It's hard to believe that 10 years ago today I shared my very first card on this blog ... and here it is. I think it still stands the test of time. I'd actually like to go revisit that cracked glass technique again.
It was a card I made for the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges at SplitCoastStampers ... which start TODAY. During these last 10 years at SplitCoastStampers, I've been blessed to host the Inspiration Challenge for over 5 years ... to be a Dirty Girl ... and I am even hosting my very own Dare to Get Dirty Challenge this year ... oh how far I've come.
I am forever grateful for the creativity, community & friendships that this blog has allowed me to develop ... so to celebrate 10 years of creative sharing, I have some prizes I want to share.
First, gift certificates to go shopping at two of the companies for which I currently design:
- $20 Gift Certificate to Eyelet Outlet
- $25 Gift Certificate to STAMPlorations
Second, in celebration of our many fantastic years of collaboration as Jingle Belles, my crafting bestie Lauren has donated this fabulous vintage paper packet from her Etsy Store Just Enough Stuff (will you check out that fun little Santa) together with a $15 gift certificate to spend on more goodies (thanks Lauren ... you rock).
And the grand prize --- donated by the ultra-generous Iliana Myska (thank you so very much) --- a $60 Gift Certificate to the My Sweet Petunia Store ... that's enough to get your very own original MISTI (or if you already have one, you can get the awesome new MISTI Studio Bag and some Accessories ... or a second MISTI, perfect for doing layered stamping).
So you're probably asking ... what do I need to do to have a chance to win one of these fun prizes? You'll get one chance for each of the following:
- Leave a comment on this Blog Post telling me one of the things you enjoy most about reading my blog (and if you're not a regular reader, wander around and take a look)
- Like my Facebook Page & Leave a comment on my Blog Anniversary Post on my Facebook Page tagging one of your favorite crafting friends (tag them in separate posts ... I'll send some little goodie to your friend too)
- Share my Facebook Blog Anniversary Posthttps://www.facebook.com/IngeniousInkling/photos/a.157574977727715.37424.157573897727823/826947950790411/?type=3&theater
I'll choose the winners next Saturday (August 5th) at 9am CST.
Thanks again for joining me on this fantastic creative journey.
My favorite things about this blog are seeing your travel pictures - especially of craft/stamp stores and all the weird food you eat :-) Your cards are always an inspiration and I love that I can ask you how to do a technique, etc. THANKS for 10 years of sharing your creativity. PS - One of my most favorite things is the glass magnet you made me last year!! It is very special to me.

That card definitely stands the test of time. There's so much to love about your blog but I have to go with the card inspiration because I've stolen so many design ideas from here. Here's to the next 10!
