Easter Egg Hunt!

Published in: Giveaway, Illustration with 45 comments

Welcome to my very first Easter Egg Hunt!

Here’s how it works:
It’s simple! I have hidden 5 Easter eggs in 5 different posts (see image below). The first person to find all 5 of these cute little eggs and name their locations in a comment, wins! This contest is open to anyone worldwide… and if you’re a friend or family member, you can also participate – don’t feel like you can’t just because you know me ;)

1st Prize:
First prize is TEN (that’s right, TEN!) birthday cards that I designed for Bug Art. These are professionally printed and available in stores now. They are beautifully detailed with gold and flitter and come wrapped in a cello sleeve, including a matching coloured envelope! You can view the ten designs on my portfolio page.

Draw Prize:
I will also be selecting one winner to receive any 3 (of their own choosing) Bug Art cards. In order to qualify for this prize, you simply have to leave a comment in this post and I will make a random draw from the comments on Easter Sunday (April 12)!

Have fun and happy hunting!!

Beautiful Work by Claudia

Published in: Inspiration, Stamps with 13 comments

Claudia Rosa over at Pretty Pressings has made a beautiful card and box set with a few of my new spring stamps. I wanted to post these to show how she’s made them into a themed collection for a baby boy. The colour scheme is just perfect and all the details works so nicely together. I love when people appreciate the presentation of a gift as much as the gift itself – lovely! Thanks for sharing these with me, Claudia!
