Inspired Creations + Newsletter

Hey everyone! I’m making a rare weekend appearance to remind you about all of the exciting Inspired Creations tricks Ami and I have up our sleeves at the moment. First up, don’t forget – entries for the second Inspired Creations Contest (open to readers, vendors and bloggers alike) have to be postmarked by November 8! Read up on all the details on the official contest page and remember that this contest is perfect for those of you who aren’t planning a wedding as your DIY creation does not have to be wedding related! As an added bonus, each contest entrant will automatically be entered in our first annual holiday gift swap and will receive one of the amazing creations dreamed up by another contestant! Of course, it gets even better because we have some crazy good prizes up for grabs. One grand prize winner will receive a $200 Williams-Sonoma gift card and a gift box loaded with goodies including –

– a keepsake gift box from Smock
– a custom Ashley Brooke Designs illustration and notecards
– a beautiful Tulet headpiece
– a hand-illustrated poster from Two Brunettes
– a bottle of the newly-released Twigscent fragrance
– a 2011 letterpress calendar from Pistachio Press
– a handmade Paloma’s Nest ornament
– a boxed set of letterpress holiday cards from The Pink Orange

Can you say “happy holidays”? That’s what I thought. (You know you want to win.)

Of course, the inspiration doesn’t stop there, because we’re also getting primed to roll out the Inspired Creations newsletter in advance of the holiday season! You can sign up here in the sidebar (so those of you who read via RSS feed, please click over to sign up!) to receive incredible inspiration that will be exclusive to Inspired Creations newsletters subscribers. It’s going to be good. Want to know how good? Sara Gray, who along with the talented ladies at Posh, was behind our first place entry in the first Inspired Creations Contest (remember this?) is teaming up with us to bring you the first newsletter so you know it’s going to be good.

And we aren’t stopping there! Throughout the weekend and next week we’re going to be randomly selecting newsletter subscribers to receive some great prizes. All you have to do to win is sign up for the newsletter! (We’re making this really easy. We like giving away stuff!)
