I found these blank woodgrain business cards at my Goodwill Thrift Store. I’ll never use all of them, so I’m giving some away in a little contest. The first 5 people to leave a comment with your crafty ideas for these will win a pack of 25 of them.
Prize color is subject to inventory
We are so excited to host another give-away contest here at the Nest. I want to enter (but that would be cheating) because the award is so awesome. Kim from Unemployed Designer, and our Sponsor for this week, has donated a Leather Business Card Case and a Leather Pony Tail Holder to our winner. Kim has also designed a bit of a challenge to go along with the contest so to enter read below. All of the entries should be made in our comments to this post, so be sure to leave you email address or URL so we can contact you if you are chosen as the winner. Good Luck! Read more »
I recieved this notice in my newsletter from the Ohio Arts and Crafts Guild of a call for submissions for Ohio artist. Here’s a quote from the notice from Cleveland Public Art:
Call For Entries
Cleveland Public Art in partnership with the City of Cleveland invites interested artists, designers, architects, and other creative professionals to submit design ideas for a permanent public art project that will call attention to and raise the visibility of a new commuter bike facility being constructed in downtown Cleveland.Eligibility
This project is open to local artists, architects, designers, creative professionals, and students of all ages. (Applicants must be a current resident or student of the State of Ohio) Collaborations are welcome.
Do you have an environmental idea brewing that could impact your community? Enter that idea at The Green Effect and it could win one of five $20,000 awards to make it happen! The winners will be invited to Washing D.C. to discuss their ideas, plus they’ll be featured in National Geographic.
For our next give-away, you can win a set of six seed packets (made from recycled tea bags) I made for the last tutorial. You’ll get garden beans, peas, spaghetti squash (a new favorite of mine), sage, onion, and cilantro, all in this paper-crafted glass jar. Just leave a comment on this post describing something new you’re trying in your garden this year. We’ll randomly choose a winner from the comments. Contest closes at 11pm on Tuesday, May 5.
Contest details: The winner will be notified by email on Wednesday, May 6. Winner pays shipping costs for the least expensive shipping method (unless you prefer something faster). You will be able to pay shipping costs via Paypal. Then I’ll send you the seeds so you can get busy in your garden or give them as a spring gift.
I just wanted to pass on the news that the Angry Chicken is doing a book give-away on her Tie One On blog. In order to win you have to enter a submission in her No $$ Apron Contest. The contest ends on April 30th so time is of the essence. 
I am going to enter this apron I made a while back from a dress that I had bought to wear, but after trying to wear it a few times I felt it was a little too outlandish for regular everyday wear. It makes a perfect apron though, as it is more than acceptable (necessary maybe?) to wear outlandish clothing while baking and mopping. All of the fabric used for this apron is from the dress itself and was more than fun to make. It was inspiring, actually, and now I have another cut up dress in the process of being apronized.
p.s. Please excuse the modeling. I’m not normally that posed, but I sold this apron on etsy and needed to show people the sassy feel of the thing. I do like how it looks like I have a picture growing out of my head. That keeps me humble. 
I wanted to let our readers know about this contest on CraftStylish. You enter to win a Yudu Screen Printing System (which I really want to win!) by submitting your original craft project, inspired by nature to the contest page on CraftStylish’s website. There is no limit to the number to projects you can enter and there are four categories to be judged: earth, wind, fire and water. There will be one Grand Prize winner over all.
Submissions must be in by April 22nd to qualify, so get working! Good luck!
