New day, new contest – and this is one you definitely won’t want to miss! We have a prize pack giveaway in a vendor / guest post by Artsy Couture!

WHAT ARE SWEET FRAMES?
Sweet Frames are a collection of distressed and aged looking frames hand crafted from high quality wood. Every frame is meant to inspire whimsy and wonderment, like being presented with a life sized piece of candy. Join in on spreading the sweetness.

WHAT IS CUBE DÉCOR?
They are photo cubes created from four inch image panels, each being a pro print laminated onto a solid wood material, which come together to create a one-of-a-kind home furnishings product.

Artsy Couture is celebrating the launch of their new Sweet Frames and Cube Décor product lines by giving away a prize pack to three lucky Paperie Boutique fans! This prize pack (valued at $150.00) includes:

•   a set of 3 cubes
•   an 8×10 classic Sweet Frame
•   an 11×14 ornate Sweet Frames

How do you win? Pick ONE of the following questions and answer here in the comments. (Only one answer / entry per person please.)

1. If you could do a photo shoot anywhere in the world, where would it be?

2. If you could have one photography “super power”, what would it be?

3. Who is your photography hero and why?

4. How did you make the decision to purchase Nikon or Canon (or other
brand) and do you plan to stick with it?

5. What is your favorite product by Artsy Couture – and why?

Select your favorite question and leave ONE answer here in the comments. Comment(s) must be posted here by 11:59 p.m. EST on Saturday, November 12th. You can enter / post one time.

Excited to have another guest / vendor post for a product I use (and love!) – a giveaway for two camera straps from Capturing Couture!

Capturing Couture is a company founded a little over 2 years ago by two working moms; one with a fervor for design and the other with a profound passion for photography. Capturing Couture breaks out into the accessories market with a collection of fashion forward camera straps, adding color and style to a category that has been, to this point, severely monochromatic. The time has come for fashion, form and function to completely merge.

We create two types of straps: One for the SLR/DSLR camera worn around the neck and a second for smaller cameras worn around the wrist. The straps are designed with comfortable padding in the neck to help distribute the weight of the camera, (SLR/DSLR camera straps only) velvet backing, nylon webbing for durability and adjustable hardware for preferred positioning.

Not only do we have fashion forward straps for women, we also carry a hip men’s line. [ Note from Robyn: Shhh! Don't tell anyone but my Capturing Couture strap is from the men's line! ]

And now two lucky Paperie readers have a chance to win a Capturing Couture camera strap of their very own! The style is the winner’s choice, up to a $39.00 value (shipping included).

1. Go to your Facebook and Twitter accounts and post the following on either or both (then tell us where you did):

More PaperieBirthday.com contest winners are announced further down in this post – but first, a quick word from the fine folks at Moo.

One of the recent Paperie Boutique birthday giveaways featured all the new types of Moo stickers available. Now every order of Moo Round Stickers includes a free sticker relating to the country your order is shipped to.*

Moo wants to celebrate the lovely new designs, and the clever technology that allows them to make stickers in general really! So, they’ve got a competition and some great prizes for you. It’s very simple to enter, just…..

1. stick ANY Moo sticker, on something you love about your city or country
2. take a picture of it
3. post it to Moo’s Flickr or Moo’s Facebook with the tag #CityStickers

Moo will be running the competition until the August 15th and then Tara, the stickers manager, will choose 20 winners who will receive $200 / £125 / €140 each to spend at Moo. One lucky winner will receive a copy of Corel Paintshop Pro photo editing software as well. So get snapping! [see more here at Moo's blog]

* Moo couldn’t create designs for every single country in the world, but they have the following 15 countries: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, United Kingdom, Japan, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and USA. If your order is not for any of these 15 countries you will get a ‘Hello World’ sticker – which is very much open to interpretation!

P.S. If a Paperie reader wins it all, we’ll kick in two free packs of Moo Sticker Books ($9.99 / each)!

Happy 2nd birthday to Paperie Boutique!

That said, without further adieu…four more giveaway announcements for contests # 15-18 (winners will be contacted within 48-72 hours of this announcement to claim their prizes):

c’est fini – giveaway 32

Happy 2nd birthday to Paperie Boutique!
Visit PaperieBirthday.com for all events!

Winner announcements started on Monday, July 25th…

The title from the last giveaway (#31) is the French translation of “My Way” – I thought the lyrics quite appropriate for what turned out to be an 8-day event! I also have a special connection to the song. It is one of my first memories as a child, and I could not have been more than 4 years old at the time. I remember walking up to the counter at TG&Y with a 45-record of the song, and plopping down my ‘hard-earned’ allowance on the counter. I felt so big and so proud at the time, and now it just makes me giggle (as I’m sure my family did watching me). No Bay City Rollers for me! Even at an early age, it seems I always overshot my mark and did it “my way“! But now that I’ve lost 75% of my audience with Sinatra, Bay City Rollers, TG&Y, and 45-record references…before you can all run off to Google to figure out what in the world I’m rambling on about after a week of sleep-deprivation…I’ll just say, “And now, the end is near“…and we’ll move on to the fun stuff! PRIZES!

In a week that’s seen over $8200 in prizes donated (that averages out to over $1000 / day!), you didn’t think we’d go out any other way than with a “BANG!“, did you? In our final giveaway – #32 – one lucky Paperie reader will win a prize pack from WHCC, HB Photo Packaging, and Kaleidoscope!

WHCC Float Wraps are a new, unique option to display images. Float Wraps are similar to Gallery Wraps or Standout mounted prints in that they add dimension by extending out from the wall. Float wraps are unique in that they appear to be floating on the wall with the main focus on the image! Create a modern display with a Float Wrap wall collage that is ready to hang once removed from the box!”

Included in this prize pack is a 16×20 float wrap with laminate in your choice of lustre or metallic photographic paper, or as a fine art or metallic canvas.

Also included in this prize pack is a “Boudoir Collection” sampler by HB Photo Packaging. (I recently featured the “Boudoir Collection” products in the June 2011 issue of Professional Photographer Magazine.) You will receive five large “Eco Totes” in black, ten small “Eco Totes” in black, five 8×10 boxes in “Razzle Berry“, five 5×7 boxes in “Razzle Berry“, five 8×10 boxes in “Black Velvet“, five 5×7 boxes in “Black Velvet“, ten 8×10 tissue folds in “(hot) pink”, ten 5×7 tissue folds in “(hot) pink” and “polka dot”, three rolls of “Bella Terra” paper ribbon (Black, Beauty, and Zebra), a “Hot Pink Tiger” ribbon sample, and ten assorted black “stretch bows“.

And last but certainly not least…

The lucky “grand finale” winner will also receive a $200 Kaleidoscope gift card! (You can see their recent Paperie feature here.)

So how do you win? It’s simple!

1. Go to your Facebook and Twitter accounts and post the following on either or both (then tell us where you did):
