Three Ways to Boost Your Creativity - Big Announcements and a Giveaway Today!

There are lots of fabulous creatives in the world - so how will joining my Creative Tribe boost your creativity?  (And make sure to read to the end for a special Giveaway!)

1.  I have a brand new, awesome, CREATIVE TEAM, who will inspire you all year long!  Here are the eight amazing women who will be helping me to demo and blog about my stamps and stencils all year.   I am beyond thrilled to introduce them to you.


Beginning September 1, one of these artists will be on my blog EVERY THURSDAY with an exciting project.   Read their bios and check out their sites.  I can't wait to see what this international group will do!

2.  My ONLINE CLASSES are chock full of techniques and super-reasonably priced, and come with a wonderful secret FB community of people who support and celebrate each other.  To be part of my creative tribe means to be generous with your knowledge and encouragement.  It means sharing willingly and openly, and finding ways to cheer each other on in our artistic journeys.  If this sounds like you, be part of my tribe.  And check out my newest class, Facing Faces -- 7 videos, a pdf, loads of techniques -- all for under $35! 
BUT WAIT - there's more!!  For the next 10 days, each class will be $5.00 off the prices you see above.  That means that you can purchase all four classes for under $100 -- a savings of $20 for the next 10 days ONLY!

3.  My blog and website are the place to find TUTORIALS AND GIVEAWAYS ON A REGULAR BASIS.   Here is my blogging schedule.  (And remember that starting in September, there will be Creative Team Tutorials every Thursday!)

First Tuesday of the month:  A look back on prior stencil test drives, with links to amazing projects and tutorials done with my stencils, and a GIVEAWAY of the featured stencil.


Second Tuesday: a How To post and video, demonstrating techniques that you'll be able to use in all of your mixed media projects.


Third Tuesday:  The "Mucking Around" series - watch me work in my art journal -- the good, the bad and the ugly!


Fourth and sometimes Fifth Tuesday:  A wild card post - either a student showcase, Instagram round up, or an extra tutorial using various supplies "outside the box."


So make sure to connect with me in all or some of the ways below, and become a part of my Creative Tribe!   Grab this button and join me for this wild and wonderful creative ride!


AND NOW - for the giveaway three commenters -- that's right - three -- will be eligible to select one of my stencils and one of my stamps and have those shipped to you free of charge.  How's that for a way to boost your creativity?  In your comment below, just leave the name of your choice of stamp AND stencil! Check THIS POST next FRIDAY to find out the winners. The giveaway is closed.  Congratulations to PPearce, Wanda and Florenel!
