I was thrilled when Karen at Your Next Stamp approached me over the summer to create a winter themed gift set for Staedtler using their products and YNS images. I wasn't sure I would be able to color without my Copics, but I was willing to give it a shot. I used a combination of Staedtler Watercolor pencils, Fineliner pens and Markers to color one of my favorite images from YNS, Tabogganing Ellie.
And can you believe it?!?! Staedtler is now using my creations in their winter promotional ad's in craft magazines across the country!! Accckkk!! I was so excited a few weeks ago when I realized that the ad's were probably starting to show up in magazines on newsstands that I rushed down to my local craft store and thumbed through the December 2011 issue of Crafts 'n Things magazine until I found the ad!!The kids and I were squealing and giggling in the aisle of the store!! :) I then spent the better part of the afternoon trying to convince Nathan that the lady they used in the ad didn't steal Mommy's project!! ROTFL!!
So to celebrate I'm giving away some Christmas Blog Candy to one of sweet followers & friends.
Here's how to be eligible to win:
* Add your name to the InLinkz list at the bottom of this post.
Now it would be really sweet if you would promote my blog candy by putting it on the sidebar of your blog and linking it back to my blog....but it's not a requirement to win. :)
And all of my followers are eligible where ever in the world you may live!! :) I will ship the package at my own expense, however I cannot cover any custom fees. Sorry!! :(
I'll draw and announce the winner on January 2nd, 2012!!
Candy Includes:
Penny Black - Good Game wood mount rubber stamp
SCACD - Sweet Mischief Peeker
MTF - Sentimental About Christmas Stamp Set

Guess what...I was just reading Crafts 'n things and saw your cool projects and was actually in the middle of searching the staedtler site to find out how the ornament was made. Then I noticed your name at the bottom of the ad and voila here I am! Love your projects and great blog candy. Would love if you could share how you were able to make that ornament eg. how on earth did you stamp the glass ball so perfectly? Oh and one more thing, your coloring is amazing!
Happy New Year!! :)
