The Prizes:
1st Place will win a mini Smash Book / Art Journal from Pam of alwaysartistic - I had wanted to do Olympic colors but I don't have the right shades, so it is dark blue, red, yellow and green - I didn't have any black paper but that would look good in it too. Plus a package of ten 140 lb cold press watercolor blanks.
The journal consists of: 2 cardboard front and back covers, 2 book rings, 1 Olympic page on canon matte paper - my printer was not co-opperating as I am out of ink and so it has a few streaks through it... you can find a picture and print a replacement if you want.... plus 16 140 lb watercolor paper pages, 1 plastic page protector, 7 canon matte paper, 3 Hallmark mini envelopes, 2 misc pages not sure what they are, 13 cardstock papers (which include 3 tabbed, and 2 double pages)
2nd Place wins the below items from Marlene of Lazyhawk. The first picture is some packets of items for using in Smash Books or Art Journals.
The second is a deck of cards that was made by artists that belong to the big group "ACEO Art Cards and Editions" on Ebay. Each card was designed by a different artist (Marlene was one of the artists) as were the Jokers and the cover of the box. It is a limited edition.
3rd Place wins an ACEO from Lee Pieces shop. The below image shows just a few currently in her shop.
The People's Choice winner wins a package of ten 140 lb cold press watercolor blanks.
