Firstly... a huge THANK YOU for all the wonderful comments about baby Abigail. We think she is pretty awesome and so far life with her in our famly has been a real joy. Today we are having our first day totally on our own. No visitors, no family, just us all day till Daddy comes home from work. And so far, it's been great. We had a lovely cuddle in bed this morning, didn't have to rush to get up, we wandered to the shops and the post office and now she is fast asleep on my lap giving me time to write a quick blog post!
Today I have a giveaway for you! * whoop * it's for Shimelle's brand new class "Pretty Paper Party"
Here are the class deets :
There are online classes for everything these days, and Shimelle has been teaching online scrapbooking classes for years - but she's decided it's time to kick it up a bit and go from online class to a four-week online party, and you're invited. Pretty Paper Party is the party to attend if you have a collection of paper stacked up for a rainy day, if you have more scraps of paper than you know what to do with (but you know you don't want to throw them away!) and if you've ever put a piece of paper back in your stash because it was just too special for the photos at hand. Through printable prompts and tutorial videos, Shimelle and dozens of special party guests will share beautiful and innovative techniques you can achieve with the paper you have already collected.
I have been invited as a special party guest and have contributed a layout for the class... and here is a sneeky peek...
The party actually starts today... so let's get this giveaway going so the winner can join in as soon as possible! (though of course, with any good party, you can always arrive fashionably late!)
To enter the giveaway : All you need to do is leave me a comment on this blog post... as the party is all about paper... just tell me your favourite paper collection of all time!
The closing date : noon tomorrow! lets get this done in 24 hours! So that's 12.00pm on 18th October!
FYI : If you have already signed up for the class you can still enter the giveaway as if you win then you can have your class cost refunded or gift your free place to a friend :)

Oh gosh!! That is a tough qn! I love everything about American Crafts. Can I cheat and say that my current fave is Amy Tangerine's collection? lol..
Hi Laura,
First of all: congratulations with your cute little daughter! She's so adorable!
I was linked to your blog by Shimelle's and now I see your great give away, so I just must give it a try!
My alltime favourite papercollection is from October Afternoon: Detours. It's one of the first collections I bought.
Kind regards,
Marianne
My all time favourite collection has to be Basic Grey Blush - I adored it and used so much of it, it was the first collection pack that I ever bought and began my love of all things Basic Grey. I only have scraps left now so will have to use them on cards - I will be so sad when I have none left.

Another October Afternoon lover here - but I would be hard pushed to select one range. My other fave was the Origins range by Basic Grey - perfect for boy pages.
Such an easy question! My favourite paper line is American Crafts City Park line, I think some sheets I bought 3 of because I they are just so darn cute!
Favourite ever is Fancy Pants Happy Together, made scrapping pictures of 2 small boys very easy!
Anything by October Afternoon - currently Rocket Age is my favourite, great for boys and general layouts.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE anything 'Crate Paper', I am loving the sneaks they have been posting the last week!
Wow a giveaway you are a super mum! I dont think I got dressed for the first 6 months after both my boys were born! My fav collection I would have to say basic grey do a good range ESP with me having two monkeys and a man child! But also love anything bright that is my style for piccys of me :)
Thanks for the chance of a win and love everyday they go so quick :)
Of all time? Has to be DCWV Once Upon A Time! Love that fairytale stuff!! Have used it on so many things! Love how thick it is and the glittered pages, just gorgeous!
Now that's a toughie!! There are so many that I love!! Crate, Sassa, October Afternoon!! Can't choose one!!!
Thanks for the opportunity :-)
Thanks for the chance to win. Would love to join this class. Favourite collection of all time...? That is a hard one. Anything pink and sparkly usually. Love prima lost and found. Ooh but I have just thought of a mega favourite - k and co blue awning! I went all over for this collection. Lovely gorgeous baby girl you have got there. Make sure you do weekly photos on the same day at the same place so you can see her grow and change. Jenx
Of all time!!?? No idea as there are too many to think of, but I do love the new Amy Tan collection <3
I confess, I am quite new to scrapbooking so haven't got an 'all-time fave', hope thats OK? I do love the grungy/70's look though so anything by Tim Holtz should fit the bill!
(Enjoy your first 'me & baby' time, it feels goood to chuck everyone else out once in a while!)
Anything Basic Grey. I love their designs. I did a whole
12x12 scrapbook of my summer one year using only their product.
Beautiful baby !! Enjoy the time it goes to quickly ! My baby girl is 8 !!
My favourite paper line has to be October Afternoon - any range I love them all !!
wow i love the latest ranges from Jillybeans and MME. BUt my fave all time has to be Urban Lily!!! I loved it and was gutted when it stop being produced.
Thanks for the chance to party!!!
Oh difficult one but I think it's October Afternoon Hometown. I made a fab book for my son out of it. I have to say I love October Afternoon period :-)
Enjoy the baby cuddles.
Oo such a hard question to answer! My current Favourite of all time is October Afternoon Thrift Shop, I just love the colours and the patterns.
Hope you had a good day! Becky x
Love your blog and your daughter is just so beautiful. Like others my favourite manufacture is October afternoon.. I love Detours and am scared to use it all up and not be able to stroke it any longer!
The paper collection that's my favourite is one I haven't actually got, yet, BasicGrey Lauderdale, it's just gorgeous.
I love reading your blog and your daughter is so beautiful. My favourite manufacturer is October Afternoon and my favourite all time collection is Detours, I'm too scared to use it up because then I won't have it to stroke!
oooh that's a toughy! Do I have to pick just one? I am a huge Crate fan so I'll go for Restoration :)
What a lovely giveaway! Such a hard one though. Cosmo cricket or any October afternoon make me happy. Mind you I can never turn down woodgrain paper either! Xxx
Love all the Studio Calico papers, especially like their newest collections - too difficult to just choose one! Thanks for the chance to win x
Ooh, tough question, although I think I will have to say Crate's Emmas Shoppe is my all time fave! Thanks for the chance to win! x
just popped over from Shimele's blog as I had to see who beautiful Abigail belonged to! You have a fabby blog and congrats on gorgeous baby. My fave papers are so varied, have some K & Co I love, some MME, some Echo Park too amny to pick one. If I am lucky enough to win this I would like to give it to my friend K so thank you for the kind offer xxx
Hope you enjoyed your first Mummy & Daughter day together.
My favorite collection of all time has to be Making Memories Noteworthy, perfect combination of bright cheerful colours & ledger patterns.
hi my fave collection has got to be cosmo cricket earth love, although i have so many faves and so many paper packs, need this class to you use it lol
How to choose!!!! I adore all Sassafras and am definitely guilty of stroking rather than using it!!!! Also recently started a love affair with Graphic 45 ... wizard of oz anyone??? :)
I'd have to say my favourite were the old Sassafras Life Is Beautiful papers, I still have a few left which I can't bear to cut up because I don't think I can get any more! A newer range I love is Echo Park For The Record, and actually anything by October Afternoon! Hard question!
At the moment, my favorite is the October Afternoon 5 and Dime- particularly the Rock Candy paper.
Ooh, I reakky cannot decide on a favourite! I like Basic Grey Olivia, but also love a fair heap of October Afternoon, Sassafrass, and Cosmo Cricket!
It has to be Cosmo Cricket's Girl Friday!
I love October Afternoon, but if I have to choose one collection I think it has to be Bo Bunny´s Noel.
I'm pretty new to this too so i wouldnt say i have an all time favourite but my current fav is the boy by bella blvd, i have a 2 year old and those papers seem to suit him perfectly!
My all time favourite collection would have to be DCWV Once Upon a Time xx
I think my all time favourite has to be DCWV Nanas Nursery Baby Girl - I have it in several different sizes (as in I STILL have it because some of it is just too too gorgeous to cover up with photos!)
Hope you have a lovely Mummy and Baby day!
