Well, here we are, at the end of the Hero Arts Win A Day [on the blog] week, and I must say that it's been an exciting visual experience! If you've not checked out everyone's creations, hustle on over and check out the treats in store for you!
Sarah Moerman with Shari Carroll
Krysten Ng with Lisa Spangler
Kiara Lee with Nancy Taylor
Deborah Nolan with Jennifer McGuire
All of us had a really wonderful time working with the Hero Arts team, and they were so generous. In addition to the amazing amounts of stamps we were allowed to choose, we were also given ink, embellishments, cards, and an apron. I think I speak for us all when I say that it was like landing in Stamping Nirvana. And I had such a wonderful time getting to know Jennifer McGuire! So often when you meet a celebrity, the person is a disappointment, but not she! Very sweet and giving - I highly recommend her as a creative partner and all-around muse. Don't you just love the cards she made for our day? She's amazing!
I want to spread some of the wealth! Please leave a comment here OR on this week's Wednesday Wonder post by 12:00 p.m. EST, Saturday, February 28, 2009, and I'll do a drawing. I will draw two names, and the winner will receive ONE of the items below. (So make sure you indicate your order of preference. I will do my best to accommodate the two winners' desires.)
Tags & Tickets, #CL262 Printed Flowers, #CL290
Asian Frames, #CL275 Great Flourishes, #CL278
Once again, thank you, Hero Arts and Jennifer McGuire, for a really terrific experience!!! I encourage all of you stampers out there to post your creations and get to know the members of the HA FLickr Group. Go NOW and, to use the words of Napoleon Dynamite's Pedro Sanchez, "All your wildest dreams will come true."
Wooohoow, you did an awesome job Deborah (more compliments can be found on the flickr group)
Did you actually get to meet Jennifer? How cool is that!
Maybe they handed out aprons because they read about your 'special relationship' with glue? I'm sure it will come in handy
Anyway, congratz again, I reaeaeaeally loved it!
Sarah
P.S. Printed flowers and asian frames are my favs

Congratulations Deborah!! I loved the way
you connected the elephants by their tails!
Your coloring is super; maybe you will do a
tutorial on your blog? Thanks for a chance to
win. Asian frames and Great Flourishes are
my favorites.

I really enjoyed your day on the Hero Arts blog - I love your work. Jennifer McGuire seems like such a lovely person and it's great that you got to know her! I love the Great Flourishes or the Asian Frames - I am a Hero Arts-a-holic but I don't have either of those yet.

Deborah, I enjoyed your Hero Arts Blog. The "You're So Special Elephant" is wonderful. My favorite stamp set is the Printed Flowers, actually I would enjoy any of them.

Congratulations Deborah on your blog of the day! Your works are fabulous! Also thank you for the generosity of the give away. I would prefer the Great Flourishes and Asian Frames since I had a few of the flower stamps already. Once again, thanks for the inspiration you give to all the stampers across the world! :)
