How sweet is that?! The combos come in a reusable canister and will make the perfect gift for mom. With so many designs to choose from and loads of “Tacky Ideas” to be inspired by, this is a fantastic prize!

My personal favorites are the Black & White Lace and  the Leaf Medley & Faux Bois Sets. To enter, visit TapeSwell and tell us which of the combo packs is your favorite. Have a favorite memory of mom? We’d love to hear that too!  Giveaway ends this Friday, April 30th at 12pm PST and I’ll announce the winner Monday, May 3rd. Good luck everyone! *CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
