July 5: Keep Calm and Carry on Notebooks

(You MUST be a FOLLOWER to enter!)

I always say that you should never go anywhere without a pen and a notebook because you never know when you might need it. These little ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ notebooks measure at 7cm x 11cm so they are the perfect size to fit inside your handbag, wallet or pocket! They came in a pack of four, with two books lined and two books without lines. I have already started using two of them and find them to be a cute little talking point whenever I pull it out of my bag. The ‘Keep Calm and…’ phase still seems to be going strong so why not join in?

To enter todays giveaway, all you have to do is follow my blog and reblog and/or like this post, only to entries per giveaway (one reblog and one like)! Todays competition closes in five days time on the 10th of July at 10:00am AEST. I will be announcing the winner via this page. If it is you, please contact me with your address so I can organise shipping. I will be giving away two of these notebooks! As one is lined and one is not it will be a first and second draw. First will get the first pick and second will get the other. Good luck and much love!

Happy A Very Potter Musical anniversary Starkids!!

Sooo cool!!!

Posting this to address some questions, because my asks are usually about my drawing process and what colours I use for portraits.

I’ve said this before, my process is hard to explain. No, I don’t use a grid, I freehand. I do not put down one colour all over, then build with another colour on top of that. Instead, I work through and finish small areas, with multiple colours and layers, before moving to the next area and doing the same. For hair I lay in a spot with a few of the darkest colors, then add highlighted strands in lighter colours on top of that to add depth and movement. (One of the reasons I use Prismacolor pencils - you can lay light on top of dark easily.)

Hope these photos of the drawing in progress assist in the explanation. Bottom photo shows the final piece and all colours used.

All-Things Disney Giveaway -

A few days ago I was looking through my chest of Disney items, which led me to my collection of Disney Pins. I recounted them up and found a few duplicates, along with some never-before used/taken off pins that either people gave me (that I already have), or I just happened to have another same one. I’m currently at a total of 692 pins and decided to start my first summer giveaway on this new blog to give out some of my duplicates. I decided to add some more to this giveaway and went out and bought some of my favorite Disney DVD’s, and put in a $10 Disney Gift Card in with it!

This Giveaway includes:

A 2006 Limited Edition Finding Nemo Disney Cruise Line Pin

A 2007 Limited Edition 25th-Anniversary Epcot Pin (with Tinkerbell)

A 1999 Retired Toy Story 2 Pin

A Disneyland Paris Pin with Stitch by Sleeping Beauty’s Castle & Fireworks

A Limited Edition New York with Stitch Pin

A 2011 Disney Cruise Line Pin

A 2008 Walt Disney World Year of A Million Dreams Pin

A Limited Edition Mickey Mouse Pin (with Minnie)

2-Disc Platinum Edition of Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs

2-Disc Platinum Edition of Beauty and the Beast

2-Disc Platinum Edition of Cinderella

2-Disc Platinum Edition of The Lion King

2-Disc Platinum Edition of The Little Mermaid

2-Disc Platinum Edition of Aladdin

A $10 Disney Store Gift Card!

The images above are images I took of the items, but cropped to fit (except for the Disney gift card, those are images I pulled from the internet - I still need to buy it!)

Qualifications:

Must be following me — this giveaway is for my followers (both my previous and new ones) as a Thank You and appreciation for the support

You can reblog up to 3 times; 1 Reblog = 1 Entry

Sorry, likes don’t count!

Winner will be chosen at random on July 16th, 2012 at 12 AM PST. I’ll announce the winner on both here and on my old/new Twitter page. The winner will get a message in their inbox and will have 24 hours to respond before we give it to the next person chosen. This giveaway is WORLDWIDE; I’ll ship the prizes to the winner the second I get a confirmation from them!

HERE’S A CATCH: This giveaway will only take place if this post reaches 2500+ notes. If this post reaches 5000 notes, the winner will receive a $25 gift card of their choice: Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Disney, or Barnes and Noble. Yay! (If you’re questioning why I’m basing some things off of how many notes it gets, it’s because I want this giveaway to have a large amount of entries so that it makes winning the prize a lot more exciting. A few months ago on another blog of mine, I made a giveaway that only got about 370 notes, which honestly wasn’t much fun.)
