March Stamps Giveaway!!

It's that time again of the month! I'm giving away the "Key" stamp set above to one lucky winner. I've designed this stamp set exclusively for QKD's March Get Inked! Kit.

I design these stamps with the thought of every single thing, happenings and people in our lives are keys to us. They help us to open the door to a new day, a new chapter and a new vision to our lives. So, in order for you to enter for a chance to win this stamp set, post a comment here and tell me a key in your life. It can be a happening, a person or something.

I'll be announcing the winner on the 26th March. The winner will have to create at least a project with this stamp set and it'll be featured here on my blog.

I'll be posting some projects using these stamps in the next few days. If you don't want to risk and want that stamp to follow along the tutorials, you could still get the kit. There are only a few left. Click here to get your kit now.

For those of you that wants to attend a workshop with me, I'll be having one workshop soon in Kuala Lumpur. Do keep an eye for the details on my blog next week. I can only have very limited number of people for this workshop.

Good Luck everyone!

Oh I love to do that dear! Perfect for my birthday..lol..im really crossing anything that I could to grab those drooling RAK! My key in my life is my faith to God. I had so much troubles since I was a child but He was so kind to blessed me with a loving family and husband to overcome those trials. My faith is my key to the happiness that Im experiencing now. It opened doors for me that I havent seen before. My faith opened my eyes to see things and find my happiness on my ordinary days. Thats my key hun! thanks again for this RAK. And you inspire me a lot,thanks for sharing your ideas and works to us.Hugs!

What a wonderful stamp set! You are truly talented. Thanks for the generosity sweetie.

The key to my life is having a positive view towards it. I count my blessings and try my best to see the good things life offers and turns my problems to challenges that needs to be conquered.

Lovely stamp set Irene. I'm definitely in. I have a duplicate key set and they are my two daughters being 25 yrs and 20 yrs old. I had 10 miscarriages to get my two precious girls and my life forever changed when I finally had them. I am truly blessed to be a mother. They hold duplicate keys to my heart for always.

I love this set! I have looked at it a dozens times.

A key in my life...Well you usually carry a whole set right. My husband, my children, my passion for creating, health and happiness.

Lynna said...

Great set of stamps! I have always had a fondness of keys. As a kid, I collected many different kinds. I just wish I could have figured out what the opened...

The biggest key in my life now is my husband. He supports our family as I am unable to work due to health problems. He also supports and pushes me to be as creative as I can be. He believes in me even when I doubt my work.

WOW, lovely stamps!

Peggy said...

Like all the others, I have many keys in my life, which is why these set of stamps particularly is so interesting, they could be used over and over again, the possibilities are endless. My favorite however is the lock and the hinge, this would be great to create the look of a mini-booklet.
Thanks for giving us a chance to win these.

These stamps are really gorgeous ! Keys in my life are all the moments I pass with my family and particularly with my children : they grow so fast that we have to enjoy every minute passed together !
Thanks for sharing all these techniques with us, and for your give aways

Hello Irene
I intended one of your class in Paris last year, and I’m about to finish (at last) the mini I started !
The key to my life… could be my son, my DH, my family, my friends, all that makes your life beautiful… but selfishly I will answer most certainly flowers. They just enhance my life when they bloom, by their fragrance, or fragile beauty. It just moves me each time I see one. It makes me feel happy to receive a bunch of flowers. Definitely a key to my happiness !

Priscilla said...

I have many keys, on my key ring. But my main key that gets me into everything in life is my faith in Jesus Chirst. He has allowed me to have all the other keys in life. Like my family, he just gave me my most recent key, a shiney new one who is my husband he is my everything I am truly blessed in life. If it weren't for the main key Jesus I would have none of the other things in life. That key opens all doors in life, the most important key of all.

These are very cool stamps!! A key in my life is my husband. He is the best friend I could ever want, he is an amazing husband, and a great partner. He enjoys doing everything with me - even scrapbook shopping (maybe he doesn't enjoy it, but he does it!).

The key that unlocked my soul was God's gift of motherhood. My children bring out the best, the purests part of me. Love without expectation, finding joy in the smallest things, giving of myself 100%, being present!

Love your blog! I learned so many new things I never thought possible in scrapbooking.
The key in my life is Jesus Christ, without Him I would have nothing.

This is such a wonderful stamp set!! Love it!!
The key in my life is my family, my husband and 2 sons. They make me want to be a better person. They make me want to try harder and never give up. They make me laugh when I'm sad. They remind me to cherish the good times and never take them for granted. All of these things are 'key' to living a happy, contented life.

Oh, this stamp set is so beautiful. My number one key in my life is me making something of myself. I have been attending college for the past 3 years seeking my Ass. degree in Nursing and I 1 year left.

By carring this key, I can unlock doors for myself and family. And strengthen the role model that I have become to my only daughter.

Great design on those key stamps Irene. It'd be a pleasure to win them from you and to use them for they key in my life: faith, hope, love and a good sense of humor in my daily life.

Christine said...

The key to my live is my husband and my daughter. My husband who went through a rough time with alochol and having a hard time being a husband and a father came to a eye awaking moment when he felt God reach out and save him from his sadness. My daughter who did not have a dad pretty much the first 4 years of her life and seeing the love in her heart for her father who has been sober for over 8 years. He is the best husband and father he is the key to our happiness really, without him it would have been very lonely. Just when you think things cannot get worse God steps in so guess who I think is the biggest key GOD.

I love your website it gives me so many wonderful ideas! Love your new stamp set!

Nikki Love said...

I love the stamps. And I like keys. Keys open doors to opportunity. The biggest key we have is to know who we are and where we are going. We can do that better knowing where we've been and where we came from. A key is also being true to yourself and trying to improve every day - to become the best we can be. We are the key, the key to the future. The key to our own happiness.

What a cute stamp set!

The keys to my life are my husband and my children. My husband just returned home from a year long deployment in Iraq. I never realized how much he is the "key" to my balance and sometimes my sanity! He holds the key to my heart forever. My kids are precious little keys in that everyday, they unlock a smile and many many laughs.

Love this stamp set! and your blog. going to add it to my favs on my blog! lol

i've been reading the comments, and someone said something about we have a whole set of keys. that is so true. the keys in my life are the Lord Jesus Christ, my son, my husband, and as crazy as it sounds - my illness. being in pain a great deal of the time makes you appreciate so much. those other keys i mentioned - they give me the love and strength to deal with that pain when it gets to be too much!

What a lovely set of stamps !!!! I love it !!!
A key in my life? In the first one, Alain my husband (even if he died in July, 2005, he is always in my heart). Then my 3 children Cédric, Romain and Luc. And in third, my 3 beautiful grandchildren Emma, Lucas and Flora. In fact, the key of my life, it is my family, it is it which supported me in the difficult moments and made me keep hope in the future.

Hi Irene,

I think the key to my life started when I met my husband and I truly knew he was my soulmate....
We've been thru ups and downs and lots of highs and lows but I couldn't live a day without him....
He enables me to scrap and gives me the money but also the time to do this and is my biggest supporter when my mojo goes....

Norunn said...

Gorgeous creations you have made with this great set of stamps! :)

The 3 keys in my life are my family, my friends and my faith. Without support from these keys, life's journey would be so difficult. A tiny additional key is ART - in all it's glorious forms! thank you for sharing your ART with us~Laura

The key to my life and my heart is my daughter. She is growing up into a lovely young woman who now has her own household to take care of. Sometimes, I imagine if I had never had her, how would life be? Well I think it would have been ok and I would have been content, however, since she has been in my life, I know I could never imagine the space in my heart that has been hers. She is my reason to go forward.

Hi Irene,This set is so great. A Key Set, wow, and that leads me to my most valuble set of keys. Christ is my number one key, without him I wouldn't have a wonderful husband, a son, and a wonderful daughter-in law.I treasure them so much for they helped me and stood behind me in finding my real father.For 31 years I've looked and my faith in Christ I believe finally helped me.It took me so long and I knew this Man for 20 years and we wrote back in forth but last year we had the DNA and he came back as my father, plus he was raising my Twin Sister.I know this is a short story to let you know but there was so much more to it and now I'm going thru Breast Cancer and I have my wonderful family a new sister and father and so much faith in the Lord that I'm going to make it. I scrapbook all the time especially since I can't get out at the moment but most of my work goes to soldiers in Iraq and I make the cards for the church. So my Most valuable key is Christ for he helped me in finding not only my father but my Twin as well which I didn't know I had but my mother knew and never told me or that he had her.and both of our families are getting along so well. Thank you for giving me a chance to win the set and I will make a card or something and send you as well. Brenda58 Davidnbrenda@sbcglobal.net

Kerry said...

What a great stamp set! You really put some thought behind that too!! I hope I am not too late to participate in this, if so at least I got to see your beautiful blog some more!! Like you said there are so things that are 'keys' in our life, I do think the #1 key is God, but the 2nd would have to be the choices I have made along the way. They have made me who I am today. My family of course are equally important 'keys' since they affect everything I do! Had I not made the choices in my life that I did would they still be in my life? Since God is the #1 'key'? Ok, maybe we are getting too deep here!LOL!!
Thanks!!
