I spent the better part of last week out of town on business. We visited Washington D.C., but didn't have time to visit any of the landmarks or see the cherry blossoms which were in bloom. We did spend a great deal of time on the freeways around the D.C. area. I snapped this photo of a cherry tree as we whizzed by on the freeway!
Right before I left, I received a wonderful box from the folks over at Inspiration Emporium. I first heard of their online store when I registered for Creative Chemistry 101 offered by Online Card Classes. They have a great assortment of the Tim Holtz product line and are my go to store online for his stuff. I do follow their blog as well, trying to join their monthly challenges when I can.
I had the great fortune to win their February monthly challenge. Here's a picture of my winnings. There's Game Pieces (wooden enumerated findings), black Tinsel Twine, Alphabet stickers, pink Sparkly Stuff, the spring colors set of Distress Inks and a overly generous amount of Distress Stains.
You might be wondering what this all has to do with you? In fact, I find that I have a great deal of the Distress Stains in the stash. I thought that my windfall should also be your gain. I know that I don't get a large following in this blog, but if you happen to click through and start following my blog, I'm intended to give away two different sets of happy reward-
 |
| Reward #1- A set of seven Distress Stains |
 |
| Reward #2- A set of Spring Seasonal Distress Ink pads and the matching Distress Stains |
Check out the wonderful folks at Inspiration Emporium. I can vouch for their customer service as well as their kind generosity. Come join the fun in their monthly challenges, their April challenge, A Few of My Favorite Things, closes on the 30th.
Fabulous goodies - and good luck to all in the US, fully understand about postage costs, it's getting ridiculous! To send a card no heavier than 30g is now $1.20 to the US from here, and if it is oversize at all it goes up and up :-( Hope you had a good trip, even if you couldn't stop in DC :-) Have a great week. Hugs, Karon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing such an amazing giveaway-would love to win! I am now a follower!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun at D.C, I've been there but never get a chance to see the cherry blossom as well. And congrats for the win!!! Thanks for sharing them! : )
ReplyDeletedo you have any work from your 101 clqs like you do for your 102 class? if it wasnt for this blog I wouldnt be buying the 102 class-so now Im wondering if I should buy the 101 class-- any work from it on your blog?
ReplyDeleteI'd highly recommend the 101 class.
DeleteI did post my work and you can find it in the months of March and April 2012.I actually found the 101 class better. There was more video instruction and it is longer (2 weeks). Well worth the money.
I'm so glad you found the stuff on Tim Holtz. I don't always use those techniques but I love having them I my back pocket. I'll wish you well if you decide to take the class. I'm glad you joined the comment party!
Congrats on winning Andie! Lovely pic from DC TFS

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the winning! I just saw some videos with the stains - they look really fun! Thanks for letting me know about your comment party!
ReplyDeleteI love your photo. I am a big picture taker any where I go - it's all about taking memories home to look at for years to come. How generous are you to give some of your prize away. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog from Word Art Wednesday and leaving such sweet compliments on my blog. I would love to have seen the Cherry Blossoms. Too bad you only got a quick view. I haven't been to DC in a while but it is a wonderful city if you have a lot of time to visit. Those were wonderful prizes you won and how sweet of you to want to share them with your followers. Thanks for the opportunity to win some of those awesome Distress products!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!! Love your Easter eggs. I'm a new follower. millierose651@aol.com
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for commenting on my blog, and inviting me to visit yours! What wonderful gifts you received, and how generous you are to offer a give-away! I live in Canada, so I don't qualify, but I'm adding you to my Feedly! Your photo of the cherry blossoms - gorgeous! At the moment, here, it's snowing...still...Enough with winter, already *grin*! Have a fabulous day!

You sound just like me - I love my Distress Stains. I even have two of some colors because I use them so much! LOL
ReplyDeleteOoooh, what a great prize package! And you are so sweet for sharing. Would you believe that I still haven't invested in stains?! I know, right?! The cards you posted the other day using them were stunning though so I might have to check the sofa for some change and nab a couple (if I don't win!). You really are the best.
