Hello, everyone! Happy Friday and welcome, especially, to those of you that hopped here from Rae Bartel's blog! HELLO to you!
I told you it was going to be a good week around here with quite a few giveaways and I wasn't kidding! Today's wonderful giveaway comes to you courtesy of my amazingly talented friend, Kimber McGray! Those of of you that know Kimber and her incredible work know that she's the Card Making Queen...and she has several books under her belt to prove it!
Her latest one - 100 Fresh & Fun Handmade Cards - has just been released and we're helping her celebrate with a fun blog hop....AND a giveaway of a signed copy on each of the blogs! How's that for an awesome way to start a Friday?!

I absolutely loved being a part of this book. Kimber always stretches me to my creative limits - this time by asking me to make cards with INTERACTIVE elements. Yep, that's right. This book has slider cards, shaker cards, pop up cards - you name it, it's in there! It's been so beautifully created with step by step instructions which absolutely makes this book a must have. I didn't think she could top her last one, but she really did!
This fun card is probably my favorite I created for the book. It's a pull-up gift card holder where the roof lifts up to reveal a gift card for a home improvement store. But don't worry. If the interactive part completely overwhelms you, this book shows you how to make a simple version of the card as well! There's truly something for everyone. Just click right HERE for the link to the book on Amazon if you just can't wait to see if you win a copy - and if I were you I totally wouldn't be waiting!
So let's get to the good stuff as I know you're itching to! All you have to do is leave a comment here telling me why you NEED a copy of this book (and you do!) to be entered to win. The you need to hop on over to the awesome Kim Hughes of Paper Smooches blog to visit her and be entered to win there too! We'll all be drawing the winners on Monday so there are several chances to score a copy for yourself!
One more reminder - I still have the giveaway for CardMaps Today 2 open a couple posts below until midnight tonight! Get in on that too while you're at it and double your chances of winning something amazing!
Have a great day!

Oh my gosh...this is right up my alley! I was just thinking my DD is just at the right age she would get a kick out of some cool interactive pieces! (like day before yesterday!) I would LOVE to get my hands on this book!!
I love to make cards and love to expand the different kinds of cards I can make. This book would sure come in handy to help me think outside the box.

Your card is just brilliant! Absolutely love the idea! Thanks so much for the chance to win the idea book!
Great layouts! Please keep me in mind for the book giveaway. Thanks :)
This book looks awesome! I have only really started making cards this year so a book like this would be a great resource. I am making at least one card a week to send to my dad going through Chemo so I am sure there would be tons of fabulous ideas in here to use.
I NEED this book because I spend a lot of time trying to decide how and what I need to make/finish a card. This book would be AWESOME for me, Plus it wouldn't hurt to help me step up my card making skills :)

Great idea for a card holder. Just shows why I need this book - I'd never have come up with something like that. And now I'm thinking of how to use that idea with a birthday/wedding cake, or present top that lifts off...
Thanks!

Holy Adorable, Batman!
I NEED this book because I NEED to see all the fabulous projects in it =) TFS!
There are so many reasons that I NEED this book. I love making cards and the interactive ones seem intimidating to me. I'd love to see if I can conquer my fears.
Kelly, this card is fantastic and I need a copy of this book to figure out how you did it. I am a realtor (in my other life) and this would be the PERFECT gift card holder for my clients. So I can't wait to see the instructions! Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win!
dear Kelly,
i NEED a copy of the fun & fresh cards book to amaze my friends and bamboozle my enemies on their next birthdays... Love your Lowe's card!
Such a sweet and bright car! Love the hidden roof gift card. I love interactive cards--I especially like to receive them and try to figure out how they work. This books sounds perfect for me

great project! fun house card. I would love to win this book so much to learn.
This is amazing!! What an awesome gift card holder!
I really need this book!! Compared to the cards I've been seeing, my own creations are sooo lame. My family and friends have been deprived to the wonder of interactive cards, and without excellent ideas and directions, they will continue to be left in the dreary world of plain, old, ordinary cards. (I hope I was convincing. I meant every word of it!)
Oooooooo! I so need this book. I've never made an interactive card and my cards are so booooooring right now. I need ALL THE HELP I can get. Love the card you made, It's so perfect for all the new home owners in our family. Thanks for sharing such a great project and the chance to win.
I've just begun to realize what fun it is to introduce some interaction with cards and scrapbook pages!
These are all such great ideas. Thanks for sharing your creativity. ~Karen Sue
Your roof totally blew me away. What a super duper cool gift card CARD!

I need some new card ideas for making card for my three grandsons and these interactive cards would be perfect!
Super cute! Love the house for the home improvement card! What fun!
Oh I DO need a copy of this book, I'm loving every card I've seen so far!!

Holy cute house card Batman! I'd love to be able to make some cards with an extra POW! to them. Living far away from my family means sending lots of cards. I'm thinking I need to step it up! (Not to mention to teach my budding artist daughter how to make something WOW!)

I'm not good at making cards as you are guys but if this is an opportunity well I'll might take this chance and have that card for real.
The biggest benefit of eLearning, however, is that it eliminates the expense and inconvenience of getting the instructor and students in the same place.
I think I love those mini envies the best...leave it to BG to come out with another must have collection!
I need inspiration and this book would give me that. Here's hoping I win.
Wow, Interactive cards is right up my alley. I would love to get my hands on this book. This Blog Hop is awesome.
