Lilla Lotta Give Away ((closed))






The possibilities are endless. The sky is the limit. BUT... what would you like to see on a cotton tape? On the slim tape, or the wide tape? In the cream or on the white?
What kind of illustrations? What wording? A saying perhaps?
I would love to know your ideas, and if I pick yours, I will create the tape, and send it to you as a gift!

Thank you so much for joining in, I can't wait to hear your thoughts and ideas x

  2. Dearest swet anna, how very exciting!! It's that time of the year again for this wonderful give away. I am looking at my angel table lamp and thinking that little angels with wording "I am here for you" on your wide tape in cream color. I can just picture it right now. :) Have a lovely merry happy day and lots of love to you!

  5. Hello Anna! I love all your tapes and the possibility to inspire you for another one is fantastic. :)
    I have a few ideas:
    - an ornament in art nouveau-style (I just love this epoch)
    - cloverleaf (for good luck - and because of the colour)
    - swallows (they remember me to my childhood and they are a sign for freedom to me)
    - "not all who wander are lost" (Tolkien)
    - I´m still in love with your "Little Red"-illustration, so what about other fairytales? Maybe Snow White (she is lying in her bed with all the dwarfs around) or Cinderella (doves, shoes...).
    Have a lovely day!

  7. Anna this is a fabulous giveaway, you create the most beautiful ribbon! I would love to see something with angels or maybe trees.......Merry Christmas or Joyeux Noel.....I am sure any fairy tale would be lovely too!!!
    I would love to have Jack in the Box for my new grandson, with the thinner tape in white I could make him a bunting bag and a ball.......
    Hugs,

  9. Well, I could think of many whimsical things that I would like...but, on a practical but cute note:

    "Happy Birthday" (one line) " to You!" (below Happy Birthday - the words are stacked like in your "i love you this much" tape ) alternating with a cake on a pedestal drawing (as only you can do!)

    This would be on the wide (white) tape. You could use it as gift wrap ribbon or cut one repeat and sew it on a hand made gift or card.

  10. What a great giveaway!:)) I see my lately favourite saying: "friends are family you choose". I would love to have some little smiling faces on it:) I would use it to wrap presents for my friends or sew it on the gifts for closest ones:)
    If you like my pictures feel free to join my anniversary giveaway :)

  15. what a nice giveaway! I would love to see the tape with our family members names or the tape with my late cat's paws

    ReplyDelete
  16. wow!
    I'd love to see a story on the tape, or perhaps some monsters gathering to drink a mid-afternoon tea, or, no, wait! I'd love to see a seahorse riding a earth-horse or a horse diving into the sea.. I'd love something blue and light blue with seaweeds with some shy fish peeping out.. or, wait again! I'd love to see just a small piece of something, a beak or a wing, black on cream tape, to arouse my fantasy... or I'd love to see a strange procession of even stranger creatures, going who knows where just out of the tape!
    And I'd love to illustrate any of the things mentioned above :)

  20. Wow....a chance to give you an idea...how awesome!:)

    Since I use your tapes mostly for loops to hang little mini quilts or on pot holders I think it would be adorable to have some with:

    -fruits or veggies.
    -cute cars or a truck with a dog and kitty in the back...or driving!:)
    -walking cutlery
    -"Love from Mom" or something like that!:)
    - tools-carpentry or gardening
    -snowflakes
    -books on a shelf or stacked the length of the tape!
    -music notes, scale, bass and treble cleft
    -brass instruments....any instrument...a marching band!
    -a cityscape
    -wrought iron or picket fence with a flowering vine and flowers peeking through the fence...maybe a critter peeking!
    -jungle animals
    -woodland animals
    -fish
    Ack! Too many ideas...wide, narrow, white, cream...I love them all.

  24. Hi Anna,

    I've been lurking around your Etsy shop on and off for some time now. Never really knowing the reason I would want a tape but their just so pretty in every way.

    Recently the reason presented itself. I am currently stuck knee deep (in a good way) on garment sewing. I am self thought and have used the vast resources on the Internet to learn from all the generous souls. I am no where near good but I do want to get there and beyond.

    I've been thinking of a label for my garments that I am sewing. 'Barbara's Creations' is predictable. 'Sanguine Seamstress' is nice. Or maybe 'Couture Wannabe'! LOL!! And perhaps coupled with a picture of spool of thread, needle and scissors. That would be pretty won't it?

    If I don't win, no worries I'll just have to make up my mind and come looking for you in your shop! :)

  25. Hi, I've got 3 ideas :D
    " you're my sunshine" with a yellow bright sun :)
    another one with bright colours like aqua, red, orange, lime, etc... ( stripes, polka dots...)
    and something relative to the beach.
    Hope you like them.
    Kisses

  26. Something with ''Smile & the world smiles with you' ... 'Shared joy is double joy' ... 'One rose can be by garden, One friend, my world' & of course even 'Little Ray of Sunshine' would make joyful tapes :) in blue of course *smiles* Kristy

  27. My favourite lines of poetry (courtesy of W.B Yeats) "But I being poor have only my dreams.I have laid my dreams under your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams" - Illustated with something suitably dreamy... - the poem is called "He wishes for the cloths of Heaven"

  28. Hi,

  39. Hi! I would like to see a halloween tape. I would use it in treat or trick bags.

    I love spiders, cauldrons, orange and lilac colors...

  40. I'm glad I'm not too late to take part, this is a wonderful giveaway and I've been pondering it for a few days. I love words and phrases and I love what you print on your cotton tapes. I like the line from the song Forever Young which goes "may your heart always be joyful" (can you use other people's lyrics?), "Not all who wander are lost" (JRR Tolkien) is good. And I really love the words "happy trails" which conjures up images of bear footprints, fir trees, leaves and nature-y things. Hope you're enjoying your weekend :)

  41. Oohhh! Since I use your tapes all the time, I've thought about what I would l love to see on a tape. So, I would have a wide cream tape with turtles on it. My son loves turtles, and I would love to use it to label clothing for him!

  46. Wat maak jij een geweldige mooie dingen, je bent echt een kunstenaar. Ik ken jou van vroeger, leuk om te zien dat het goed met je gaat. Ik zag je mooie tekeningen en kreeg het idee, waarom breng je geen stempels uit, ik zelf doe veel met stempels maar maak ze zelf niet. Voor je linten kun je ook bv schelpen soorten op een rij in de kleur turqois/bruin.Of de zon maan en sterren. Ik wens je heel veel succes in je onderneming. Lieve Groet Diana
