BLOG HOP for IFS - 1st Birthday!!

To celebrate the blog's 1st birthday, we are doing a few fun things this week! Can you believe that IFS is 1?? It just seems like I started it a few months ago... I owe a huge thanks for the regular contributors, featured artists, and those who have submitted pages to be featured for making this blog GREAT and WONDERFUL!! So, a huge thank you to all of those who made this blog what it is today! Check back later in the week for three contributor appreciation days where I will be honoring the wonderful contributing artists!

Today will be a blog hop featuring favorite things from Ideas For Scrapbookers. I hope you will participate and have fun going from blog to blog ... and don't forget about the RAK giveaways!! The contributors will be in the hop and posting their favorite things about a category on the blog and there will be raks!! yea!!

Today on IFS there will a gift certificate and wishlist fulfillment RAK.. check below to see how you can enter to win!!

Well, to start out the hop, I am going to feature my favorite aspects about the blog! Everything we do is really my favorite, but here are some highlights, I wanted to share just a few!
1. One of my favorite things is Reader's Pages b/c I love getting pages that people have created using inspiration or templates from the blogs!
2. I love every Wednesday when the contributors send me their themed page for a Designer Showcase post! I makes me so happy to see what they have created!
3. I adore having Featured Artist every Friday! There are stellar ideas by so many designers!
4. I am so happy about how many amazing Technique Tutorials the contributing and featured artists have put together! You can see this updated list here.
5. I love sharing Templates with everyone and a few of the contributors have shared their templates with us as well.


Now it's time to see how you can get in on the TWO awesome RAKs! To be qualified to win, please either leave a comment with your two answers or email them to scrappingpam73@yahoo.com . You will have until Wednesday morning at 9 am est to post OR email your answers! I will announce the winners after that on Wednesday.
1. The first RAK will be a $25 gift certificate to scrapbook.com! What you need to do is try to figure out how many VISITS we have had to the blog in one year. Remember when I say visits, I mean the the same person could come each day and that would count as 365 visits. I will give you a hint... it is between 50,000 and 100,000. :) The closest person will win.
2. The second RAK will be a Wishlist Fulfillment up to $30 at scrapbook.com. If you win, you will put a whole bunch of things you want on your wish list (at scrapbook.com) and a package will arrive at your door with some of the goodies you really want! To be entered to win please answer the following questions. Under "Links to Pam's Specific Templates" (see list on right-hand side bar), which one do you think is my favorite? Remember this is just from the templates I have made not the contributor's templates.The person who guesses right will win. If there are multiple people, I will randomly pick one person to win. If no one wins, I will go down my list of ten favorites until I get a winner!
