BlackBerryDesigns Decoupage Papers!

I know I've told you about BlackBerryDesigns (formerly Southern Blackberry Designs) before but for those of you that haven't heard of them they offer up a unique assortment of vintage and retro decoupage/collage sheets printed on a wide variety of foundations including...Standard Paper, Cardstock, Clear Sticker Sheets, Mylar and my favorite Tissue Paper!

Well, recently I received an e-mail from Dea (the wonderful owner of BBD) asking if I would be interested in an assortment of collage sheets that had some sort of flaw making them unsaleable to use for various projects and to share with you.  Although these sheets might have a wrinkle which occured during printing, misaligned pages, colors off a bit, etc.  the sheets still had many usable images.    All she asked in return was that we give BlackBerryDesigns proper credit when we use and post items made using these images.

Of course I jumped at the chance and said yes because I knew how cool her images are AND I knew you'd love a chance to give them a try for yourself.  

So, my mail lady shows up one day with a very heavy box and I was thinkin' to myself, what could this be....I haven't ordered anything recently.  Imagine my surprise when I opened the box to find this.....


BlackBerryDesigns Pt I 001

Literally HUNDREDS of sheets
 in a wide variety of themes and papers....

Women, Christmas, Birds, Labels, Halloween, Flowers, Easter, Animals, and so much more!!!!

I was totally blown away, this is a crafty, collage, artsy dream!

And here we are...It is my pleasure to be able to bring you some fun projects using some of these amazing collage images

AND
Share them with YOU!!!!

I thought this mega special gift deserved an equally special way to give them away....

SO ~

I will be giving away approx. 30 packages of assorted collage sheets in the next couple weeks!
Yes, you read that correctly....thirty (maybe more)!!!

Here's what we're going to do...

I will be creating a variety of projects using some of these awesome images, at the end of each post I will ask you to list your favorite sheet(s) from a select catagory on BlackBerryDesigns. 
(PLEASE remember to add some way for me to contact you in case you win.)
You'll have 1 week to post your comment then I will give away 5 packs of collage sheets to 5 lucky posters.
It's so very simple yet so rewarding!

We'll start the giving today...

The chosen catagory is....

Fairy Tales

  10. Hi Roni -

    These are wonderful. Very hard to pick a favorite, a category? A little easier. It would have to be the Alice in Wonderland papers and then the Beatrix Potter papers. Then there are all the Mother Goose ones, the Fairy Tale ones (red Riding Hood), well you get the picture. I think they are all fabulous.
