Please Vote - Design Throwdown!

I was asked by the lovely Kelsey from Minted Life to participate in a Design Throwdown.  Essentially, it's Iron Chef for the design set - take a common "ingredient" and make it fabulous.  We decided on a basic outdoor mat from IKEA and the results were completely different but completely AWESOME.

Kelsey paired up with Morgana from Fellow Creatives.  I brainstormed with Penny from Pantomime Papers.  Now it's time for judging.  That is where you come in!  Using the survey below, vote for your favorite outcome.  We have Team Ahoy who transformed the plain Jane mat into an adorable summery welcome mat and Team Pinboard who turned the mat into a "Cork" Board and a French Memo Board.  See what I mean?  They are both so much fun.

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey, the world's leading questionnaire tool.

What a fun concept!  A big thank you to Kelsey for inviting me to participate in this Design Throwdown!

It's Giveaway Time!

As a huge THANK YOU to all of my new & old followers and clients, I am hosting my first giveaway!  I have alluded to it in the past (with this post), and my love of 3Form is popping up once again!

 You guessed it!  I am giving away one 3Form Cuff Bracelet.  I ordered 2 of them - 1 for me and 1 for you (that's how I Christmas shop, too...it can be dangerous!).  Because I like both of them so much, I am letting you pick which one you'd like to sport!

The Ithemba Cuff

Or the Ting Ting Cuff

The resin is made from 40% recycled content - & these bracelets are made from the leftovers of various 3Form installations.  Genius!
