We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from comments left across all countdown posts on the Hero Arts blog. The winner will be announced first thing Monday morning, October 4, before the kit launches at 10am Pacific. The more you comment, the more chances to win. Good luck!

Before we go, we also want to invite you to a special World Cardmaking Day LIVE crafting session with Libby tomorrow! Join us on Saturday at noon Pacific/3pm Eastern here on our Facebook page to celebrate one of the best days of the year. You can craft along, just watch, chat, and enter to win some fantastic prizes (entire October add-ons release, anyone?!) You can always catch it on replay and still be eligible to win prizes if you're not able to join while we're live. We hope to see you there. Happy World Cardmaking Day in advance!

Evelyn J Price,

This is one of the best window scenes I have seen. Makes a truly beautiful scene. Would also make a great store front scene. Love this!

Judy Rutherford,

The Oct 2021 kit sneak-peeks are intriguing! Can’t wait to see more!

Kathy Harroun,

I love all of these! Mindy’s vibrant colors and tree and hobby horse are beautiful, Jessica’s corners that looks like glazed snow / ice that collected in crevices is amazing – as is her tree!, Seeka’s tree scene is pretty and Debi’s tag / cover for her Christmas cracker (so British) is a delight. Love that hobby horse! TFS -
