And the Winner is Pia!!!! Please send me your mailing address to pcarrikersart@yahoo.com and I’ll get your book on it’s way to you!!
Thank you all for stopping by to leave comments and participate in the drawing.
Told you I had some super awesome things to give away this month!!! I’m thrilled to have been included in Chrysti Hydeck and Susan Tuttles new book! It is a beautiful mix of art and photography that has me itching to get an iPhone! (T-mobile is like the last holdout for getting them-lol-but they are coming soon or so I’m told!) and also makes me feel like maybe I too can begin to use Photoshop. I love how the books instructions are laid out in an easy to follow way. There are even screen shots for the true technophobes like me.
This book also has mixed media art projects in it, one of which immortalizes my beloved dog Relay:-)

So how do you win your own copy? Simply leave a comment on this post and on the 21st of December (providing the world does not come to an end on that day;-) I will draw a name and a copy will be mailed to you!!!
I’m also very honored that both of these talented ladies are featured in my upcoming book as well. I absolutely love their work!

Photoshop will open all kinds of possibilities for you Pam. I love it. If I don’t win the book, I am going to have to go out and buy one.
December 19th, 2012 at 1:43 am
Well, if this book is half as good as yours, I’d love to win it. And no, I’m not trying to suck up, this was just an opportunity to praise you anyway. Mixed media is a new world to me (I’m a photographer mainly), but you definitely got me interested in paints and papers again.
Cute dog, Molly says woof!
December 21st, 2012 at 8:55 am

I’d love to win this book! I’ve been to Art and Soul 3 years and everyone always raved about your class! I rely a lot on my Ipod Camera for creativity when I don’t have the time to sit down and paint, etc. Susan’s work is so inspiring – I’d love to try and get to her level. Money has been very limited for my family this year, so if I win it would be the best Gift for me! Thanks for hosting such a wonderful giveaway!

December 15th, 2012 at 9:36 am
Stacey Merrill sent me by, I’d love to win the book as I desperately need help in this area!
December 15th, 2012 at 9:36 am
I wonder if crossing my fingers and toes and arms at the elbow will help me win? I sure hope so. But, it’s gonna be awfully uncomfortable till the 21st.
December 15th, 2012 at 9:23 am
Fantastic giveaway! I’ve taken a couple of Susan’s online classes which were packed with easy to follow info. And you should definately start playing with photoshop – I think you’d be a natural
December 15th, 2012 at 9:04 am
Thanks for this giveaway. This book looks so exciting…just what I love.
December 15th, 2012 at 5:34 am

December 15th, 2012 at 1:48 am
Sounds like a fabulous book Pam. My fingers are crossed.
December 15th, 2012 at 12:49 am
Aloha! I used to work at Adobe years ago and was always so impressed by what our creative department could do with the product yet–not being a techie–I was intimidated by Photoshop. This looks like something that could certainly get me past that fear! Congrats on being included and love your little man. He is a cutie : )
December 14th, 2012 at 11:53 pm
I would love to win this book! I love my iPhone…mostly because of the camera and you will too when you et your iPhone!

December 14th, 2012 at 7:26 pm
Thank you for giving us an opportunity to win a copy of this book—it looks like I’d enjoy it….am an amateur photographer and have just gotten Photoshop. I want to expand my skills and I’m hoping this book with do that along with giving me some inspiration.
December 14th, 2012 at 6:54 pm
And I LOVE how you’ve made snow fall on your blog site!!! That is just way cool!!!!
December 14th, 2012 at 6:53 pm
Thanks for the opportunity to win! I’ve dabbled in Photoshop but have discovered that you have to use it often in order to remember how to do all the stuff….so having a nice reference source nearby would be GREAT!
December 14th, 2012 at 6:45 pm
Just checked this book out on amazon.com I really liked what I saw. Even if I don’t win this book, I would definitely be asking Santa for it.
December 14th, 2012 at 6:42 pm
I love your work and photography. Winning tis book would be an awesome gift. Thanks for the opportunity.
December 14th, 2012 at 6:36 pm
Digital mixed media is a lot of fun but I have so much to learn that it would be great to have my name drawn!
December 14th, 2012 at 6:31 pm
I enjoy doing mixed-media artwork so winning the book would be awesome! Following blogs like yours has helped inspire me to do more than just crafts like rubber stamping. I’ve got a BFA in painting and have neglected to paint or do original art since I’ve been disabled due to back pain. Art helps to heal, or so I’ve been told, but being in so much pain makes it difficult to be creative. So, I thank you for inspiring me with your work.
December 14th, 2012 at 5:26 pm
Pam, Congratulation for being included in this book. I was so excited when I read the description. I recently obtained Photoshop and have yet to start learning how to use it. And your dog is soooo cute. Susan
December 14th, 2012 at 5:15 pm

Thanks for yet another Holiday giveaway, Pam! You’re such a sweetie! Don’t consider myself a technophobic but, boy, could I use a book that would reduce my Photoshop anxiety!

Thank you Pam for the very generous offer, can’t wait for your DVD 365 to arrive. xoxox Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too.

December 14th, 2012 at 9:17 am
I’ve had this book on my list of things to get yet and here you are offering it in a giveaway. I peeked at the inside pages and it looks like it is filled with amazing information…all that info I need to be able to do this. I am also a technophobe but want to get past thatand explore and discover; as to why I had this book on my list. I’d be grateful to win this. Thanks for the chance.
December 14th, 2012 at 9:09 am
Thanks, Pam, for the giveaway! I have worked some with Adobe Photoshop but this book looks like it would be a great help in understanding what I am doing. Looking forward to your new book, too.

December 14th, 2012 at 8:29 am
What a beautiful book!! I’ve been working with Photoshop for a few years now and I love it! I first used it to create a digital scrapbook of my trip to Greece and then to fine tune my photography. Wonderful, versatile software for crafters and photographers.
The book looks so interesting and fun!
December 14th, 2012 at 8:27 am
Taking LOTS of photos with my i-phone. Would love this inspiration to make art out of them!

December 14th, 2012 at 8:10 am
I don’t think I could possibly have too many books on this subject. Everyone explains things a little differently and has their own twist on how they use various features, and the more I read (and do), the more I understand! Thanks for the giveaway offer. Merry Christmas to you!
December 14th, 2012 at 7:53 am
Like you Pam, I’m itching to learn photoshop. Dare I hope to win?? Thanks for all of your giveaways!

Pam,
I can’t wait for your new book to hit the press! What a wonderful new book, I am truly timid where it comes to digital design and technology, I am use to tactile supplies rather than virtual ones but I think the media is amazing. Thank you for a chance to participate in your give away.

OMGosh, this is so exciting. Love Susan Tuttles, I was lucky enough to win a Dog Photography book on her blog and I had just purchased a new camera. I think this is going to be my year
I just got my Photoshop 10 in the mail, and am deciding whether to get an iPhone or Samsung III. It must be a sign don’t you think? Just love her work and have not been able to get the magical results I’m wanting – guess I need this new book!!
Fingers and toes are crossed, fickle finger of fate HERE I AM.
December 14th, 2012 at 5:49 am
This book looks fabulous! I love mixing personal photos into mixed media art. Your Relay is adorable! Would love to win this – I love Susan Tuttle too.
