The TJ Treasure Hunt - Final Stop!

Welcome! You have arrived at the last stop of the August Technique Junkie Newsletter Treasure Hunt. If this is your first stop, I suggest you take a minute or two to go to the Technique Junkie Design Team Blog and follow our path. You may just be the winner of our great prize package!

If you have followed the path all the way through, you will need this letter: X. It is the final clue to the 4 word "key" that opens the treasure chest!

As you may know, the cards on the blogs in the Treasure Hunt were all created with techniques from the TJ 7th Edition CD Bonus Techniques, and all of them feature our fabulous vendors. (You can pre-order YOUR copy of the CD today! Details are HERE). My card today is no exception! I created my card using the Starry Night Technique -- again, one of the bonus techniques from CD7. The adorable stamps used are from Clear Artistic Stamps (Remember, Technique Junkies receive 15% off! Check my sidebar for details).

Hey, want to know what you can win with this giveaway? First, this package, which includes stamps from See D's, Innovative Stamp Creations, Clear Artistic Stamps and Firecracker Designs by Pamela, PLUS a package of 4 Shimmerz paints: And these stamps from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps: PLUS a copy of the new CD (Note that if you pre-ordered it, you can have another copy OR I will refund the cost of the CD!).

Okay, this post is long enough -- let me tell you how to enter!
First and foremost, leave me a comment below with the "key" to the treasure box (the 4 word phrase that you collected along the way). Note that your comment will NOT show up -- I have comment moderation on because of the "key." Make sure that you leave enough information so that I can contact you to let you know you won. Just a reminder that Blogger does NOT leave me your email address. A great way to do this is to leave your email address in a spelled-out way, such as "p huntoon at optonline dot net." I will use my handy random number generator to pick the winning entry. You do NOT need to be a TJ subscriber to win. Comments must be entered by 9am EST Friday September 4th. Good Luck!

Congratulations, Gail Beezley! Gail is the lucky winner of this fabulous prize package!

PS: Remember to mark your calendars for next month's Treasure Hunt on Monday, September 28th! Our treasure hunts are scheduled for the last Monday of every month. In September, we will be previewing the techniques from the October 2009 issue!

Cuttlebug Highlights in Autumn

Fall is my favorite time of year. Living in Connecticut, the leaves are so gorgeous in autumn...it is impossible NOT to love fall. I think this card captures autumn perfectly! It makes me want to put on a sweater and take a walk in the cool, fresh air.

The leaf stamps in this card were made with Close To My Heart using the Stamp Rolling Technique from the Technique Junkie First Edition CD. The light green panel uses the Cuttlebug Highlight Technique from the October 2008 issue of the TJ Newsletter. Of course, I HAD to add some Shimmerz Paint to the leaves, too. I just couldn't help myself!
The crackle stamp on the dark green cardstock is from Stampin' Up!, and the saying is from Club Scrap.

I hope your fall has been as beautiful and colorful as mine!

Wonderful Wednesday Giveaway -- Shimmerz Paints


I am uber-super excited. Today's giveaway is NOT stamps. Instead, I have these gorgeous Shimmerz Paints! If you have not yet heard about Shimmerz Paints, you are in for a wonderful, fun, glimmering time...They are happiness in a bottle!

The winner of this giveaway will receive the Bandanna Halloween card above (Bandanna Technique: August 2008 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter), along with 4 colors of Shimmerz Paints: Butter Cream, Royal Purple, Iced Lavender and Pumpkin. The Bandanna card is super shimmery in person -- the witch, the pumpkins, "Happy Halloween" and even the spiderwebs were all painted with Shimmerz! As you can see on the right, the paints have a beautiful translucent sparkle to them. I bet I never put these away -- they will stay right on my desktop! (Note, the stamps used on the card are NOT part of the giveaway, they are from my personal collection.)

Here is what I love about Shimmerz (okay, I took this from their website, but I couldn't have said it better!!):

  • They're already mixed. No recipe, no mess
  • They're ridiculously shimmery
  • They dry on glossy or non-porous surfaces, so they're perfect for use on acetate or metal
  • They come in 35 spectacular colors
  • They're non-toxic
  • They're water-based

One thing I discovered while working with them is that when I wanted a different color, I simply colored my image with marker underneath, then painted over that with the Shimmerz Butter Cream -- it was like having custom colors at my disposal!

Check out Shimmerz Blog to find an online resource or retailer who carries Shimmerz Paints. Now, this is how YOU can win them...

ANYONE can enter this give away.One entry per person, per give away, please. To enter the give away for today, simply leave a comment on this blog entry telling me that you would like to enter by 11:59pm EST on Sunday, October 26th. No other entry methods will be included in the give away. If you email me to enter, your entry will NOT be considered a valid entry. When you leave the comment, make sure to put your NAME in the comment -- if you enter your comment as "Anonymous", I cannot give you the prize! Blogger does NOT record your email address for me, so you will need to check back to find out if you have won or include your email address in your comment so that I can notify you. A good way to do this is like so: phuntoon at optonline dot net -- it will help protect your privacy! I will have a random number generator pick one number from the comments to select one winner. Each give-away is separate, so to be eligible for a specific item you must enter that day's contest on the post where it is listed. Enter today -- good luck! I have blog give aways every Wednesday -- come play!

Congratulations to Carey Rogers -- the winner of these paints!
