CANADA DAY "TRIPLE PLAY" GIVEAWAY !!

Happy Canada Day, friends!  To celebrate the holiday, I am tripling your chances to win my monthly CD collection giveaway.  Here's how it works.

You can win ONE OF THREE collections of vintage images on CD that will be drawn.  These images come from my personal collection and are in simple JPG format so you can easily use them for so many different arts and crafts projects.  They are terrific for mixed media, collage, art journaling, assemblage, scrapbooking, card making and more.  Each CD has over 3,000 vintage images similar to the sample images you see below.  These are public domain images that you are free to use, even in things you wish to sell.  The only limitation is that you can't reproduce the images or the collection either digitally or in print to resell because the collection is copyrighted to me.  

How do you get your TRIPLE PLAY entry in the draw?  Here's what you do:

1. To the right of this post on my blog, look for "Networked Blogs' and click on the "Follow This Blog" icon.  If you are already following this blog, just let me know to get yourself in the entry.
2. Go to my Facebook art page:   www.facebook.com/JoannaGrantArt and "Like" the page.  Leave me a comment that you have done so and that will be your second chance to win. If you already follow my Facebook page, let me know and you'll be all set for the second chance to win a CD.
3. Share this blog post or my Facebook page and let me know you've done so and you're in the draw for a third chance.

That's it.  The draw will be made on July 5 so check back on this blog then to see if you've won.  Thanks so much for entering and for all your support.

Much love always!

Another CD Collection Giveaway !!

Hello, everyone!  Wow!  The first day of March already.  Is time ever flying by.  I think it's time for another CD collection giveaway, don't you?

As I've done the past couple of months on the first day of the month, I am having a draw for a free copy of one of my vintage images collections on CD.  If you've seen this draw before, you'll know that these are images that I collected over the years and then scanned and organized them into collections for other artists to use too.

On this CD there are over 3,000 vintage images, all in simple JPEG format, so they are easy to use, crop, alter as you'd like in your artful adventures.   You are free to use the images for any personal use including products you may sell but the collection is copyrighted (which means it can't be reproduced in whole or in part either digitally or in print to be resold).

Below are some samples of the kinds of images from the CD.

To have a chance to win it, please share this blog post on Facebook, and/or re-post to your own blog and leave me a message that you have done this.  I also invite you to sign up here to receive my blog updates if you'd like to keep in the loop as to what I'm up to.

I will make the draw on March 3 and post the winner's name here.  One entry per person, please.  Those who have won before are welcome to enter again.

As always, I appreciate your interest in my art and my blog.  Good luck everyone!

FEBRUARY GIVEAWAY - ENTER TO WIN!!

Whew!  So glad that January is done with.  It has been long and cold and I, for one, am tired of it.  What say we do another giveaway to brighten your day?

This month's prize will be another of my CDs from my collection.  This one is for Volume 1 which has more than 3,000 vintage images of women, children, pets, etc.,  all from the Victorian/Edwardian time (both black and white and hand tinted).  They come from the huge collection of vintage post cards I had years ago, which I spent several months scanning and sorting into collections that made sense from the user's perspective.

These are public domain images that you are welcome to use for all kinds of artful projects like art journaling, collage, mixed media, scrapbooking, card making and more!  They are in simple jpg format on a CD so that you can easily load them into PhotoShop or other editing software.

To enter the draw, all you need to do is start following this blog and leave me a note here that you have done so.  Easy peasy.  Those who have entered my draws before are welcome to do so again.

I will make the draw on February 3 and post an announcement here.

Good luck.  Here are a few sample images of the more than 3,000 (yes, you read that right) that are in this collection (most shown are hand tinted but there is a large assortment of black and white images as well in this collection).
