the luck!
Posted by: christi in ma | February 28, 2014 at 01:20 PM
Travel card it is!
Posted by: Jaya | February 28, 2014 at 01:21 PM

Posted by: Marisa | February 28, 2014 at 02:47 PM
The 'I'll go anywhere with you' travel card is my favorite. It pretty much sums up all my travel experiences with my husband.
Posted by: Elaine W. | February 28, 2014 at 02:48 PM
I love the charmed life.... I'm very bad at journaling. This would make me stop, think and complete my page. Thank you!
Posted by: Sue Kirby | February 28, 2014 at 02:50 PM
I like the " I'll go Anywhere With You " card. I like because my hubby and I have been saying that for the last 25 years. Thanks for a chance.

Posted by: Sandy | February 28, 2014 at 04:44 PM
I have to agree with Kristine as I am also a cat lover. However a friend just had her 1st baby girl so I am thinking of making her a Snap baby album with the baby cards!

Posted by: Beth N. | February 28, 2014 at 06:29 PM
Love You to the Moon and Back is my favorite because I said it to my two children when they were young and I continue to say it to my Kindergarten class at the end of each day as part of our goodbyes.
Posted by: Ada | February 28, 2014 at 06:37 PM
Love the travel theme since I love to travel. So many places to go and so little time.
Posted by: Jeri | February 28, 2014 at 06:40 PM
The first two cards would get used right away in my PL album, but it's the cat card that steals my heart!
Posted by: Karen | February 28, 2014 at 06:41 PM
I love the "I'll go anywhere with you" card, because I say this to my husband all the time. :)

Love Layle's pick. It can be used on any page :)
Posted by: jpscraps | March 01, 2014 at 07:31 AM
I was immediately drawn to the travel card, as I am a sucker for map prints, but the kraft card with the months and the Lucky card, ooh they are all fab, but my fave is still the travel card!
Posted by: Lauren E | March 01, 2014 at 08:11 AM
Absolutely love the whole Cat Sn@p collection, especially since the loss of one of my beloved kitties is what got me interested in scrapbooking in the first place. So if you send me some furry love cards, I'd be most grateful! Great giveaway!
Posted by: Nicky | March 01, 2014 at 08:30 AM
Oooh, difficult choice.....the cat, of course, because I am a cat lady.....but love the pie chart because it is so versatile and Just used the "to the moon and back," so love that!
Posted by: Deb Wohlleben | March 01, 2014 at 10:24 AM
Oh so hard to pick - can I admit I love them all?! Ok ok picking my most favorite ... Travel SN@P Set for sure! The set is perfect for travel but it is also wonderful for every day events and cards!
Posted by: Brande@ Scrapstorian | March 01, 2014 at 11:02 AM
The Daily Grind card is my favorite due to the colors and versatility. I did however chuckle at Kristine's story about the man on the bike and the cat. =^_^=
Posted by: Jaiden Jameson | March 01, 2014 at 02:09 PM
Love to the moon and back. The yellow and gray color combo is my favorite!
Posted by: Michelle Price | March 01, 2014 at 09:28 PM
I choose the "love you to the moon and back" card...although they are all awesome. We recently had a baby girl so this card would fit perfect into her new baby book as well as the daily album for the week of her birth. Can't wait to get the entire package for her!!
Posted by: Jody | March 02, 2014 at 06:34 AM
I love all the cards from the Travel Sn@p Set especially the black and white camera card.
Posted by: Sandi Pressley | March 02, 2014 at 09:33 AM
I just love the travel card especially as we are planning to travel a bit this year. Can't wait for it to be in our shops here :)
Posted by: Vicki Parker | March 02, 2014 at 10:47 AM
My fave card is the "I'll go anywhere with you" because it can mean different things - such as, you would travel anywhere with someone or that you'll go everywhere with them in life. I love that card! Thanks so much for this amazing give-away!
Posted by: Amber M. | March 02, 2014 at 10:48 AM
These are beautiful! I love the "to the moon and back card!"!
Posted by: doreen | March 02, 2014 at 11:49 AM

Posted by: Rashidah | March 02, 2014 at 01:11 PM
I choose the Travel Snap Cards. I love the sentiment.
Posted by: Maria B. | March 02, 2014 at 01:15 PM
I love the Snap Dog. You don't find a lot of cordinating pet set very often. This is perfect.
Posted by: Pam Makis | March 02, 2014 at 01:27 PM
I would choose the travel card because I love travel, and I LOVE taking trips with family & friends, and most specifically my husband. We are actually planning our next trip right now, to see my sister in Louisiana.
Thanks for such a fund giveaway! I'm kind of addicted to Simple Stories. :)

Posted by: Robin B. | March 02, 2014 at 06:31 PM
I've used the baby moon one for a baby girl mini album I'm making for my best friend's new baby - so I love that one in real life. But, the kitty in the bicycle basket cracks me up - I'm a cat lover!

Posted by: Janine W | March 03, 2014 at 11:16 PM
I don't usually go for the baby stuff but this collection is making me want to get out all those old photos and FINALLY get it done!
Posted by: jody | March 04, 2014 at 09:24 AM
I would say the Friend one because my friends are SO important to me. They are such a support.
Posted by: Sandy | March 04, 2014 at 10:18 AM
Cant decide between love you to the moon and back or I'll go anywhere with you.
