I know we are all shedding a tiny tear that the 5th Anniversary Party for Spellbindersâ„¢ is almost over but I’m pretty sure we’ll throw another party soon on the blog. We DO like to party.

But just a few reminders:

• Savvy Saturday will be taking this week off.
• Sunday at 9am Pacific Time, you’ll begin to see all the new dies and other coolio products released onto the site.
• Sunday we’ll share Stacey’s announcement of another innovation from Spellbindersâ„¢ that we think you are going to LOVE!!!
• January 31st will be our announcement for the Grand Prize winner of the Blog Frenzy, so mark your calendars for that.
• February 1st is the deadline for applications to the Design Team. So get your art ready and send it in before midnight CST.

Well, I think that’s it for now…we’ll see you back here soon.

Hey Beth, do you have any more cake? I’m starving…

“Wow, what a wonderful e-mail to get! I am so excited!!! The dies so far have been fabulous and the designers incredible and I am looking so forward to playing with them. Thank you so much for having a wonderful contest and an incredible product.”

Well, congratulations Elaine. We are glad to hear you love your new die template designs and are looking forward to receiving them.

We keep getting lots of entried but there might be one spot for YOU! So keep visiting!!

I feel like I’m running a marathon and I’m just rounding the last corner on the first loop. Ahead of me, I can see a line-up of five die templates. Amazing, new, highly detailed, you know, the kind you’ve come to expect from Spellbindersâ„¢. The Main “glass of water” for today is the Small Deckled Rectangles that was released by Sherry Cheever on her blog. Thanks Sherry for your superb projects. Now let’s check out the five die template sets up for today’s winner:

We had nearly 2,200 entrants on Sherry’s give-away days. Of course, we went over to Random.org to see who might get picked.

Now we are beginning to really have some fun. We keep out-pacing ourselves: So far, we’ve awarded 4 die template sets: one on day one and three on day two. (Maybe I should get my calculator out for this) Well, today we’ll match that total (I know, mind boggling) and give away 4 more: First remember Holly Craft’s reveal on Day three: S4-199 Floral Accent . Thanks Holly for your amazing artwork on your Today’s Creations Blog. Then see the two previously released die template sets. (Pick Me! Pick Me!)

We had a more than 2100 entries on Holly’s Blog for her 48 hours of fun.
