these are beautiful lines and I love how they will coordinate with just about anything out there. My favorite is Prima, who doesn't love flowers?!!!

Fifi said...

For me Prima is always about the flowers, they add such texture and opulence to a layout, and I wouldn't be without. Maya Road is all about the chipboard, my favourites the trees, chipboard is always so much fun. Good luck everyone

Jingle said...

I love these companies!!! Maya Road in particular! Wow! I love their albums, their fun chipboard shapes, their trims are awesome! Oh, I could go on for hours! LOL! Stamps!!! I love their stamps, too! LOL!

MClark said...

I'm not familiar with Maya Road or Upsy Daisy, but Prima flowers are my favorite! The flowers are such good quality and they have such a variety of colors/styles!

Bookworm said...

I'm just getting into the hobby, so haven't used any of those products yet. But I have seen the Prima flowers on others' creations and think they are pretty. :)

Leah the Orange said...

Prima's Say It in ___ lines are amazing... i am a HUGE fan of the flourishes - mostly i end up chopping them up into smaller flourishes, because the size works better for cards, but they're very versatile! haven't used their stitched papers, but they're BEAUTIFUL!
Maya Road - MMMM, stamps (they have this new "i love sushi" set that is just adorable), ribbons (so texturey!), sheers... so many good things to say!
Upsy Daisy - i LOVE their papers! the Hot Chocolate and Simply U lines are fab! their packs are SO easy to coordinate and the colours rock.

okay, gushy enough for you?
i like these companies a little bit. yes.

I would have to say Prima flowers add just the right touch you need to make your page pop. I use them to bring color into my layouts and cards.

Maya Road is one of my absolute favorites! I love the chipboard and the sheers, oh and the pins. I love to use the Maya mini albums too. One of my favorite projects ever was a Maya Road Christmas house with a mini album inside.
Thanks for the contest!!

Bhane said...

I love using Prima flowers, they definitely add texture to your page and making it elegant. Maya, of course the chipboards :)

Tiffany Heilman said...

Love the maya road crown and the mix of flowers and ribbon. Very lovely!

Karen and Kyle said...

Beautiful products! I love my Prima. I use them on practically every project I do. I love to layer the flowers and to stick a button right in the middle. I seriously have very few projects without this look!

Brenda said...

pattyb said...

I love Prima flowers, in fact I have a collection that I love to just look at all the time. They work great with whatever I am working on whether altered art or layouts. I posted on the Fiskateer website to let people know where to come.

Amy said...

I love all the companies! I really love those colors shown in the primas!!

Groovy Deborah said...

For me? I adore Prima papers and flowers and butterflies...Each time I do use any of those on a layout I feel like I am creating feminine pages that I hope my girls will love one day :)

Deanne K said...

I am addicted to Primas - I just love all flowers in general. There is something about textured "circles" that I LOVE!

ArlaMo said...

Although I love all the Prima flowers, I'm a mom to five boys and one non-girly girl, so I hardly ever use them. I LOVE Maya chipboard, though, and their sheers!

Jena, Rick, Ricky & Jordana said...

Prima flowers are the best. They always have the PERFECT flower I'm looking for.

Nicole Terry said...

I love prima because they carry every type of flower you can think of. Big and small, simple and fancy and I love their wide assortment of colors. Everything from fun and bright to vintage looking. They are just fabulous!!

Perfectly Precocious said...

Prima has amazing flowers (and if you know me, you know how much I love flowers)! Blogged and Facebooked. Good luck everyone!

ScrapMomOf2 said...

I've become a "details" kind of scrapper lately. To me, the finishing details make the layout or card. I have to admit that adding a beautiful Prima always make me happy! Maya Road is just amazing when it comes to so many of those details! Upsy Daisy is totally new to me!

Nitasha said...

I love using prima flowers because they are so versatile...depending on my layout they can add whimsy, cutsie, elegance, or just a touch "umph" and I can even use them on layouts about my boys. I have never used Upsy Daisy but would love the opportunity to play! Thanks.

Flamingo Scraps said...

Thank you ladies for all the wonderful comments -- for those of you visiting the store -- thanks yet again -- and -- a little self-plug -- we have Maya Mist in many gorgeous colors!!

Anna said...

I love Maya Road because their products are alterable. As for Prima, I love their flowers, they are simply georgeous as embellishments.

Moni said...

I love Prima Flowers, I use them on my cards! But I am not familiar with Maya road or Upsy Daisy! ut would love to try! The flowers give the card gorgeous look! Hugs, Moni

Amarilys said...

I absolutely love PRIMA flowers and Flamingo Scraps is a great online store! I love how Primas come in every color and shape and it's always so easy to incorporate them into a LO!

I talked about today's giveaways in my blog:

Jennifer said...

I am a flower junkie! Enough said! LOL I can't seem to get enough of them and am constantly reaching for my primas!

Thanks for the chance to win!

twistedsoda said...

I love Prima because you can do so many fun things with them. You can add glitter to the flowers, add button centers, cluster them to look like bouquettes. I love em!

Scrapamum said...

I love these companies! Prima is my favorite. I love how their products have a romantic feel.

jan farnworth said...

i like using prima flowers on my cards, layouts and tags cause they add just a hint of color without overwhelming the project and they are really easy to store and use.

April said...

I adore Flamingo Scraps!! Amazing customer service and super sweet ladies. :)

I looooove using Maya Road products on my layouts...especially their chipboard. It's so easy to work with and always looks great!

Thanks for the chance at some goodies!
- April

Jessica said...

Prima flowers are my favorite - great variety of shapes, textures and sizes. Maya Road chipboard is lots of fun too!

lillianchild said...

I know that if there's something "missing" from one of my card creations, that just adding a simple Prima flower will make all the difference in the world.

Lauren said...

WOW! Prima Flowers are the best EVER! I haven't had the money to get them, but hopefully I can get some soon! Can't wait to see who wins! Thanks for the awesome chance!

Sandra Perdomo said...

A Sarasota said...

I've found that Maya Road rub on alphabets are the best around--they work perfectly every time, and the sheets are very forgiving. I have a Maya Road album that hasn't' been started yet, and I hope to make a Halloween album out of it. My daughter lovers the Prima sewn papers, gorgeous colors. I'm a little lost since my locals scrap store went out of business ... :-(

Ilene said...

I love Prima flowers. I love to ink and chalk them and make all sorts of combos. I love Maya Road chipboard especially their albums. I have my eye on a really cute boy album which I plan on using for my 2 yo on his first days of school.

I love to use Prima's flowers. I love embellishing, and Prima's flowers are so perfect for so many layouts. And what's not to love about Maya Road chipboard!? My LSS doesn't carry Upsy Daisy, so I'm not really familiar with them.

Summer Braxton said...

No scrapper can live without Primas!! I love Maya Road's extra special embellies like the chandelier beads, the bird beads, thier ribbon. ANd how EVERYTHING comes in reusable tins. They are so clever!! I'll be back once I've posted on my blog

Emily said...

Wow... what an awesome giveaway, yet again!

As far as these go... Prima is wonderful because the products always seem to add the elegant element to your projects. But, they still have some more funky products as well. They go from one end of the spectrum to the other.. I like that.

Maya Road is wonderful because of course, chipboard rocks, but also because the containers some of their products come in are great for altered items!

BDJ said...

Love all the companies. Especially love Prima flowers!

Vijaya Siddharth said...

I would have to say Prima flowers. I would like to try some Maya Rd Products though.

Sarah said...

I'm new to Upsy Daisy. Haven't seen their stuff in person yet. I'm a huge fan of Prima flowers...a girl can never have too many flowers. :) I love to use them on cards, scrapbook lo's, you name it. I love the vintage/word ones especially. So unique! Maya Road is awesome, too! I'm a HUGE fan of their mini-albums and chipboard. Their rubons go on like 'butta! LOVE them. AND, their price is always a great value, too! Thanks for the chance to win! :)
