le papier studio giveaway!

vana and I have been online friends since the beginning of this blogging journey.  I was immediately smitten with her sillouettes, attention to detail and loads of talent.  Then I realized that on top of all of this, I just really liked the sweet woman behind the lovely shop, le papier studio.  Which is why I have always felt so proud to have vana on bliss...
I am not at all surprised by how much I love le papier studio's holiday collection.  I have already professed this love for vana's calenders...

The rest of it is just as perfect.

Simply put, I love everything vana does.  Which is why I am particularily thrilled to announce today's giveaway.  Vana has graciously offered one bliss reader a $50 gift certificate to le papier studio!  Leave a comment here pointing out your favorite le papier item by Friday the 6th and you will be registered to win.  I can't think of a better gift can you?  

Besides the holiday items, I would personally choose this and this (hint: birthday one week from today...got that mr. french ?):

Thank you vana...on top of talented, you are too generous!  xo mrs. french

MODsquad said...

Love, love, love the silhouette pillows!

Marie + January said...

okay...chosing one is TOUGH!!! I love the idea of having sillouette ornaments, but I also love the romantic calendar!! decisions, decisions!!!

Jaimee said...

Both, you, Mrs. French & Vana have been in my little circle of "bloggers from the beginning". And you're, both, the sweetest of gals.

Now how could I pass up such an opportunity?! Of course, I adore all of Vana's work but I'm quite partial to dainty lockets. So, I'd have to say one of my very favorite Le Papier Studio pieces is Vana's Small Silhouette Locket.

Fingers are crossed :)

Marta said...

It's hard to choose just one thing, everything's fantastic, but I guess my favourite are the kids silhouettes.

ljkc said...

Impossible to choose just one item! The necklace perhaps? The new calendar? How about ALL of Le Papier Studio as 1 item?! ;)

xo

Bonbon Oiseau said...

I could never choose--I love all of vana's work! (and vana too!)

studio m said...

Ooh - that's hard! I think my most favorite is the romantic silhouettes calendar. Cuuuute!

I love the 2010 Botanical Calendar! And I also love the Silhouette Pillows, the Couple Silhouette Print, the Floral Design Calling Cards , the Silhouette Pendant Necklaces, and the Paperweights. OK, so I would have a very hard time choosing! Love this shop!

I just found Vana via Nienie's Blog. I didn't see it in her items yet but I just wrote to Vana and asked her if she could possibly make a keychain for my bf with my silhouette on it...so that he can carry a piece of me wherever he goes.
