One World One Heart giveaway

Photo

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

Welcome to my One World One Heart giveaway.

This giveaway is for bloggers all over the globe.

***** UPDATE *****
Thank you to all those who signed up for my giveaway! I had no idea it was going to be this BIG of an event!

And thank you to the new folks who have signed up to follow my blog. Check in Saturday to see if you win my weekly Saturday 'follower' giveaway.


******

GIVEAWAY PRIZE #1

I am giving away this mini journal I made (you can see my post about binding this book below (or here)). It is 6 1/2 x 3 inches with blank pages inside. I am also including the hand carved stamp that I used in the cover collage. That way you can make something to coordinate with the book, a little book mark or notecards or something else fun and creative!



I carved this stamp from this photo of a birdhouse that is hanging in my garden (my son made this bird feeder from a kit!).




As you can see the stamp is gently used :)


GIVEAWAY PRIZE #2

I made this card that I did a tutorial about into a little notebook (can't decide if these are notebooks or journals). I am including the 'Hope' stamp with the book. This stamp is from the Jenny Doh line of stamps and is a clear, unmounted stamp that need to be mounted on something to be used (an acrylic block or the back of another stamp works well). Again, this stamp is gently used and the reason it is not 'clean' is cause I mainly use Staz On ink which can stain the rubber if you don't clean it with a special cleaner, which I am out of!!! gasp! This is the reality of most of my stamps, luckily they work well anyhow :)



To enter please leave a comment in this post between now and February 15. As this is a blog event, you need to be a blogger to enter.

The winner will be drawn by random generator and announced on Feb 15th.

  1. I love the creative ideas on your blog! The game board... amazing. You posts make me think that just maybe I could actually try some of the projects myself. (what is this magical "gesso" of which you speak?)

    In lieu of creating art, I create pithy blog posts in a cheap attempt at humor. (We all have our different talents, I suppose.)

  32. Thank you for joining my blog. I try not to reflexively join another's blog simply because they have joined mine . . . despite the current rules of blog-etiquette. But the moment I arrived at your blog, I knew I would have to join. How extremely beautiful your blog is. And I am interested in the Wishstudio forum as well. For the moment, however, I'd better get something posted on my own blog now. Thank you again.
